BP's Gulf Spill Report Shows String of Failures

eldavojohn writes "News is out of BP's report on the gulf spill that shifts some of the blame on to other companies like Transocean that worked with BP in erecting the Deepwater Horizon rig. If you were affected by the spill, you might find the video, executive summary and 193-page report an interesting read. The summary outlines six or seven major failures in safety and engineering that all built up to the deaths of eleven workers and widespread contamination of the gulf. From incorrectly using seawater instead of drilling fluid to misinterpreting pressure test results, this report is just BP's side of the story as the blowout preventer has been pulled up and is still on its way to NASA where it will be analyzed by government investigators who will be able to compile their own report."

Any major disaster is at the end of a long chain of fuckups (this applies to /. stories as well of course). No doubt there's plenty of blame here - many people need to cooperate to keep the chain of fuckups going to where multiple safety and contingency systems fail.

When will you people wake up and realize that they do these things on purpose to manufacture crises that they then solve for you while their buddies in business laugh all the way to the bank? It's not a conspiracy theory you dismissive unimaginative fucks. They don't give a shit about you. They don't care how much harm they cause or how much damage they do. They will happily retard the entire collective human consciousness and level of spiritual awareness if it means more money and power for them. Fat and stupid and oblivious and childish and egotistical is just how they want you to be.

You're being controlled. You're being farmed like livestock. Your masters know what's best for you. They sure as hell don't want you waking up to the reality that all the important decisions are made for you, that the Democrat vs. Republican bullshit is nothing but bickering over trivialities to give you the illusion of choice. Be a good little citizen and do your job and know your role and vote the party ticket and don't question too hard. Be an even better citizen and tell me I'm a tin-foil hatter, just like a good Catholic in the Dark Ages would have called Galileo a heretic.
