And when it comes to safety, BP's safety record has been steadily improving for the last 10 years to the extent that, in a stroke of admitted irony, officials were on board the rig on the day of the disaster to celebrate 7 years without a lost time accident. That's actually quite a phenomenal feat.
They are the ones responsible for supervising the rig.
They are the ones responsible for going against the recommended plans.
And before you go talking about the largest natural disaster in US history and beating up BP for it let's understand that it would have been no natural disaster at all if the Obama administration had not hindered efforts to contain the spill. This oil was a threat to nothing as long as it remained in the Gulf. Oil from this spill should never have reached the shore and the US government is the only party to blame for it having done so.
