FROM THE NY TIMES, June 21 article "Between Blast and Spill, One Last, Flawed Hope" - "Transocean said that BP, as the rig's operator, would have determined the blowout preventer's configuration. ''Operators select B.O.P. stack configurations based on their anticipated operating environments, including water depths, seismic data, anticipated well conditions and the like.'' "
**********************
SO, THEY BASE ALL REQUIREMENTS ON THE 'BEST CASE' . MEANING, "WE WILL NOT SPEND A PENNY MORE THAN THE LOWEST PRICE, AND WE KNOW DAMN WELL THAT EVERYTHING WE DO IS BASED ON A "FANTASY" OF HOW THINGS WILL GO."
Hang 'em High. The MMS folks too.
ALSO from the NY Times - "In 2001, just as BP and Transocean were pressing the Deepwater Horizon into service, the Minerals Management Service was being warned against allowing deepwater rigs to operate with only one blind shear ram. The agency had commissioned a study that documented more than 100 failures during testing of blowout preventers. "
BUT the MMS did nothing. They 'signed off' on drilling without EVER checking documents, because that way they have "plausible deniability".
Like I said, the MMS folks too.

THIS is what we get when we have a government that is 'in bed with big business', and don't force out the bad apples.
We are in DIRE STRAIGHTS, PEOPLE !!! Not only are the shits in Congress in the pocket of big business, but the people doing the "low level control" of big business is either being paid 'under the table', waiting to quit to go work for them, or JUST PLAIN CROOKED and are collecting paychecks (OUR TAX MONEY) while sitting with their thumbs up their butts, playing video games on government PC's, and downloading / copying porn with OUR money.
