I hope others just got to see the 60 minutes interview with the Chief Electronics guy who was one of the last off the rig.

THEY KNEW BEFOREHAND THEY DAMAGED THE BOP. They clamped the thing down and some dumbass hit a joystick and it ripped 15' of drill pipe thru the gasket....they had handfuls of rubber gasket in their drill pipe. The lead investigator has said there is no way they did proper pressure tests.

The removal of the drilling mud and replacement with seawater was done to expedite the drilling because what was supposed to take 7 days took 6 weeks and they were losing money.

I sincerely hope every one of these managers is jailed. This is nothing short of criminal.
