Re: The Spill

yeah new frontline docu...want to watch.

Re: The Spill

^Did you see the one they did right after the spill occurred?

Re: The Spill

i dont think so? i dont see any new eps related to that on the timeline on the homepage

Re: The Spill

It might have been 60 minutes come to think of it.. I think I posted it here actually... in which case I'm sure you did see it.

Re: The Spill

actually i think i did watch that, i remember watching something about the spill already. usually catch 60 mins every week so it was probably this.

Re: The Spill

just watched this, good expose on the lack of oversight and focus on cost cutting at the top that has led to all of their operational problems over the years. sadly though since they are such a large company it will take decades to fix any of this, if at all.

Re: The Spill

^That's what it said, they neglect precautionary measures such as pigging to save a $100K, etc... absurd.

7 years before they will be able to drill any new wells in the US.

Along a similar vein is the trash problems China is having right now. They don't have the infrastructure to properly manage their waste, so their are massive dump sites, something like 400+ surrounding the major cities. The problems is the streams and rivers carry this trash directly to the ocean where it accumulates and eventually either gets eaten or washes up on shores in Hawaii and other pacific islands. There's something like 7 major trash islands under the surface enormous in size between the continents... that shit is highly disturbing.

Re: The Spill

yeah not repairing stuff for $150k, are you kidding? A company that big? Thats not even a blip on the radar. The bigger problem is just the culture of making money is greater than even the bare minimum of safety checks.
