How about using 'fail safe' blowout preventer shutoff valves. The whole
problem is 'no shutoff'. Stop all new drilling until a fail safe blowout
preventer can be made.

If I wasn't me I wouldn't like me either..........

Well BP cut budgets and had that refinery blow up, quite a few people
died, a year or so ago BP who owns the alaska pipeline and had cut the
repair budget to the bone, had a major leak.

their histrorical track record is cutting costs to much have accdent.

wonder if that will be the root cause again?

in any case all platfrms should have the better blowout valves used by
the rest of the world. signal from surface quits for any reason valves
slam shut

we REALLY NEED to get the US economy OFF OIL!!

The problem is that there was apparently a tool string in the pipe
that prevented the BP from closing it when it went off. *The problem
was NOT that the BP didn't trip, so what would your suggestion fix?

This is interesting. Could you point me to more information on this, I
hadnt heard about it. As recently as 2 hours ago AP was quoting
workers on the platform as saying both the BP and and the backup,
DEADMAN, failed to trigger.
