Well - it's one hell of a mess!
I watched the CEO of BP in a TV interview yesterday morning. He seemed
genuinely upset about the situation and promised that BP will do
everything possible that money can fix - yet it cannot fix everything
(damage to wildlife in particular). I believed him - he's well aware,
too, that thousands of BP employees live around the Gulf and so do many
of the company's retirees (all of whom are no doubt shareholders too -
they'll have a vote, that's for sure!). The company is strong enough to
weather the storm - I think!
The dreadful events have occurred because man is operating at the
extreme limit of his technical knowledge - like women, man needs to know
his limits!
