60 minutes just had a great piece with one of the survivors of the rig explosion. That guy had a great story about how he escaped. Anyway, he talked a lot about some BP bigwigs visiting the rig, who basically superseded Transocean's safety procedures in the interest of faster drlling. Combine that with a faulty rubber gasket on the blowout valve(which was known about beforehand) and you have a giant fail which is going to fuck up the oceans for quite a while.
