I love how we're blowing this situation up to be the equivalent of Katrina. Quick someone make a thread calling the New York car bomb "Obama's 9/11"
I'll take you guys seriously when 20000+ people are living in the Superdome.
I thought the car bomb was a light skinned Latino protesting US Immigration laws and demanding immediate amnesty and citizenship? I'm using Obama's standards of "proof" on that.
I think you can squarely put the blame for Katrina-II on the head of Barry Sotero. He should be fired immediately for his failure to prevent this devastation. Instead he fully blames the British Petroleum Company before the investigation has really even been started in earnest. The coast guard hasn't even deployed it's subs yet I don't believe.
At this stage I don't know that we can't rule out an act of terrorism or sabotage but I do think a remote cutoff system will soon become mandatory. How old is this rig anyway? I don't recall anyone saying yet. It could be that older technology played a part.
Almost forgot! No, they aren't filling the Superdome but Sea World and numerous others are preparing to rescue the wildlife. Also lots of people from fishing to tourism industries are getting pink slips until this is over and it could take years.
