I think the meaning of "get my life back" might be a little different to him versus, say, a local fisherman.

I take that as a, "you really think I want to be dealing with this for months on end? I want this to be over more than any of you."
He's just a human. I don't feel sorry for him or hate him. ![]() |

I take it as, "Fuck, I gambled with cheaping out on safety devices and messed up because something actually happened and now I have to deal with it."

Fuck him and his short sighted selfishness/arrogance/ability to buy rules that favor his company's ability to put profit ahead of personal and environmental safety. |

I doubt he was that closely involved with the operations of that specific oil well. He has bigger fish to fry.

he's the CEO which means the buck stops there. That's the price one pays for being in charge.

Its easy to lay blame, and say they cheaped out on equipment, but its a situation that nobody thought possible before now. BOP's dont fail. Or didn't, before this happened. I worked on drilling rigs. I've worked on out of control wells. BOP's are your last line of defence, they ARE the back up plan. Noone could concieve that you'd need a backup plan for the backup plan that was already considered failsafe.
