BP in Hot Seat

So the top executives are not testifying in front of Congress and stating the obvious
that they are devasted and they did not know that this would happen. To be fair to all the parties involved, the magnitude of this disaster was a surprise to everyone, but that is why there are contingencies in place to prevent it. I can’t believe for a second that BP being one of the largest Oil companies in the world did not have a contingency plan of some sort in place to prevent this from happening and if the accident did happen, did not have the right equipment or manpower or whatever specialization to fix this leak in the first place.

I posted on one of my previous posts on this disaster long time ago and was confident that this I would not have to post a follow up to the Oil disaster that is now engulfing the Gulf of Mexico. But here I am again talking about the disaster. But blaming all on BP would be to absolve the Federal Government slow response to the crisis. I understand that the private sector is the best to help deal with private matters but there are some things that the private sector cannot do and that are disaster management on a large scale. This has what happened to the BP oil leak.
