sorry, this shit makes me fucking sick. if the govt. would have had these acoustic systems in place none of this would have happened. what the fuck is wrong with our country to let a BRITiSH company come into our waters and not even have the fail safe measurements they use in their own?
 
Some other faggot already reposted this from fark/sa/reddit but if he were still here, he'd be out in a boat shitting on dolphins
 
That the corporations denied the usefulness of the failsafe switch on grounds that they were unproven in order to not incur the cost of implementing them? Yeah, that seemed to be what you were saying.
 
That is far better than the other post saying "OTHER COUNTRIES DO IT, IT MUST WORK."
 
yea, except the rigs who have had this device on them have never had any significant spill
 
not gonna happen. and if people aren't fucking worried about it, then they suck as human beings and americans.
 
Profits?

Offering company's lower safety standards to attract them to invest in the US industry.
 
The acoustic trigger costs about $500,000. Estimated costs of the oil spill to Gulf Coast residents are now upward of $14 billion to gulf state communities. Bush's 2005 energy bill officially dropped the requirement for the acoustic switch off devices explaining that the industry's existing practices are "failsafe."
