Transocean - Safest Year ever

You are misinformed. I can safely say that any decision to shut down the rig, or to power through despite warning signs, has to be made by BP engineers, and Transocean engineers on the site are left only with the ability complain up the ladder. Save for the Board itself halting drilling operations, which is more improbable than myself shutting down the Horizon, Transocean's contract with BP restricts us from making the decisions you are insinuating we made (or refused to make).

Please, show us what you are reading. Prove me wrong.

I am not defending the Deepwater Horizon disaster. I was not on the rig. It is above my pay-grade to be privy to such decisions as they are made. I am just representing my experiences in dealing with the investigations, lawsuits, and aftermath, which are extensive, and trying to appropriately assess the blame, just as you all are. I have read literally thousands of external reports and lawsuits detailing what took place. We are certainly not proud of what happened, but the preventative measures that should have taken place clearly fall under BP's jurisdiction.

If you think it is an easy kill to hate Transocean LTD for oily ducks and bonuses, try working for the machine. It isn't Steven Newman's fault though.
