I’d also like to highlight the fact that the article mentions how BP calculated the cost of human life in its risk assessment practice until 2005. Their spokesman claims that model no longer applies - presumably they now use a different spreadsheet.

The population has grown—perhaps life is cheaper now.

(To be fair all risk management, even erection of a Stop sign, involves valuation of human life.)
