No, they have not just been “lucky”.
I understand your mistrust.
Wells out there get “kicks” every day.
And the folks on them know it’s a warning sign, and know exactly what to do to prevent a blowout, and they do it.
BP did NOT do it, by calculated STUPID decision.

I feel for the oil workers, just as I feel for the fishermen I’ve known at Bayou le Batre. The problem is that we have to know that the industry conditions, those which produced that stupid BP decision, are not built in to the other companies.
