I was worried this would happen. I just didn’t’ expect it to happen so soon.
What caused the Horizon explosion? Corporate cutting corners on safety and maintenance in favor of a few extra bucks. I would be genuinely surprised if this exposition isn’t attributed to the same. After all, if your competitor is raking in a larger profit by cutting corners, how long until you begin to do so as well?
The feds NEED to mandate safety inspections on all working rigs NOW. If they’re not up to code, shut them down until they’re fixed. Period. Do not pass go and do NOT collect $200.
Thank God for those who got away. Prayers and hopes for the one that is still lost.
