There are accidents, and then there are accidents. It would be one thing to have had a broken pipe and a leak, but the entire platform was lost in explosions and flames, like the end of a James Bond movie. There was an explosion in Connecticut during the final stages of construction at a gas-fired power plant a few months ago. Then there was the coal mine explosion.
Yes, accidents happen, but all of these were catastrophic, and in each instance the evidence points to a failure of management. If these had been the result of terrorist explosions, imagine the political turmoil. But instead what we get are excuses, foot-dragging and evasiveness.
Here’s one hole that AIN’T being fixed! The long-range consequences of this disaster are beyond imagining.
