I have been in process control for 32 years. I have lived the huge regulations that have been imposed on the chemical industry from the 90's on. It is mind boggling to me that these companies would be able to operate irresponsibly in this day and age.

The safety record of the company and this rig in particular were amoung the worst in the industry and guess what else has just surfaced???????????
It was announced yesterday the head of the federal board,Mineral/?? board that oversees the industry has been fired........Seems fed regualtions say these rigs are supposed to be inspected every 4 months to see they are operating within federal guidelines.......guess what???? the last inspection on record for this rig was in 2007 and it was an incomplete inspection!!!!!!!!!!!! Seems our own federal agencys can't do their job either. These companies knowing how incompetent the feds are do whatever they want to do,as in cut corners and safety violations up the wazooo.......
It was the "perfect storm", all the pieces fell in place in the exact order and now we have a large mess on our hands......

I haven't watched 60 minutes in 15-20 yrs. I'm surprised they are still on the air. They were caught in outright lies and blatently missleading and twisting stories more than once. Remember the using accelerants to get a Chevy trucks fuel tank to burn. Why should we believe media hype?

I remember as a kid all the family watching 60 Minutes together every week, as Dan Rather was "the man",I haven't watched it in years,as far as I'm concerned, they have NO credibility with me........
