"And if (did you mean "in"?) a world of roughnecks that have to cheat to pass a UA know that, I wonder how that would escape British Petroleum and TransOcean
Anyway, it's a great point, and consistent with my experience in manufacturing and even in software sales. Everybody gets high. Why would mining be any different?
And I have no experience to question what you say about blowout preventers and taking a gas kick, plus it stands to reason (otherwise I would have expected every oil rig in the past 100 years to blow up :-), but there is *something* that I think has to do with Cheney, and to a lesser extent, the present MMS, and that is the very possibility of a "general waiver" to environmental regulations.

SOP is to have a lot of rubber "boom" ON HAND on oil rigs, and without the "general waiver" that Cheney created, they would have been on the Deepwater Horizon and onshore at BP facilities in the Gulf, ready to deploy at a moment's notice, which would have contained this spill tens of miles offshore from any of the barrier islands, where oil is now being found.
Cheney created the option of corporations writing their own environmental impact assessments and so far nobody has reversed that INSANE practice.
