Or maybe calmer heads will prevail and instead of looking for
excuses to create new boondoggles or axe the blameless, they'll
figure out what went wrong and fix the design of the BOP so that it
doesn't happen again.

I'm a cynic. As long as the BOP gadgets are mechanical, a large
enough explosion will render them useless. Redundancy can only be
carried to the nth degree.


The explosion was a mile away from the BOP.

As I understood it, there was a pressure anomaly from the well that caused
the explosion. The visible part may have been above water, but I really
thought the main event was at the well head. Maybe I'm wrong.
