Your blogger

When Roger West first launched the progressive political blog "News From The Other Side" in May 2010, he could hardly have predicted the impact that his venture would have on the media and political debate. As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism. Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

BP 91 Days in




Why is that we are now 91 days into this fiasco and we are still letting BP lead our hand? As a engineer I tell you that this seep that now exists should have been known as this cap is like you placing your hand over your garden hose at your home with spiget fully open, only the pressure 1 mile below sea is much greater than your garden hose and its probably a good stab that your house pipes and garden hose didnt take the brunt of 100 mega ton bomb either. The stress fractures these "Single... See More walled pipes" took (yes president GW omiited data from reports and this allowed BP to drill and assemble oil pipes with single wall not the 2 and 3 required by standard, yes all this 3 months prior to the tool or baffoon leaving office) was so incredible that its only logical that this capped well will loss pressure due to stress factures throught the miles of incorrect piping! Structual integrity is what we are looking for here and I just can't beleive that the current systems has much left!

Second - even if the cap should hold this is not the kill the well needs to stop completely! This is what the 2 relief wells are for and we learned in earlier discussions that this is like hitting a dinner plate from 5 miles away and statistics show it will be 10 15 attempts to kill the well in this fashion

As a engineer I ask why wasnt this type of cap standing in some property just ashore so as we could have capped this with in a week instead of ninety days! Unacceptable business practice and ethics! If you cant create a "Risk Assessment" document to mitigate fubars then Mr. CEO you should see prison time and your BS to this point deems your business be disbanded for ever.
