The BBC recently reported that the United States issued a slamming smack down to BP oil spill. They called it the worst oil spill in US history, BP had poor leadership and truly without a doubt, a poor cement job by BP and its contractors.
They did it!
BP was “ultimately responsible” for rig safety, with Transocean responsible for safe operations and worker safety. BP tried to save time and money at the cost of safety, and Transocean operated normally despite the hazards, it said.
BP oil spill disasterRight.. Look here is the memo on this situation. To avoid a coverup, BP admitted fault but only to an extent. The EPA also insisted on dispersants too so I don’t really know if it’s just BP or a collaborated cluster..

Issued a report by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement and the US Coast Guard Joint Investigation Team. For it echoes previous reports in concluding that multiple factors contributed to the disaster.
