Until there is an independent public enquiry (some hope), nobody knows what this American crew did on this American made rig to cause the blow-out which was not stopped by the faulty American made blow-out preventer, whilst drilling in a non PB preferred area insisted on by the American regulators, but lets look at it this way:
Because of the 3000 or so innocent women and children killed by American funded IRA terrorism in Britain over forty years, at the time of 7-11 most fair-minded Brits observed the justice in the fact that America had simply ‘got one back’. Now in so many places that America has left irreversibly polluted like The Niger Delta, Bhopal, a lot of the South American coast and so many other places, perhaps the rest of the world is now saying that America has simply ‘got one back’.
America should be paid exactly what it has given for clearup in the rest of the world i.e. $0.
