Jack, Sounds like you have a heck of a lot more knowledge on that well than you say. Can't blame you. A close relative used to work for the company that deploys the remotes working on the well. I got to see the video of the well head the night the rig sank. This relative said I was probably about #50 to see the video.
If chunks of rubber were coming up in the returns, the hydril must not have released during a test. The need to rework the entire system. Drilling without a working BOP stack is like Russian roulette with all holes loaded and a hair trigger. I am sure they knew they were getting methane hydrate kicks and no one knew exactly how big a problem it was going to be to produce that stuff. USGS (head of MMS) had to know what was causing the problem, and yes!, someones head should roll for not shutting down the rig if the BOP stack wasn't functional.

Jack,
If what you say is true, then BP appears to be guilty of Gross Negligence, willful and wanton disregard. They may well be a walking dead corporation at this very moment. Gross Negligence is a back breaker for a corporation, it opens the flood gates under US tort law. Our local papers might be walking down the primrose path, reporting all of this other stuff. Ed
