Dividends, they bloody well better pay, bonuses, they bloody well better not. :lol::lol:
Yup. They'll pay what was earned in the quarter prior to the incident and then cut and run. Dollars to donuts says BP ends up being another govt liability like GM.
BP Refuses to Allow Scientists to Test Oil Spill Samples

'Scientists in Florida are concerned that large plumes of oil floating beneath the surface in the Gulf of Mexico originated from the Deepwater Horizon spill, and want to test their samples against oil collected by BP. But the oil corporation is refusing to cooperate.'

BP Official Admits to Damage BENEATH THE SEA FLOOR
Tags:
The evidence is growing stronger and stronger that there is substantial damage beneath the sea floor. Indeed, it appears that BP officials themselves have admitted to such damage. This has enormous impacts on both the amount of oil leaking into the Gulf, and the prospects for quickly stopping the leak this summer.

BP wasn't the only one on site, and make no mistake, I am not an apologist for BP, however, my point is that there was more than one group involved.
I find it quite interesting that BP is solely on the hook for this.
BP is the main company that coordinated all the other companies who had parts building the well, if and when the dust settles all companies involved will pay. The public will not let them get away with it.
I think it would take a fairly big tampax. :smile:
Crazylady- Were you here before under another "nom de plume"? Your style looks familiar. :lol::lol::lol:
Nope sorry not I said the blind lady....no really never seen page till today. That's what happens when u work nights kids in school...I tend to surf the waves of the web.
Its not surprising: the owner of a project is usually the one held liable for damages their project causes unless a contractor is found to be negligent in performing their duties. As for the theory of this being a cement job gone wrong, its a nice story but it still doesn't absolve BP: their engineering people would have designed or at the very least approved and signed off on the activities that Halliburton carried out in their well. Blaming Halliburton or the company that they leased the rig from is a blame deflection tactic, nothing more: they still haven't got the message that the best thing they can do to defuse the anger is to clean up their mess and make things right to the people their mess affected.
One of the Guys I work with was telling me this morning that after the failed
attempts to cap that well, that BP has another idea to try out.
He say's they'll design a ring out of gold to encircle that jaggedly broken pipe,
and that they'll drop that over the broken pipe, without interrupting it's flow so
that the well's pressure won't be an issue to the rings installation.
Once this "wedding" ring is in place, the well is expected to stop putting out
on its own in very short order.

lol that has worked in the past in a majority of cases :lol: but this bitch seems to like putting out.........

Gulf of Mexico oil spill is flowing at a rate of up to 2.52 million gallons a day, scientists say

Scientists provided a new estimate for the amount of oil gushing from the ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday that indicates it could be leaking up to 2.52 million gallons of crude a day.

Empty suit makes another empty promise. Not one mention of when.
Obama: 'We Will Make BP Pay for Its Recklessness'
President Obama, in the first televised Oval Office message of his presidency, sought to quell rising anger over his response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico by saying he will demand that BP's chairman set aside whatever money is needed to compensate those who have been harmed by the company's "recklessness."
"We will make BP pay for the damage their company has caused," Obama said in an 18-minute speech. "And we will do whatever's necessary to help the Gulf Coast and its people recover from this tragedy."

BP exec has just agreed to set up an escrow fund in the amount of $20 billion as was requested by President Obama.
Meanwhile, BP clean-up crews have been caught on tape trampling the nests of Brown Pelicans - breaking eggs and killing chicks - and the carnage continues.

ya know, more and more, some of the statements, language, and posturing coming out of the US government, lead me to suspect the US just may get a national oil company out of this one. I could foresee BP's assets on US coasts and land being seized as punishment and payment for this.
Dividends are simply a sharing of the profits. If there are no profits, there is nothing saying companies have to pay dividends.
Except I don't think the public will support their gov't bailing out BP. It seems to me a lot of the public was iffy about GM bailouts.
Pampers might be a better choice. They're designed to absorb more fluids as well as to contain chunks.
Yeah. It's why I posted a link supporting your comment.
A bit. If BP finds that it is unduly held responsible in some way, there's nothing stopping it from launching a counter-suit or something, though.
Hence my comment about counter-suits.
huh?
I really find it stupid that these newsmedia do not provide sources for their articles. Which scientists made this new estimate?
Interesting idea. I think you might be right. The public may be more in tune with the idea of a national oil company over bailing one out.
Heard on the news a few days ago there was $4 billion+ profits in the last quarter alone. These are working people's pensions.
Again, I will remind you that the first quarter profit of BP was $6 billion and change, not $4 billion and change. This is the second quarter for BP and I really doubt that any profit will be realised after BP just finished agreeing to Obama's demand for a $20 billion cleanup and compensation tab and the market shares for BP have taken quite a tumble.
I had the recollection of someone correcting me on the $4 billion but couldn't remember what the actual figure was so to be correct I added the "+". :lol::lol:
