Biz: BP partly pins oil spill blame on engineers who can’t read

  • Apparently, they misread an April 20 report on the well. Remember this thing and how it used to be in the news every day? Yeah. Anyway, Bloomberg’s reporting that, according to a BP internal investigation, managers on the rig misread a report saying that pressure levels were very high, leading to the Deepwater Horizon’s destruction. Attorneys for BP have also worked on sullying the names of Transocean and Haliburton, which thus far haven’t stuck. source
