What is undoubtedly true is that we did not have the tools you would want in your tool kit.
BP CEO Tony Hayward • Regarding his company’s lack of plan to take care of the massive oil spill that happened on their watch. While there has been some good news today – they managed to cut that pipe, which may allow them to further limit the damage caused by the spill – the fact of the matter is that they didn’t have a plan. Sure, they had tools ready to take care of an Exxon Valdez-like situation, but they had no plan for any sort of trouble below the surface. Hayward calls it “an entirely fair criticism.” We call it downright unbelievable. source
“It is indeed BP’s responsibility to deal with this and we’re dealing with it,” says CEO Tony Hayward on the massive cleanup in the Gulf of Mexico. Good to hear he agrees.
