Very interesting forum discussing the technical details of the Deepwater Horizon incident:

Good discussion by people with inside knowledge of the industry. Also, many replies contain links to other informative sites.

I don't know if the link to the interview is up yet, but on this morning's show they played snippets of it and the guy talking was saying that the US is the only country that did not require BP to use the delay swith (not the right name) which was a $500,000 cost to a company making billions. That would have prevented this.

Two weeks ago, 60 minutes interviewed one of the survivors. He was in a management position (electrical related) and explained exactly what happened on the Deepwater Horizon in the days and hours leading up to the explosion..

It was an interesting interview and one you should see if you are interested in what happened.
