BP was already the #1 violator of environmental regulations even before this happened. They've entered guilty pleas in numerous felony cases and people have died from other explosions on BP facilities. Corner cutting was blamed there as well.They have announced that they are going ahead with 10 billion dollars in executive bonus. These guys have zero shame.I've heard that they could plant explosives (atomic or others) and seal the well by collapsing all the rock, but that would make the well undrillable in the future, and they don't want to lose any potential profits. Has anyone else heard about this?Please keep in mind the filling stations are all franchised, and BP as a company has less and less financial stake in the corner gas station.I'm in no way questioning the need for a boycott of all things BP, but it would suck to be an owner of one of those joints now.FYI: BP makes Castrol Oil, so be sure to avoid that brand.
