Please donate! ==================================================== Why BP should be allowed no role in the response to
its disaster Brilliantly
explaining the causes of the horrific 2005 explosion in BP's Texas
City refinery, the first two thirds of this video presents
evidence supporting the conclusion that lethal so-called accidents don't
indicate that BP
managers are
deviating from
BP's operating strategy, but that they are loyally carrying it
out. As shown in Congressman Henry Waxman's letter to BP CEO
Hayward, and the Waxman-Stupak hearings (links to both
here), BP maximizes
profits by systematically violating human and environmental
safety. The
video deteriorates in the last third and ends with a sad attempt to
praise BP as having changed. In 2009, one year after it
was produced, BP got the
largest fines of any company ever for not making
good on ending safety violations at Texas City, and for adding
hundreds of new ones.
