Re: Procedures in real time

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Hopefully without starting up an off-topic political discussion, it's actually 
the reverse.  There was a great deal that could have done "to prevent the loss 
of life and equipment that occurred at the time of the blow-out," by 
implementing *and following* procedures to prevent the blow-out from happening. 
But it has been evident for decades to anyone who isn't out to make money in the 
oil industry or to curry political favor with the industry's deep pockets that 
once a blow-out occurs a mile beneath the surface of the ocean there isn't a 
damned thing that can be done to "stem its aftermath."

In the case of the BP disaster, it's fairly evident that little could be done to 
prevent the loss of life and equipment that occurred at the time of the blow 
out; but it's not so evident that more couldn't have been done in the days and 
weeks immediately following the incident to help stem its aftermath.
