Watch CBS News Videos Online This 60 Minutes segment broadcast last Sunday evening sickens me as I'm sure it did the millions of other Americans who viewed it! This disaster can be attributed to one thing, GREED! The greed of Americans for oil to power their autos and the greed of BP managers to ignore damage to the Transocean Deepwater Horizon drilling rig's Blowout Prevention (BOP) equipment! BP's blatant disregard for safety is criminal and I hope that the people who are responsible will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law! They are guilty of manslaughter (11 dead crew members) and they are also guilty of 'Crimes Against Humanity'! These people must be sentenced to long terms in prison if we are going to avoid these sorts of pitfalls in the future. I wonder how long it will be before President Obama steps in and directs a team of NASA scientists and other deep water drilling experts to initiate a plan to cap it! BP has proven its incompetency in the matter and if we're depending upon them to come up with a solution, we're going to get screwed!
