BP couldn't build one like that.

They don't have the tech.
They just don't care.
It would probably blow up.

Arses!

I hate to defend BP but what they do is actually quite complicated and very other companies can do this.

I no an Oil engineer who designs risers for a living and BP have managed to try things in the last few weeks that would normally take 6-18 months to design, test etc

that said their PR and response hasn't been the best

Interesting news coverage:

BP's most recently submitted Emergency Response Plan, while capable of recovering more oil than the other companies, included "saving the walruses in the Gulf of Mexico" and was written by a scientist who had already been dead for the five years previous. :oops:

Further investigation revealed that except for minor wording changes ALL the major oil companies had submitted, word for word, an identical plan.

Makes you wonder who's minding the henhouse. :)
