200,000 Gallons A Day

I betcha that's all that will happen.

Unfortunately, you're probably right, if they get that much even.

I feel so bad for all that have been affected, all because of BP's greed and total disregard for the safety of their workers, and even less when it comes to the damage that they have done to this beautiful area of our country that will suffer for many years to come.

Well....they are up against a big corporation.
Can they get together and go a class action against BP ???

The only people who win in a class action are the lawyers.

The cost of goods goes up, the lawyers get rich, and everyone else gets screwed.

Stop with the litigation. Hell, why sue a company that so far is paying for their mistake willingly?

Again, the ONLY people who win in a class action are the lawyers.

You would think even though it is a mile down they could run a huge long plastic pipe down to the leakage site & have pumps to pump the stuff up & out of the water. I don't think the little Dutch Boy can swim & hold his breath that long.

Hurricane season starts tomorrow and that could really complicate
an already bad situation. All this misery to save a few bucks by BP.

This whole mess is a question of "ifs" Nothing like this has ever happened
before. Not an accident at this depth, with so much on the line for the
fisherman, for the animals, for the enviroment,etc,etc.

I wonder what BP was thinking during the risk-benefit analysis meeting
for this project. (if they even had one)

I read that the 9/11 lawyers were trying to settle the case(s)....


A third or more of the money set aside for the workers was expected to go to their lawyers. Some plaintiffs had agreed at the start of the case to give as much as 40 percent of any judgment to cover fees and expenses. That might have meant $200 million or more going to attorneys.

These poor guys dug thru piles of bodies and trash at the site of the WTC and some SOB in an office is going to make money on their P&S?

I guess you have to be good at rifling the pockers of the sick and dying without them knowing?

Morons.

I'm no lawyer, but I imagine they probably could, but BP's lawyers would have it all tied up in litigation for years. A snowball in Hell would stand a better chance than anyone collecting anything, I would think. Of course, BP could just add that into the higher prices at the pumps, too. I'm sure there's already a bunch of biggies in a think tank, already trying to figure out how to minimize their expenses and losses, where they should be seeking out some brainiacs to come up with a surefire way to stop the leak.
