well, you flip a bic when it's at the surface. it's in the bureaurat plan which the bureaucrats failed to follow.

now here's a few questions for you. why did the bureaucrats give waivers so the BP rig wouldn't require normal inspections. why did they give the rig a safety award? were they high? I know, let's ignore all that and bash the private sector. the important thing about idiot government people who've never accomplished anything in their entire lives is that their hearts are in the right place. right, dummy?
