Bill White, former mayor of Houston and current Democratic candidate for Governor of Texas, posted the following on Facebook:
Bill White - Some questions for BP: (1) did they allow something to impede the blowout preventer (its like a valve with a ram, or sliding door, which should be able to close unless some steel tool got in the way)? (2) what did the pressure detectors show before they opened the hole? (3) did the experienced toolpusher leave and some VIPs distract rig personnel around the time of the blowout?
Seems there's a few knowledgeable people who are doing a little detective work and starting to ask British Petrolium some embarrassing questions. And BP's silence is the worst response possible. I wonder how long it's going to take them to realize that? It's just getting worse the longer they take. And now Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has made public criticisms of their responses. It's only going to get worse.
