Here is why:
-I watched a news clip that was nothing more than a vicious, ill-informed attack on my former colleagues. The piece was totally unprofessional.
-I’ve read too much commentary from folks who already know what is wrong with the operator, drilling contractor, regulator, equipment manufacturers, spill responders, and everything else associated in any way with this tragic incident.
So I’m taking a self-imposed timeout while I calm down. I’ll be commenting publicly on Tuesday.
Good luck Bud. Your colleagues at the MMS deserve a round of applause for their hard work and balance of safety, environment as well as production that they continue to manage on the OCS.
My prayers are with you, your colleagues, and the family & friends of the Horizon Team. We need BP, Transocean, MMS and the USCG to succeed in capping this well.
