Interesting.

So the blame is not really BP rush to get the system and running as media reported but more of a series of failures and some human errors.

I think human errors and series of failures are often brought about by situations exactly like rushing to complete a deadline?

That's when people stop following the checklist/procedure or are overtired and not paying enough attention after a long shift or the third week of overtime.

I'm not referencing this particular situation per se or the blame part, but that's what came to mind when I read your comment.

This was a purely technical analysis. It makes no attempt to address the failures to properly verify the function of the BOP before putting it into use.

I would imagine checking the function of the BOP would be standard procedure after it is built or prior to putting in the field. I don't imagine it was mis-wired on the rig itself. The video seems to say that wouldn't have mattered anyway because the previously unknown problem causing the pipe to buckle.

Sheeeeit, that's some qual-uh-tee narratin'
