He wasn't taking down Anonymous, nor could he. Nothing "Goes Wrong" really. In fact, EVERYTHING went right splendidly for Anonymous.

Watching the long trail of vulnerabilities he left behind, he likely couldn't even take down an amatuer teen hacker wannabe if he tried without getting his own ass served on a plate.

The title could be "When an incompetent, arrogant & greedy nincompoop gets his just rewards."

Around 50-52 minute mark you can predict what would happen during the crash. Bankruptcy due to job loss, health problems, or family problems (death/whatever). A lot of people lost their jobs, we've seen the long discussions about outrageously expensive insurance and health care costs, etc.

What I took away from it is that it's not possible to middle class in the US and stay out of debt unless nothing goes wrong. Versus in the past a similar middle class family could survive job loss, health problems, and deaths in the family financially because while they made less, fixed costs were lower and they had more flexibility to cut back and still meet their fixed cost demands.

She also made the point that more families with children will go through bankruptcy than will get divorced, but that they could hide it successfully with excuses of moving into a parent's house due to parent's failing health or moving out of the area for job opportunities elsewhere, etc. So the likelihood if you knowing someone who has went through bankruptcy seems pretty high considering how many divorces you see on a yearly basis.

Sounds like someone is attempting to shift blame from the myriad of other problems. I can understand looking into this to see how it could have been handled better, but blaming anyone for possibly damaging/sinking a burning structure....and one that is so fully engulfed in flames that multiple boats aren't able to extinguish it in the process.....is nuts. Unless those people got on board this oil rig and started the fire in the first place, I don't see the point of trying to shift attention onto their efforts to put it out as a bad thing.

The alternative to let it burn itself out would have resulted and just as likely may have resulted in this rig sinking due to temperatures causing metals to fatigue/warp and other things just simply explode from having massive temperature changes due to the fueled fire taking place on much cooler water.

The only thing this investigation could possibly benefit from is that it may allow them to stand a chance to extinguish fires like this in the future, but it looks to me like there's a bit of a campaign here going to try to blame the Coast Guard for BPs failures to take the time to properly close off a well resulting in much more than just a burned up rig but the deaths of people, and the resulting oil spill killing off countless wildlife and creating potential (more likely than not in my opinion) long term health problems for everyone exposed.

And there is the underlying problem of the government regulations being too lax when it comes to oil drilling where as other countries require relief wells to be in place before disaster strikes. Non-existent oversight.......no requirement for oil cleanup R&D.......just a policy of make as much money as you can off government contracts and hope nothing goes wrong so people won't look at hard at all of us.

The coast guard is featured in a much better light on shows like "The Biggest Catch" where a boat has catastrophic failures and these guys have to go out to save their asses from a fiery, freezing, drowning, etc death. Or when they have their specials and show the coast guard and such rescuing people from rooftops after hurricane Katrina and developing new techniques on the spot to be taught as part of the training after it's all over.

Blaming the coast guard is just an attempt to shift blame off BP and regulations committees/politicians in bed with them. It's akin to blaming the police department for 9/11 or the fire department for being unable to deal with large radioactive contamination. Who expects some crazy bastards to create the conditions for catastrophic failures and not let anyone know what the hell they did before it's too late to act on it? Some do, but you'll run out of funds trying to prepare for everything and you'll go crazy trying to predict them all. So you do the best you can and punish the people who CAUSED the problem, not the people who were unawares of it until it's exploding in their face. That's just ass backwards.

This should be what Obama's Manhattan Project/man on the moon project should be. I think is doable in less than ten years if people wanted to make it happen.

Not going to happen. The US is already involved in the ITER project and the earliest prediction for ITER is a commercial reactor by 2050. And that's IF nothing goes wrong.

Current research is still working towards achieving net gain, which is a far cry from practical fusion power. People have been promising fusion power "soon" since the 70s. The fact is we're not even close to starting research on commercial fusion, and we don't know if a practical fusion plant is even possible.

Our energy needs grows exponentially, and when and IF fusion power becomes available, it will already be too late. We NEED research on renewable fuels and alternative energy such as solar power to bridge that gap, and putting our hopes on a hail mary like fusion is only an invitation to disaster.

Oh and, NOTHING goes wrong in China, how dare you imply otherwise:

Their censorship makes me sick.

Wow, a bit frightening to consider that you're all alone (in that building), far from anywhere, during that. Better hope nothing goes wrong. She's sure enthusiastic about it.
