"apparently they are not responsible. BP has launched an enquiry to ascertain which one of its suppliers was responsible. When they found out, that supplier would have to pay back BP all the costs they have incurred."

"BP must be hit hard with economic sanctions. A giant corporation will not suffer from the jailing of an individual CEO, nor from punitive damages that would seem exorbitant to most of us. This oil spill will devastate the economies of countless coastal communities and individual fishermen beyond the forseeable future. The penalty for mismanagement resulting in such a catastrophe should equally devastate BP's earnings. Unless BP is made to suffer on a level incident to that of the communities affected by this disaster we will continue to see similar events indefinitely."

"I agree with everyone's opinions, however I also believe that until stricter regulations are put into place that are actually backed up and being monitored on a regular basis and someone is held accountable for making sure the regulations are being monitered, these kinds of accidents will continue to happen. There has to be accountability and transparency that any and all regulations are being held to the highest degree of the regulations put in place. Whose ever or whatever Dept. is responsible for setting up these regulations, OSHA, the Dept. Of Safety Regulations, or whoever the he'll it is, has got a lot of explaining to do because this kind of accident should and could have been prevented if the proper safety procedures and checks had been performed in the right way and someone was held accountable to do their job.

I live along the southeast coast of Florida and in the past few days there has been some tar washed up along the Keys (yet to be deteined if it is from the BP spill), but it seems like quite a coinsidence that this is happening at the same time and there hasn't been any other cause for this to be happening right now. I know all the scientists and weathermen are working hard to figure out how much of a possibility ther is that the spill can be picked ip by what is known as the jet stream loop, which could possibly put the Florida Keys and south Florida coastal shoreline at risk. Whether or not the Keys or South Florida shoreline becomes endangered immediately or not, all of the water foul, fish, etc. will be impacted for years to come.

We must make our voices heard now so that this kind of thing can never happen again. We cannot allow laziness, nor lack of the strictest regulations and accountability go unchecked."
