Deepwater spills and short attention spans

Mexico's state oil company Pemex spilled more than 140 million gallons into the Gulf in 1979.

But people said, “'this would never happen if an American company was operating.”

Bullshit! It took Pemex three months to drill two relief wells. And that was 150 feet down.

This is a mile down! Oy! Who are they kidding with August? They can't do that by August!
