You are correct, and the exception is it wasn't at 5000ft. which makes this uncharted territory.
I find interesting that people's attitude towards BP, like they don't care that they lost multi-billion dollar rig and likely billions more in oil lost. I'm not saying they don't have a responsibility in it, but I assure you they want it stopped and contained as much, or more than anyone.
Plus, we all have a small part of the blame because we continue to use oil like its going out of style, which forces oil companies to drill in much more riskier and dangerous places. So maybe this will clue some people in that we need to start utilizing other forms of energy in a hurry.
