Every single one of those rigs was reinspecting by the Department of the Interior following the BP blowout, and they all passed. If passing government safety inspections following the BP disaster does not make you "safe", then what does?
Reassessing our safety and inspection protocols and making sure they are as through and as redundant as can possibly be, and also to make sure there is a reasonable protocol to deal with another leak should it occur, instead of fumbling around doing crap like shoving golf balls down a hole.
Forgive us all for not having faith in inspection and safety protocols that have already failed massively.
It is going to have a major economic impact on the area, that is just a fact. All of those rigs have since passed safety inspections, that is another fact. I do not feel that another incident like this is likely to occur. Sure it is possible, but what else do you want them to do to get back to work?
More than just your gut feeling on the likelihood of this not occurring again , a bit of investigation and inquiry to assure that anything that can be done to minimize any and all chance of a repeat, it sucks that the jobs are on hold for now, but the situation in the gulf sucks many orders of magnitude worse.
