What a surprise! The already wealthy- beyond- belief oil company cut the budget to save money, thus putting safety at risk, and it cost FIFTEEN people their lives and untold injury to 170 other people. And you wonder why folks hate the big oil companies or any company that's just in it for the money. Seems all they really care about is greed and the bottom line. This isnt supposed to happen in modern times. This would have been common in the coal mines, oil field, wherever-- of the early days of American industrialization and exploitation of workers one would think had been eradicated. For Shame!
