You're helping to make my point, Kimba. There have been no other accidents, outside of this one, and this one can easily be argued, would have either not happened, or have been capped in a matter of days, if not hours, if it had happened in shallow waters. And what day are we on now?? This "perceived risk" is not anything being perceived by the oil companies, and are largely a manifestation of pro-enviromental hysteria, MINUS any actual valid examples of such.
And again is why they're HAVING to drill in water so deep, vs choosing to drill in water much more financially & logistically compatible, not to mention actually safer for both human & enviroment, vs perceived
