Thanks for explaining why.
This spill is awful and I was really upset reading about it last night. No pipeline operator in history has ever claimed that their pipe is 100% spill proof though. Just like no airline has ever claimed they are 100% crash proof or any car company has said their vehicle is 100% death proof. Everyone operates within a certain standard of acceptable risk, ie the benefits of going on a european vacation outweigh the risk of death on the transport there.
