Rachel Maddow blasted BP COO Doug Suttles Monday night for what she found were highly misleading and inaccurate responses during an interview Suttles gave to NBC's Tom Costello.
Maddow had two main issues with the interview: 1. Suttles' explanation for why BP included animals such as walruses --which are typically not found in the region-- in a list of potentially endangered animals in BP's oil spill plan for the Gulf of Mexico; and 2. Suttles' attempt to defend the lack of technological innovation when it came to responding to spills by arguing that there had been "so few big spills" over the past few decades.
"The events haven't driven the technology change that's out there," Suttles told Costello.
Maddow called Suttles' explanation of the walrus mistake "not even a remotely believable answer." In response to his defense of the technology, she went to a board with a map of the United States on it and ran through a long list of oil spills that had occurred in the 2000s alone. She highlighted over a dozen of them, ranging from Massachusetts to Delaware to Louisiana to Alaska to California to Utah, and contradicting Suttles' claim that there have been too few spills to force the technology to catch up.
God i was so pumped when i saw that their site had subtitles, but i understood NOTHING. Seriously wtf ?
Too bad ppl like me won't understand if they keep making sentences like this blaberish one.
It almost felt like it was some sort of google translation from industry language to common english...
From what i can see, the woman is just taking us like some random serious tilt low monkeys. I.e she's so full of herself.
The only good think is that she mentionned why industries didn't do their job about "safety" but that's all i could understand from the subtitles.
Yeah you'll probably tell me to complaint to the subtiltes makers, not her. But remember this was just my opinion and the way she acts seemed like she tried too hard.
Shin-il : Yeah it was very very very good for me too. Rekrul : YOU MOTHER FUCKING FUCKING SON OF A BITCH

I don't really want to get too far into this but I personally believe that any idea that BP is somehow an impediment to this cleanup is ludicrous. Their incentives are very closely aligned with the people protesting them as pertains to when this mess gets cleaned up.

yo i heard cleaning up oil spills is easy peasy, especially when its gushing from an oil reserve and not a tanker/pipeline. Huge oil sucking machine, LOL.

looking at the post with comments for some reason HTML is a wall of text. If you go back to the original blog post before seeing comments then the videos work
