Was the Gulf Oil Rig Explosion a Deliberate Attack on America?

We will never hear many of the stories, not all American residents are American Patriots.

......And if only one plane had crashed into that building it could have been called an accident.........

If this wasn't absolutely thrilling the enviroweenies to pieces I might think it was an accident. They are jumping up and down with joy shouting “we told you so we told you so”.

My father was born in ‘34 and used to ride “horsey” on this man’s knee as a toddler. Shock is an understatement when it was discovered he was the spy responsible for the deaths of hundreds of merchant marines.

The timing just seems too perfect.

You can't judge a book by it's cover.

I've been corresponding with and talking cameras to a guy for years. As soon as Obama moved into the WH the guy came out of the closet as a flaming marxist moonbat.

It would be easier to target a production platform instead of a drilling platform.
Production platform the window of opportunity is always open. With a drilling platform the window is only open for a few hours.
This happened after the cementing of the well. The best sabotage would have been able to accomplish was the sinking of the rig, not an oil spill.

I hope you are right.

Why would they have chosen a British oil company? Wouldn't they have targeted an American oil company like Exxon?

Torpedoes at a depth of 5000 feet to damage the blowout preventer?

Bingo. Not a torpedo. Check your FReepmail.

Bad concrete? I assume that the concrete would be thick enough to seal a bunch of soft rock. 4350 for what cal?

[calex59]

True that, BUT most explosions, in fact all of them I can research so far, have never resulted in the blow out valve failing. Natural gas, BTW, does not explode easily it burns, yes, but it is very difficult for it to explode. There is a lot, including the fact swat teams have been sent to other rigs, that needs explaining and for people to think it might have been sabotage is understandable considering the lefts BS attitude about any energy production.

There could be a number of reasons—a “two birds with one stone” sort of thing.

Either way, the effect on America is still devastating. It was Americans that lost their lives and were injured, and it’s America’s coastline and industries that are affected. It has succeeded in pretty much shutting us down in the Gulf at this point.

Sometimes you will hit a zone it doesn't make any difference what kind of cement you use, the zone will just drink it. The pressure from the production zone will push the cement into this zone and basically there is no cement left to seal the casing.
I don't know enough right now to know where the oil is coming in. Is it coming up through the production casing or is it going around the production casing and coming up through the intermediary string? Don't know.

I've been using 4350 in 30-06, .308, 7X57, and 8X57.

I do a lot of 30-06, 308 and have taken up 50bmg. Got a 458 that I got a brake put on and a 500gr elephant load shoots like a 30-06. Makes it more fun.

50bmg

That's what they want you to think.
