BP as in Blowout Preventor, thats where the failure took place. Had it worked as designed there would have been no spill ot leakage.

The above is an untrue statement.

I don’t think the blowout preventer was designed to withstand the torque of a million pounds of pipe falling over.

Remembering the concensus was the blowout preventor’s one working hydraulic ram tried to pinch a coupling which would not crush.

From reputations, Haliburton is way ahead of BP regading corner cutting. They are unlikely to be able to pin this on Haliburton.
