However what they aren't reminding you of is that BP made $6,000,000,000 off this one well last year. The clean up efforts will be a fraction of that well. BP is being greedy and is paying to keep the well open! What I want to know is who is getting the kick backs from BP on this disaster cause me and 2 million other people in South LA would love to kick some arse!

Sadam blew the wells up and set them on fire to destroy the oil production and let the oil burn / leak...

The US engineers then used explosives to put out the fire - It starves the fire of oxygen allowing them to cap the wells.

I didn't think that this well was in production it was still being drilled so not sure how they made $6bn from a well that wasn't in production...
