The sailor . . . was on the ship's bridge when Deepwater Horizon installation manager Jimmy Harrell, a top employee of rig owner Transocean, was speaking with someone in Houston via satellite phone. Buzbee told Mother Jones that, according to this witness account, Harrell was screaming, "Are you f***ing happy? Are you f***ng happy? The rig's on fire! I told you this was gonna happen."
Whoever was on the other end of the line was apparently trying to calm Harrell down. "I am f***ing calm," he went on, according to Buzbee. "You realize the rig is burning?"
THIS . . . is the latest from Mother Jones' indispensable coverage of the BPocalypse.
There is no part of hell hot enough for the vile, corner-cutting, avaricious sons of bitches responsible for this thing. And for federal "regulators" whose real business was the business of enabling bad behavior by business?
Their route to les feux d'infer ought to involve being keelhauled through every bit of the oil slick left by their former buddies at BP.
Genocide. Always remember this is the bottom line of what has happened here.
If what passes for civilization in these parts, in these times, is to somehow endure, it's really, really important that consequences fit the crime.
