THE DEEPWATER HORIZON: SAFETY REGULATIONS ARE WRITTEN IN BLOOD
Episode 174 | Historical Events
In this History episode we focus on the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion — the cement job that failed, the negative pressure test results that were misinterpreted, the blowout preventer that didn't work, and the 87 days that 134 million gallons of oil flowed into the Gulf of Mexico before the well was capped.
Eleven workers killed. No criminal convictions. The safety regulations written afterward were written in their blood.
