BP's Alaska Oilfield Plagued By Major Safety Issues
http://www.truth-out.org/documents-employees-reveal-bps-alaska-oilfield-plagued-by-major-safety-issues60470
Cultural Extinction
Jordan Flaherty, Truthout: "As BP's deepwater well continues to discharge oil into the Gulf, the economic and public health effects are already being felt across coastal communities. But it's likely this is only the beginning. From the bayous of southern Louisiana to the city of New Orleans, many fear this disaster represents not only environmental devastation, but also cultural extinction for peoples who have made their lives here for generations."

BP Is a Corporate Criminal
Jim Hightower, Truthout: "Gosh, how quickly things turn. One day, you're a strutting peacock - the next day, you're just another gasping, oil-covered bird. In early April, BP was strutting about in full corporate splendor, showing off the $9 billion in profits that it had soaked up in just the first three months of this year."

Investigation Shows BP Cut Costs Before Blowout
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "House Democrats are asking BP Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward about risky cost-cutting and time-saving measures identified by a Congressional investigation that appear to have increased the risk of a blowout on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico."

Documents reveal BP's missteps before blowout
BP made a series of money-saving shortcuts and blunders that dramatically increased the danger of a destructive oil spill in a well that an engineer ominously described as a "nightmare" just six days before the blowout, according to documents released Monday that provide new insight into the causes of the disaster.

BP has repeatedly promised to pay all ‘legitimate claims’ for loss and damage as a result of the Gulf oil spill, now vying for the title fourth biggest oil spill in history at 2.3 million barrels of crude over the past two months. And that’s exactly as it should be. But how can the company pay off all the claims it faces?
