Wow, what a coincidence! An oil spill of about 400 tons of crude oil occurred recently in Singapore, S.E. Asia - June 2024 and it was the 1st time the oil slick wasn't able to be contained fast enough, spreading and was washed ashore, staining the small city-state's coastlines and seashores. What horrendous environmental disasters!

These BP people obviously had no idea of the scope of what they allowed to happen. It wasn't just business, it wasn't just political, it really was people's lives and homes. These men are so delusional.

I hope the company BP has paid for all the damage it has done to our environment over here in the USA, and replaced the rusted out oil pipes in Alaska like they said they would and cleaned up that oily black mess that was made in the Gulf Mexico. Personally, the company should not be able to operate anywhere in the USA until they really have shown the company has changed and is up grading to the safety standards of goals the company had set for its self.

The former ceo in this video is so smug, as if BP should be given special treatment... you can tell he doesnt care about lifes lost, fishing destroyed and long term damage to environment.

Carville has zero credibility on any issue - it was a mistake to include him in this documentary.
