when you read peter's book, you will understand why the gulf of mexico is a natural wonder and a national treasure. because he takes you there. when you read peter's book, you will understand why the mississippi delta is the cradle of the gulf, the foundation of life and the great nursery of the sea. because peter guides you through it. most of all, though, when you read peter's book, you will hear the voices of the gulf through the people who live there, the people who make their living in its waters, the people who call this special region their home. because peter will introduce them to you and then let them tell you why they and we and all of us together have come to find ourselves in deep water. ladies and gentlemen, peter lehner. [applause] >> thank you. and for those there, there's some more room if you want to crowd in over there, maybe hear a little better. but welcome. and thank you, bob, for that great introduction. the really great news for all of you that read the book is that you will also hear the voice of bob deans without whom this book would not have happened and who has

but in july 2005, hurricane dennis swirled over the gulf of mexico. the rig's celebrity would be short lived. thunder horse toppled over. >> this was a state-of-the-art rig which had cost bp billions of dollars to design and build, and it looked like it was going to sink. it was very embarrassing. >> narrator: after an investigation, bp discovered that the storm wasn't the problem. >> that, in itself, shouldn't have been disastrous. it turns out that bp engineers had incorrectly installed a number of valves that are meant to control the flow of water in the supports that keep the rig afloat. and the rig, as a result, took on water instead of shedding it. >> narrator: a senior engineer on the thunder horse project agrees it was human error. >> the storm is not really the cause of why that thing almost flipped. it's because the check valve was installed backwards, okay? and all that was probably caused by being in a hurry and not dotting their is and crossing their ts, in this case. >> narrator: the platform became one more big black eye for bp. >> you h

millions of barrels of oil poured into the gulf of mexico. it led to the worst environmental disaster in u.s. history. b.p. has been widely criticized since. they, and other companies involved in drilling the well accused of putting money ahead of safety. an oil spill commission set up by the white house in the aftermath is challenging those allegations. >> people have said people traded safety for dollars. we studied the hell out of this. we welcome anybody that gives us something we've missed, but we don't see a person or three people sitting there at a table considering safety and cost and giving up safety for cost. we have not seen that. you have to be sure you understand that. >> criticism has come, in part, from decisions made about the design of the b.p. well. b.p. has carried out its own internal investigation. its report assigning much of the blame for the accident to its drilling partners. overall, the commission says it agrees with most of the findings, but its chief investigator has emphasized that not everything done on the rig wa

the companies involved in the gulf of mexico oil spill had the culture of and safety.the first major interview since leaving the white house, george w. bush has defended the use of waterboarding saying it helped stop terrorist attacks in america and here in britain. speaking to publicists, he said he was told that the technique was legal. >> his was a tumultuous present say. now george w. bush has broken his silence. -- his was a tumultuous presidency. now george w. bush has broken his silence. the accusation that he authorized torture, waterboarding was used in the interrogation of terrorist suspects. it is the feeling of suffocation and drowning. he writes that he was assured it was not torture and it was legal and right. >> you used this technique on three people. we gained valuable information to protect the country. it was the right thing to do as far as i'm concerned. >> if asked if kalid schick muhammed should be waterboarded, the president replied, " damn right." he repeats his claim that information from waterboarding helped prevent attacks in the u.k. >> he d

the decision to implement a six-month moratorium on deep water drilling in the gulf of mexico was correctlyed on the need for adequate spill response, well contamement and safety measures and we stand behind that. we have no way of know whag the motivation was for making that edit. was it just an innocent mistake? that's entirely possible. it's also possible that whoever made the edit wanted people to believe that scientists backed the moratorium. this isn't the first time the white house has been accused of over selling the position on the spill, and changing facts n august, carol browner was discussing a government report on the spill and claimed the majority of the oil was gone. >> we launched the largest response in the history of our country. we had nearly 7,000 vessels, more than 40,000 people working to clean this up, to capture it, to skim it, to burn it and that's why the vast majority of the oil is gone. in terms of what's left, it will continue to weather in the ocean, if it comes ashore, obviously it can be cleaned up, the tar balls, the sheens, but certainly we're seeing far le

rule, both in the gulf of mexico and in the arctic. now we have pursued the changes while managing hundreds of loyal and committed public servants, many of whom have been in the agency for 20 years or more, through a crisis, the likes of which none of them had ever experienced before. and who it's fair to say have been deeply and profoundly shaken by the unrelenting and in many ways, unfair criticism that they have received. now there are great challenges that face the country with respect to offshore oil and gas drilling. those challenges can't be minimized because they are substantial and they are difficult. let me summarize briefly several of the most significant challenges that i see for the development and regulation of oil and gas resources. issues that we confront every day and are the context for your work as well as for our reform agenda. first, to achieve the appropriate balance between ensuring that new safety environment standards are strictly adhered to my industry, and at the same time, expediting the prompt process of per

the former chief executive has been telling the bbc that dealing with the gulf of mexico spill took the company close to financial meltdown. he confesses that the firm was not prepared for the media frenzy or the fallout of the disaster. he does not believe that he has been made a scapegoat. >> a calamitous explosion on the deep water rise in rates in the gulf of mexico triggered an unprecedented crisis for british petroleum. -- a clematis explosion on the deep water horizon rig. some of the comments by jay-z chief executive made people angry. -- some of the comments by the chief executive made people angry. >> i would like my life back. >> he has defended his actions and his first interview since he was let go. >> we tried to be open and transparent and gave access to the operation. the reality is that we were completely unprepared to deal with the intensity of the media scrutiny. >> the white house had accused bp of recklessness and in june, mr. hayward faced an uncomfortable grilling at a meeting in washington. he regrets the lives lost in the explosion. >> i was and i remain devasta

the companies that are operating in the deep water gulf of mexico are headquartered -- headquartered n new orleans, houston, around the gulf coast are geographically where ever the rig i in the deep water gulf of mexico is geographically a remote operation. that's important. so things that are being done out there are being done remotely geographically. as even more important to that, if we go to the next life. this is macondo, and prevent what macondo is that it's not a dot, a platform on the suface of the ocean. if we start the animation, which i can do with this laser by pointing there. macondo, as a welcome and all these deep water wells that are like that, 5000 feet of water. and the stuff that we are really interested in is right down there. we talked about drilling. geologist and geophysicists are not interested in going. they are interested in having a hole in the ground to access resources that in this case our 18,000 feet below the surface. and this is what's constructed in order to give it. everything that matters, from a geoscience perspective, from a resource perspective

and they didn't pay any attention to it and i think that's a big result of what happened in the gulf of mexicoot one that should -- thinks we should take these things lightly. whether it was manipulated, probably is a strong word to use right now. but there certainly is some sort of conflict as to what they had. maybe it was hastily done, i don't know. but i didn't ever like the moratorium from the get go and i'm a believer in sound science and it should be used very, very carefully. >> you're using that word manipulation, i want to ask you about that. because basically what happened it seems, the sentence which said that, you know, the scientists had approved of all the things in this report, it was moved to be right after the sentence that talked about there should be a moratorium and it seemed to anybody who was reading it, it was implying that these scientists had agreed that there should be a moratorium when in fact it was basically just saying that scientists agreed with other facts in the thing, nothing about the moratorium. are you saying that you believe it was intentionally put there

for the moment i'll be back with another update for you very shortly in the meantime the gulf of mexico oil spill was one of the worst environmental disasters the world the scene hundreds of millions of gallons of oil spewed into the water following an oil rig explosion now coverage of the disaster has virtually disappeared from america's press however bob who wrote a book called the catastrophe told r.t. that nothing has changed with industry regulation and the problems are still lurking that's our special interview next. six months ago the worst environmental disaster took place in the us a b.p. oil spill unleashing more than two hundred million gallons of oil into the gulf coast how could this disaster have been prevented and why has this story fallen from the front pages joining me now to talk more about this topic is bob cavanaugh our author of disaster on the horizon and c o of a look at technologies thank you very much for sitting down to speak with r.t. happy to be here mr cavanaugh are you say that the b.p. oil spill was not an accident it was a tragedy that didn't have to happ

six months after the oil spill in the gulf of mexico b.p. is selling its assets to cover the cost of the disaster meanwhile the u.s. reports its federal waters are once again open for fishing and what america claims to be one of the most promising signs of environmental recovery however. who wrote a book on the catastrophe is not so optimistic. with the oil industry inside. six months ago the worst environmental disaster took place in the u.s. the b.p. oil spill unleashing more than two hundred million gallons of oil into the gulf coast how could this disaster have been prevented and why has this story fallen from the front pages joining me now to talk more about this topic is bob cavanaugh our author of disaster on the horizon and c o of a look at technologies thank you very much for sitting down to speak with r.t. happy to be here mr cavanaugh are you say that the b.p. oil spill was not an accident it was a tragedy that didn't have to happen why did it happen the problem with the industry has and has had for years is that is essentially bee

obviously, that must be a regulation that doesn't apply in the gulf of mexico. do you think that would be helpful, that kind of thing. not necessarily just the overbalance, but that kind of additional requirement by government to put additional pressure on the industry to be able to assure the safety when these wells get closed down? this. >> i think there's a balancing point. i think that some of the mms regulations, i'm sorry, i'm still stuck in the old terminology here. i'm not even sure i know the new acronym for the agency. [laughter] their regulations, i feel, are inadequately specific both in definition of the intent of some of them, but more importantly, in their continuous use of qualifications where they say or as the operator in their best judgment decides. an example is maximum anticipated surface pressure. it says you have to bring us a casing design and show us what the maximum anticipated surface pressure is, and then it never says anything about how you calculate the maximum anticipated surface pressure. and there are an innumerable array of assum

oil spill in the gulf of mexico and if we stop and look at that for a second that oil spill actually a lot of scientists worry about it because it has not just damage the environment in the gulf of mexico it has affected some say it has affected the so-called loop current which is an intrinsic part of the gulf stream it's it's a small but very warm current which goes from cuba goes up to florida washington down to florida and goes up the eastern coast of the united states and basically keeps the eastern occur coast of the united states war and like i said it's also part of the gulf stream current and of course if that loop current is affected it's going to affect the gulf stream and of the gulf stream is affected we're not talking about extreme weather conditions just in the united states but also in europe as well and of course there are some scientists who are blaming it all on solar energy saying the solar energy is it's as it is it's peak right now but others are saying that actually that the cast past two years ago so we should leave the sun alone and focus on other sayings and o

oil spill and same with that effect in the gulf of mexico in the gulf stream but the b.p. effect is now affecting whether what you say about that it seems like they're perhaps clutching at straws here. well those are there of course there are accidents in the catastrophic which happened there's a pretty is a very severe environmental disaster but it has nothing to do with their climate change so far and the reason the scientist said it it's not that they said it's actually leaked they said it may be linked and the reason for that is that if you were spiel say billions of barrels of oil. there would actually in fact they were peroration of the weather or the water that would cause it drop in the central european part of russia but that amount of for oil was not there. it was not that much on the surface it was mostly in the deep so the. gulf stream ever peroration parts and it was not a factor so there is no link between what we see now and their accident in the gulf of mexico and you go to just in the head of the world wildlife fund in russia live for us in moscow thank you
