and halliburton knew and when they knew it. this report makes clear these companies saw red flags signaling trouble and ignored them. five weeks before the deepwater horizon exploded on april 20, b.p. and halliburton knew something was potentially very wrong. that's the damning allegation from government investigators who outline a pattern of failed safety tests and noncommunication. specifically, on march 8, halliburton notified b.p. the cement mix to seal the well failed a critical test for stability. investigators say neither acted upon the data. halliburton and perhaps b.p. should have considered redesigning the mix. instead, b.p. ordered halliburton to seal the well. the cement failed. oil and gas entered the well. the explosion killed 11 workers and more than 200 million gallons leaked into the gulf. this report suggests what one worker's widow maintained-- the disaster was preventable. >> from day one, he deemed this hole a well from hell. >> reporter: in fact, before the explosion, halliburton actually tested the cement

but, bp never knew that because halliburton never told them. critics are outraged. >> bp and halliburton knew that the cement was not going to work. this is like building a car with brakes that you know are going to fail. >> reporter: investigators also independently retested a similar cement formula. it, also, proved unstable. the federal report concludes, bad cement was not the explosion's sole cause but good cement would have prevented it. mark strassmann, cbs news. >> president george w. bush's memoir won't officially be released until the week after the elections but this morning we're learning new details. according to the drudge report president bush said he gave the order to shoot down hijacked airliners 9/11 and at first thought that's what happened to the jet that crashed in pennsylvania and talks about his decision to quit drinking and the decision to invade iraq. >> his presidential role model has been harry truman who left office incredibly unpopular and only decades after he had been out of the white house did history begin to giv

investigators say halliburton then changed the testing protocols and got one good test. those results reported to bp after the explosion. >> if the cement had worked, the disaster would have definitely been avoided. like i said, it's the first line of defense. >> reporter: the presidential commission asked an outside lab run by chevron to run its own test on the cement. shown in these photos. chevron's letter details nine separate tests. chevron reports "we were unable to generate stable foam with any of the tests." former shell oil president john hoffmeister. >> bp makes a choice of what cement job it wants. it's my opinion, this was an effort to rush this job to conclusion. >> reporter: while investigators say the cement job must have failed, they can't yet say whether it was the sole cause of the explosion. representative ed markey is chairing a congressional investigation. >> it is clear that bp and halliburton were more interested in their own bottom line than they were in what was going on at the bottom of the well. >> reporter: halliburton says it's studying today

. >> halliburton co. acknowledged that it skipped a critical test on the final formulation of cement used to seal bp's oil well before it blew out catastrophically in the gulf of mexico. the company came under increased scrutiny when investigators from the president's oil spill commission revealed that tests performed by the company before the deadly blowout showed the cement to be unstable. halliburton said it did not conduct a stability test on the final mix of cement after a last- minute change by bp added more of a certain ingredient. >> see this week, they had a major tornado roll through, watch these two buildings on the right side. this is what tornadoes can do, they can take buildings and throw them like they're tinker toys and it is part of a powerful system that swept across the states those wide buildings on the left, hear what men and there they go. on the next. >> they have run for weather for sure but we do have a storm that we will be tracking so we will have to get more weather and a few m

the concrete was supplied by the company halliburton. we have known for a while the concrete casing must have failed in some way, and now investigators say their own tests show that the concrete mixture was not stable and that halliburton knew it may not be stable but used it anyway to try to secure the well. neither halliburton or bp, said the investigators, acted on data from tests showing that the concrete could be unstable. the oil slick has blighted the gulf of mexico, dennis the local economy, and upset the americans. they say it was not only the concrete's the failure that brought about the disaster, but how britain has already attracted controversy with its relationship with american -- but halliburton has already attracted controversy with his relationship american politicians. these findings will bring more scrutiny. >>> a fresh round of protests and strikes over pension reforms in france have been causing problems for travelers using airports and train services. even though the number of protesters was lower than on previous c

halliburton said it's reviewing the report. while we're talking energy, the largest company in the u.s. by market value, exxon, turned in better than expected results. no surprise that higher energy prices helped it bottom line. shares had a small reaction-- trading up less than 1%. shares continue trading around six-month highs. microsoft climbed 3% in after- hours after reporting solid demand for window's 7 and office suite products in the last quarter. the software giant's profits easily topped the $5 billion mark, or 62 cents per shares. that's seven cents above analysts estimates, thanks to a pick-up in i.t. spending. the latest release of its hit video game "halo" also helped. shares came into the report at their highest level since early august. they were trading as high as $27 a share after the close. if that level holds, that would be a six-month high. one more note from technology-- from optical equipment makers. several took nosedives today when oclaro saw higher costs leading to a big drop in quarterly profits. earn
