That was it - There was youtube video of the one man I referred to that I cannot seem to locate. Very telling indeed.

Was all but encouraged when government pressured the oil industry to seek domestic oil sources in deeper water in the name of a mythical 'energy independence'. Attitude that encouraged failures came from the highest levels of corporation management where 85% of all problems originate.
It was not just 'energy independence', it was also the environmentalists and the NIMB crowd. They were more concerned with the view from their private beaches.
