So, was there ever a disaster plan for a situation like this?

I passed by the BP office on Hwy 311 while coming back into Houma with the RV. That place is ridiculous with at least 500 vehicles in the parking lot. That place must be a mad house inside. Had a few TV crew trailers set up outside.

BP better hope that the formation collapses or the casing collapses soon.

Obviously not. It's a damn shame.
It appears that no one ever had a plan for anything like this, which makes me wonder why we were allowing people to drill that deep in the first place.

Having been a part of pre-job planning, I can state that they plan for just about everything.
Do I think they planned for this exact situation? Of course not. But I bet they planned for each one individually, or paired with one other problem, but not for the shite storm to hit the fan this bad.
Think of it as the "perfect storm" to hit an oil rig. And not to mention that nearly all of the plans they've gone with, haven't worked out because of the severity of the complications.
They didn't just build a $400 million dollar facility, and then start drilling. These projects take months to get approval for, in many different places.
MMS has to approve of your rig move plan, they have to approve of your prog to drill the well, how you're going to drill it. It takes months just to get the ball rolling for permits.
Nobody could have planned for all this. It's impossible. Saying they don't know what they are doing is just regurgitating what the idiots in the media are telling you.

i'm just a simple man with a simple thought. when your dealing with mother nature, our planet, and all it's possibilities, (from hurricanes, volcano's, earthquakes, oil, coal, heat, droughts, sea's, ice ages, ect.) you can plan all you want. there isn't a plan that works. disasters happen and nothing man can do about it.
you're dealing with an issue 5000 feet below sea water. man know's very little about the environment in this area.
something like this has never happened before. how are you going to plan for the unknown? what can you create to fight against an unknown environment that's 5000 feet below sea level?
