The witnesses that are on the list for Wednesday has the potential to provide some insight on the BOP failing to function.
quote:

Wednesday July 21, 2010:

1. Ray Odenwald - Transocean, Subsea Supervisor, providing information on the BOP modifications.

2. Jim McWhorter - Transocean, Subsea Supervisor, providing information on the BOP modifications.

3. Mark Hay - Transocean, Subsea Supervisor, providing information on the BOP modifications.

4. Billy Stringfellow - Transocean, Subsea Superintendent, providing information on the BOP intervention issues.

5. Daun Winslow - Transocean, Division Manager Performance, providing information on stack intervention.

Gulf oil spill: Hearings on BP disaster canceled as witnesses say they won't show

None of the five witnesses called to testify will appear at Wednesday’s hearing of the U.S. Coast Guard-Interior Department probe into what caused the Deepwater Horizon oil rig to explode.

U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Hung Nguyen said the panel was notified shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday that four of the five people set to appear, all employees of Transocean, the owner of the rig, said they had changed their minds and would not appear. A fifth employee, Daun Winslow, had already been rescheduled to appear at hearings scheduled for Aug. 23-27 in Houston.




"Changed their minds"?

If witnesses can just chose not to testify these hearing are totally useless. Why am I not surprised.

Well Well

Up to this point Transocean has been able to escape scrutiny. I hope the media and people are paying attention to these events.
