BP is the operator. Its BPs responsibility to make sure that the worst possible scenario is considered for any given well and to make sure the drilling company is not only aware of it but the equipment used (including and especially the Cameron BOPs) can handle that scenario.

I can guarantee you that BP was on top of what they were doing here. With Billions of dollars on the line the amount of oversight by any major corporation is mind boggling.

That doesn't mean that something unforseen happens, or when the boots hit the ground something is overlooked or a mistake is made.

They were operating I am sure with whatever is usual and customary in the business. If they werent and there was negligence, it will come out.

Regulators may need to step in and change the customary practices by legislation to make it safer, but it was not a bunch of bozos stumbling around in the night. The guys running the show are professionals and are making the best decisions they can with the information they have.

Hindsight is always 20/20
