It's the severity of this scenario that's made the thought of it impossible.
From cementing, to the BOP, 3 different safety devices failing, the sinking of the rig, first no leak, then multiple leaks (streams/gushers..whatever you want to call them), needing a bigger, modified containment dome fabricated, running into crystaling problems with the dome, bad weather...I could go on and on. I've never seen another situation where so much has gone so wrong in such a short time span.

I chose my words poorly there. I should have never used impossible. Inprobable would be a better word.
Every time something goes wrong, we come up with a policy to change it and try to prevent it from happening again. When all the information comes out about exactly what went wrong, and why it went wrong, there will be some very strict, new regulations that we will follow.

The fact that the levees busted
dont you think the levees busting in N.O. was inprobable? Thats the only analogy I am making is that in these two situations, you can plan all your life for something, but then something really unforseen happens and blows any planning to hell and back.
