		<description><![CDATA[It was partially a plumbing fail and partially an operator error.  Someone closed the wrong set of valves, making the deck take on water.  Had the proper valves been closed when the rig was evacuated, it would have been fine.  When people went back out to the rig, it was within a few degrees of sinking.  This after the rig had been held hostage by the fab yard in Korea, because BP wouldn&#039;t pay its bills on the project.

Between this and the Texas City incident, they don&#039;t exactly have the best track record in the industry for safety.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I did have a nasty grammar fail though with the &quot;unless you will inevitable&quot; part though. :/ Had two sentences in my hand and a twisted bastard love child came out.

Thanks though, I try to make sense. When going over the failed marriages and relationships I have seen in my family and friends, I realize that lack of compromise was one of the biggest issues. There was either placation of one or both parties without any kind of resolution found, so eventually things reached a breaking point with hard feelings and sometimes kids left in the middle.

However, some of it was just that some people are jerks and thus nobody sane can live with them.

Damn, I think I need to water down my seriousness before people get the wrong idea and not realize how annoyingly redundant my posts can be.

Here is a response for the ball licking thread in the quickly getting too big Fresh Idea lol in response to respecting you.

&quot;No but my undercarriage could use a fine bit of polishing and you need a full body massage, starting with your feet and working my way up til I am nibbling on your neck...&quot;

Too much?]]></description>

<p>Thanks though, I try to make sense. When going over the failed marriages and relationships I have seen in my family and friends, I realize that lack of compromise was one of the biggest issues. There was either placation of one or both parties without any kind of resolution found, so eventually things reached a breaking point with hard feelings and sometimes kids left in the middle.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s just a name -- likely because &quot;Thunder Horse&quot; sounded huge -- and this is the largest platform of its kind on the planet.  Other names of other BP platforms/projects include &quot;Mad Dog&quot;, &quot;Atlantis&quot;, and &quot;Marlin&quot; -- although, those are all actually the names of the fields/projects, not the platforms themselves.

In any case, the fact that Thunder Horse survived two hurricanes within two months time with NO hull damage makes it a massive win to me.  The fact that it temporarily sank on one side was a simple plumbing fail.  When two hurricanes hit something like that and it doesn&#039;t get destroy or fall into the depths, I&#039;d call it a win.  heh.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Double edged sword, you think you are pleasing them but really you are just showing them somebody they can be comfortable with while they look for somebody with backbone.

Not saying you should be a jerk, if you&#039;re wrong, own up to it. But if you aren&#039;t wrong, letting them believe a lie for the sake of ego is just admitting they are shallow. If they are pleased with this, then you won&#039;t be with them long anyway unless you will inevitably learn to hate them.

Unfortunately, this sounds a lot more bitter than I prefer but I currently can&#039;t think of a way to soften it up.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is indeed Thunder Horse -- after Hurricane Dennis.  (It took on water due to a pipe that had been installed incorrect -- as opposed to any hull damage or anything.)  They had it righted within a week.  It was then hit by Katrina, but not damaged by it.

It took them three years to get it operational again though -- but, yes, it is indeed in production (for almost a year now).
