I've heard from a friend at BP that when the rig began to sink, it was all but abandoned by BP, and an independent towing company went out and salvaged it, which, according to Maritime Law, means they own the vessel; or something to that effect; end result being BP buying it back from them for a princely sum. Apparently this was kept fairly quiet by BP, even internally. Now, I can't find any citable resources to this effect, if anyone else can, please make the necessary edits. If this is true and citable, it needs to be on this page. Max.goedjen (talk) 23:48, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

There was a salvage settlement with Smit in March 2009.LizardJr8 (talk) 21:43, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Factual error from sloppy reporter

"During repairs, it was discovered that the underwater manifold was severely cracked due to

---

> poorly welded pipes"

This isn't true,  it comes from a news story written by Sarah Lyall, who makes many errors,

including saying that the prime minister of Ireland is female.

 See:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Lyall

From: http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/948325/troubles_run_deep_on_gulf_oil_platform/

We learn that:
 "By late September 2006, the manifold investigation team delivered its verdict.

The welds, indeed, were the problem thanks to an unforeseen chemical reaction.

While the manifolds sat idle for a year after the platform tilted, the crushing pressure at the bottom of the sea forced hydrogen atoms into the mix of steel and high-strength alloy that made up the welds.

The hydrogen caused the metal to become brittle,

and when water was forced through the piping during the restart testing, the welds failed." 209.78.18.99 (talk) 01:32, 18 January 2012 (UTC) 17 Jan 2012

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
