ahh, this is porn we're talking about. maybe you want to rethink that analogy?

anyway, the safety equipment they built for these wells failed in 2012 in bellingham. that's a far cry from north alaska, but it's been a few years. so obviously they HAD a plan, even if it didn't actually work in basically perfect conditions.
