Deepwater Horizon Foreign flagging skirts U.S. safety rules
did y'all see this? what a fucking cluster fuck eh

Quote:
Under International law, offshore oil rigs like the Deepwater Horizon are treated as ships, and companies are allowed to "register" them in unlikely places such as the Marshall Islands, Panama and Liberia ? reducing the U.S. government's role in inspecting and enforcing safety and other standards.

"Today, these oil rigs can operate under different, very minimal standards of inspection established by international maritime treaties," said Rep. James L. Oberstar (D-Minn.), chairman of the House Transportation Committee.

Some offshore drilling experts, as well as some survivors of the explosion that led to the massive spill, say foreign registration also permitted a confusing command structure and understaffing ? factors that may have contributed to the disaster.

Are all rigs in international waters? If not, then we need to make them leave or change their ways.
I don't see any reason why our government can't change any treaties...they seem to do anything else they want without repercussion.
