A Shocking Memo - BP and the Three Little Pigs
A shocking memo discovered by The Daily Beast shows that BP, in the
Texas City explosion five years ago where 15 workers died and 170 were
injured, put those workers who died into cheap portable trailers next
door to highly explosive facilities purely to save money. This
internal document, referring to its own analysis as The Three Little
Pigs, shows how BP took deadly risks by choosing to save money by
building cheaper housing for workers after comparing the cost of
housing people in blast-resistant buildings versus the cheaper
trailers. Did BP similarly cut corners in the Gulf explosion? Do they
still consider their workers "little piggies" whose lives' are less
valuable than corporate profits? Increasingly it is looking like BP is
a criminal organized operation that has killed numerous human beings,
and should itself be put to death - dissolved - and its top executives
put in jail. Three executives from BP, Halliburton, and Transocean
each blamed the other for the deaths of 11 men on the Deepwater
Horizon in their testimony before congress, yet they all walked out of
the room and off to their private jets to fly off to their private
mansions - but if three people had robbed a gas station and 11 people
had died because one of them accidentally exploded a gas pump, and
each of the three blamed the other guy, do you really think three
"average guy" criminals wouldn't be in prison right now? Our corporate
limitations on liability need to be rewritten, and the entire idea
that corporations are people but the people who run them are immune
from criminal prosecution for the corporation's crimes needs to be
blown up. Visit www.movetoamend.org now to help amend the Constitution
