It's like a junkie who keeps shooting-up despite the fact that their life has fallen apart and it is killing them.

If the BOP had failed on a shallower well it would still have failed. If the spill had occurred closer to land then the land would be covered with this oil even faster. I don't see that the depth of the well or the distance from land had any bearing on the cause of this spill. John M,
