Despite Gulf oil spill, rig owner executives get big bonuses - CNN.com

Despite Gulf oil spill, rig owner executives get big bonuses - CNN.com Okay, something is seriously wrong with this picture. They're calling 2010 their safest year in history, but yet, a rig exploded, 17 people were injured, 11 people died, and that began the worse oil spill(gusher) in this country history(All in one day). All under the watchful eye of a foreign entity, and a conglomerate that wrote the U.S. energy policy. If that's not scary enough, the execs of Trans ocean(The company which owns the rig) received gobs of money in bonuses due to all the above events; despite the fact that they were proven to have neglected safety regulations. This is bull! I wonder how many of these execs a prepared to pay compensation to those who later in life may incur several health problems; not only from the oil, but from the toxic dispersant's used as well.
