I have just come across a very intersting article about BP’s Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig.  I found the article on The New York Times Website. I would very much like to share it with you. Here is a link to it:

Workers on Doomed Rig Voiced Concern About Safety

And now there’s more, it seems.  The following is from The New York Times website, taken from an article dated Friday, 23 July 2010:

Oil Rig’s Siren Was Kept Silent, Technician Says

I would like to draw your attention to Naomi Klein’s article in The Guardian for Saturday 19th June 2010.  The article is entitled:

A hole in the world

In the article, which you can read by clicking on the above link, Naomi Klein discusses the recent disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and the way in which this disaster is so intimately associated with the hubris at the heart of capitalism.

If you enjoy the above article, and would like to know more about Naomi Klein’s work, you can see her giving a talk on YouTube, by clicking on either one of the following links:
