Deleting Texts As Destroying Evidence

[liveonearth]

This engineer (ironically named Mix) knew that the 4/20/10 BP oil geyser was bigger than the company had told the media, and they're arresting him for deleting 300 text messages on that subject. Not to be totally uppity but I KNEW at the time that the guesstimated amount was likely to be false and low. Anybody with half a brain knew the number was not likely to be the eventual truth. They just picked a nice round number and were sticking to it. It sorta sickens me to see an engineer go down for this. Somebody higher on the food chain is more responsible, and for more heinous crimes.

oh, yes - so did I!

and i agree so much about the BS about not hanging the higher-ups

the BP disaster was an immense, unforgivable and unsolvable travesty - and will ever be a huge, huge thorn in my heart
