Maybe more inertia than anything. Sometimes you don't realize you're in over your head until you are completely underwater -- I think BP is way over their heads.

They not only messed up the oil drilling and the result is now in the process of eating the Gulf Coast but they completely screwed up their response and communications in every way that you can screw up! Strictly from a crisis communications response perspective (the actual death, damage and tragedy is beyond comprehension much less comment) their CEO should have his mouth stapled shut and their entire communications team ought to be fired. It has been a text book "how Not To Do It.: right from the beginning. Anyone have any idea why or how? Is it just hubris or is it stupidity?
