May 17, 2010 — Why did BP not take safety measures to prevent an oil spill? It's all down to simple maths. See how. And how you can make a change to their maths!
Boycott BP!

1. Interesting Video...
Unfortunately, the numbers used in this video are inconsistent. From (about) time index 0:43 to (about) time index 0:50, the cost of safety measures is represented as 500.00USD, and the incorrect statement that 500.00USD > 75.000USD is made. At (about) time index 1:14, the cost of safety measures is given as 500.000 USD. Had this number been properly represented earlier, the noted inequality would have been correct.






C'est l'internet!

2. This video moved from slide to slide too quickly. I'd like a little more time on each slide.
Maybe just me. If so, sorry.
