And yeah, in a sense they did profit. Their complete lack of any real investment in developing better safety and deep water leak containment measures over the years surely contributed to their bottom line. The methods employed to contain this were the same as those that were used 40 years ago. Gonna guess their drilling methods have changed pretty dramatically since then, but of course they investing money in those improvements.
