WSJ reports that an acoustic shut-off device isn't on the rig. Apparently the Dept. of Interior Minerals Division decided not to require those for deep-water rigs because at $500K they were "too expensive".
Isn't the DOI Minerals Div all the guys & gals that were exposed partying with the oil company execs?
