COMMENTS: BP Confesses its Lack of Preparedness
20/20 anchor Chris Cuomo maintained his oversight of BP for ABC by securing a commitment from the corporation that there would be no reprisals against workers who report toxic side effects from working on the oil clean-up. NBC's Lisa Myers surveyed the impact of the disaster on BP as a whole. The corporation is now worth 35% less than it was on the day the explosion happened. CEO Tony Hayward is now on the record as confessing that BP was not prepared to cope with the emergency: "We did not have the tools you would want in your toolkit." The firm's PR ad campaign calls the leaking well "a tragedy that should never have happened." Myers quoted unidentified experts as speculating that top executives may be fired.
