If BP got involved to rescue the Chilean miners... 4 September 2010

- Description
Refers to BP's efforts to tamp the oilflow in the Gulf of Mexico oilwell disaster and the disaster in Chile in which 33 miners are trapped underground while 3 narrow escape chutes are being drilled to rescue them. President Sebastian Pinera has staked his presidency on being able to show the world that his government has safely rescued the miners ahead of schedule. Five months have gone by since an oil well exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and sending oil gushing. On Sunday (19 September), a cement plug sealed the BP well 2.5 miles under the sea floor, and retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad W. Allen, the government's person in charge of the disaster, declared BP's well "effectively dead."
