<<For reasons not understood, the BOP’s either didn’t activate at all or didn’t do their job as intended.>>
The Koomey that operates the BOP's sits real close to the hole, on the floor, right behind the driller on older rigs. If all the hyd. lines were blew off, noone could close the BOP's, not even by remote.
They would have to reenter that well to find out what really happened, and I doubt that.
