700 plus Citations

Watching these hearings is just making it worse for BP during a certain questioning from a senator I dont remember what time frame it was but exxon had 2 violations, sonoco had 8, and various others were below ten. BP was given over 750 citations in this same time frame!!!!! how could this be? how are they still in business? why werent they shut down ? Everyone said it wasnt something they thought could happen(the blowout) its seems BP has been an accedent Waiting to happen.
Sorry I dont have exact numbers on this stuff but I'm sure more than enough of our friends here at ATS will be finding such things>>

I think it was something like 760 violations between 2005 and 2006, something like that. And the company that was 2nd in violations only had 8, don't remember which one though.
