Deepwater Horizon Technical Failures, Windows NT, SEC Investigation
Testimony from a Deepwater Horizon engineer reveals that the rig's computer systems were frequently crashing with the "blue screen of death" prior to the explosion. The systems were reportedly running an obsolete version of Windows NT from the 1990s. Additionally, the SEC is investigating suspicious trading of BP shares following the explosion, drawing parallels to unresolved airline option scandals from 9/11.
