Where is the official oil disaster thread?

[b*saint]

I was wondering what is a "lock down sleeve?" BP had said in their appearance before congress [haliburton] hadn't use one. I could not find a clear explanation online.

There was also some some remarkable figures from Phil Gingrey that sounded skewed. Maybe someone could confirm this is right:

Oil company's recorded safety violations over the past 8 years:

ExxonMobil - 1
Citgo - 4
Sunoco - 8
Conoco - 8
BP - 760

Is BP really doing that many more things wrong? Maybe it is because BP out sources more work thus has less control over enforcing safety policies?
