Those little pesky details they forget to tell you, like this was the second drill attempt that failed. Check the 60 minutes interview at 4:57 in, the interviewer says "And that well was abandoned" (after drilling too fast had fractured rock and it collapsed in on the equipment)
Remember those faked pics BP put out just to fill in a hole caused by a blank screen?
What if it wasn't blank, but rather something the didn't want you to see?

Cracks Show BP Battled Well Two Months Before Blast

On Feb. 13, BP told the minerals service it was trying to seal cracks in the well about 40 miles (64 kilometers) off the Louisiana coast, drilling documents obtained by Bloomberg show.
In early March, BP told the minerals agency the company was having trouble maintaining control of surging natural gas, according to e-mails released May 30 by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which is investigating the spill.
On March 10, BP executive Scherie Douglas e-mailed Frank Patton, the mineral service’s drilling engineer for the New Orleans district, telling him: “We’re in the midst of a well control situation.”
The incident was a “showstopper,” said Robert Bea, an engineering professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who has consulted with the Interior Department on offshore drilling safety. “They damn near blew up the rig.”
