What next for BP? - Will the oil giant recover, collapse or be sold? [BBC Company News]

Is this fair?

Hard to judge without knowing all the facts. And with the many pre-judgements the facts will never be fully and "fairly" known.

May be or even quite likely someone in the system cut corners and the reporting structure missed the warning signs, should this bring down a big company? I have my doubts. If this was a case of the once great GEC in the UK it would be understandable to see such a decline.

But this is a company doing the same business as several other multi-nationals to supply the world with energy. BP also is a big name in Solar Power. I have no interest in defending any multi-national oil company with often rather questionable records in human rights, political involvement leading to wars and so on.
