BP CEO Tony Hayward says he’s really motivated. He really wants to get this disastrous oil leak in the Gulf Coast plugged. After all, that’s the only way he’s going to get his life back.
Tony Hayward announced over the weekend that while he’s “sorry for the massive disruption” the oil spill has caused, “there’s no one who wants this thing over more than I do.”
“Y’know, I’d like my life back,” he said. “So there’s no one who wants this thing done more than I do, and we are doing everything we can to contain the oil offshore, defend the shoreline and return people’s lives to normal as fast as we can.”
Watch:
It’s not the first time Hayward has veered off message. Earlier this month, Hayward told the Guardian that the size of the oil spill is relatively “tiny.”
The Gulf of Mexico is a very big ocean. The amount of volume of oil and dispersant we are putting into it is tiny in relation to the total water volume.
