Two offshore oil workers were killed by Shell's negligence in September 2003. Yesterday a Sheriff fined them £900,000, hyped as the biggest North Sea safety fine ever. Today Shell announced its 1st quarter profits for 2005: £2,910,000,000, equivalent to £22,453 per minute. So the balance sheet reads: 2 dead men = 40 minutes profit. (Also interesting to note that the fine is only newsworthy in the Scotland section of the BBC's site not the business section.)
