WASHINGTON — The oil and gas industry needs to radically redesign the blowout preventers that are meant to be a last line of defense against runaway wells — or risk a repeat of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, the National Academy of Engineering concluded Wednesday.
Before the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, both the industry and federal regulators had “misplaced trust” in the ability of those emergency devices to seal off wells and to keep explosive oil and gas safely locked underground, the NAE and the National Research Council said in a 136-page report on the disaster.

DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling more than 128,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans from the 2010 and 2011 model years because the wheels can fall off the cars.
The recall affects only cars with 17-inch steel wheels built from April 1, 2009 through April 30, 2009, and from Dec. 1, 2009 through Nov. 13, 2010.
Federal regulators say that bolts holding the wheels on can fracture, causing a vibration. If the vibration is ignored, the wheels can separate from the car.
Ford says it’s not aware of any crashes or injuries caused by the problem.
Dealers will replace the lug nuts on all four wheels and check the rear disc brake surface. The recall is expected to begin around Jan. 24.
