BP Alaska employee airs ongoing concerns

Jill Burke

Mark Kovac, a BP employee since 1977, has hit the national media circuit in recent weeks with some pointed concerns about his company's practices. His latest stint is an interview with CNN, which airs tonight on Anderson Cooper 360.

You can read more about the interview on reporter Randi Kaye's blog here. Mincing no words. Kovac expresses fears that what happened in the Gulf of Mexico could happen in Prudhoe Bay on Alaska's north slope, attributable, he believes, to BP's constant push to save money at the expense of safety.

BP Spokesman Steve Rinehart is also interviewed.

A video segment from CNN's report can be seen here.
