It was sort of a hamhanded comparison to make, but he wasn't trying to draw moral equivalency between mass murder and an industrial accident or anything like that.

Could you help me see where he was going with it then?

His words were, "In the same way that our view of our vulnerabilities and our foreign policy was shaped profoundly by 9/11, I think this disaster is going to shape how we think about the environment and energy for many years to come." My reading of it is that he sees this as a watershed moment in terms of tighter regulation on offshore drilling and tackling American dependency on foreign oil.

I still Don't agree that it should have been compared to 9/11

It would have been better if he hadn't gone down that particular road, I'll agree with you there.
