On October 28th, Reddit user ironpirate83 posted a thread titled "BP knew well cement was 'unstable' – Captain Hindsight," which linked to a MSNBC article indicating Haliburton may have been aware of the instability long prior to the accident. He flies around the world providing hindsight after every catastrophy that happens, but doesn't actually do anything helpful. On the same night as its broadcast, Urban Dictionary definition of Captain Hindsight was submitted by user Xero_Manifesto:Ī stupid ass superhero from the South Park episode Coon 2: Hindsight. The show's creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker later explained that character's mock-superpower was inspired by the heavy hindsight bias in the news analysis following the outbreak of BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2011. Suddenly relieved, the crowd applaud as Captain Hindsight leaves behind the devastated beach: In the episode, Captain Hindsight arrives at the scene of Deepwater Horizon oil spill, but instead of trying to resolve the crisis at hand, he explains to the crowd the precautions that should've been taken to prevent the disaster. Captain Hindsight first appeared in Season 14, Episode 11 of South Park titled "Coon 2: Hindsight" which aired on October 27th, 2010.
