From CNN

— Oil rig explodes 80 miles off Louisiana coast; 12 people reported overboard and one missing, the Coast Guard says.

It just gets worse & worse

Oh cripes. It's not a BP one is it?

Happy drives home guys…

I can't see anything about it on CNN.

EDIT: Found it.

Rig is owned by Mariner Energy of Houston.

Google : BP and Volcanoe

Far worse things to come than Oil Rigs falling over….. far worse!

Doesnt sound like it was drilling at the time…

American owned? Doubt there'll be quite the witch-hunt we saw previously then……

Dylan, all I get is stuff I already knew about (asphalt volcanoes etc) and some nutjob conspiracy theorist?

Why if they were tapping into asphalt volcanoes would they do it in the gulf, plenty of shallower ones about the world?

Wow, American oil workers really need to start getting their act together don't they?

This is the sort of thing that happens when you stop hiring Bruce Willis.

Ah. Are you one of the people unaware that BP is 40% UK owned and 39% US owned? Or are you one of the people who knows but who prefers to ignore it?
