This update from Seattle Times:
GRAND ISLE, La. —

An offshore oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday, west of the site of the April blast that caused the massive oil spill.

A commercial helicopter company reported the blast around 9:30 a.m. CDT Thursday, Coast Guard Petty Officer Casey Ranel said. Seven helicopters, two airplanes and four boats were en route to the site, about 80 miles south of Vermilion Bay along the central Louisiana coast.

The Coast Guard said initial reports indicated all 13 crew members from the rig were in the water. One was injured, but there were no deaths. The platform owned by Mariner Energy is in about 2,500 feet of water, the Coast Guard said, and was not currently producing.

About 206 million gallons of oil from an undersea well spilled into the Gulf after BP's Deepwater Horizon rig exploded April 20, killing 11 workers.

I point out that being in the water in the Gulf exposes one to the Corexit and remaining oil from the earlier fiasco.

in this business.

Oh, how I am not shocked at all. Welcome to the 21st Century as the whole "shithouse goes up in flames."

Thanks for the thread, SkyDaddy.

He's being given a second chance to get it right. Watch him blow it.


Did he learn from his mistakes trusting BP?


So far there is no evidence he did.


He'll probably get a "briefing" from the corporation and call them "our partner" again.

If one didnt know most would guess he was a Republican not a democrat

What were they lieing? OMG
