We had an oil platform wash in and got stuck under the Cockran-Africatown high-rise bridge here in Mobile Bay and one washed ashore on Daulphin Island (at the mouth of the bay).

Some amazing pictures but, I can't find any on-line.

I thought I read that this one was already in port for repairs and just broke loose from it's moorings.

blam, at least one of those that I saw on line was a floating hotel not a production platform.

Not true. It was a drilling rig, not a platform.
