No rigs blew up during 16 years of Clinton and Bush. 2 with Obama in the last 3 months? BS.

You have to love the Coasties. They fly towards burning oil rigs and head out to sea in Hurricanes. I hope they get the crew off and get the fires out.

We can argue about the political crap once everyone is safe.

Just in time for Reid and Pelosi to cram-through a lame-duck “renewable energy” bill.

80 miles offshore is what depth? Sounds like it’s located in every bit as deep water as the April ‘site?

This can be an absolute nightmare. It took them 100 days to plug the whole at the BP spill, this could be a lot worse.

Local report says 13 people were working on rig, 12 accounted for. 7 Coast Guard choppers search and rescue, no sighting of oil in water.

The linked article says: “80 miles south of Vermillion Bay”.

That’s about 100 miles south-southwest of New Orleans. Why couldn’t they use a landmark that more people recognize?

Two rig explosions in less than 6 months. It does seem a little hinky. Will be interested to hear further news

Prayers up for those involved.

One is unfortunate. Two is a plot.

This is no accident. Someone is doing this to push an agenda.
We have never had this happen like this before.
