Oil rigs are perfectly capable of exploding on their own without help from a submarine. Just sayin’.

Transocean is a top-shelf company, with over 600 vessels, the largest private navy in the world. Safety is job #1 unconditionally, and everyone takes it seriously, as they know their lives depend on doing the job right.

After the Choesun incident, I wouldn’t doubt the NoKo provocateurs were involved.

And what’s with the SWAT teams?

Consider the source, but this story is beginning to percolate:

Oil rig explosions are rare.

I’m not saying I know what happened, but I smell a big ol’ rat.

Yes, the truth is out there, but we may never know it.

What really has me wondering where are all the talking heads.

The experts telling how it was made how it could happen. Interviews with any survivors ect.

There seems to to a lot of news lacking on this.

I’m not buying your theory yet. We have sworn enemies with the ability and will to pull this sort of attack off.

True that, BUT most explosions, in fact all of them I can research so far, have never resulted in the blow out valve failing. Natural gas, BTW, does not explode easily it burns, yes, but it is very difficult for it to explode. There is a lot, including the fact swat teams have been sent to other rigs, that needs explaining and for people to think it might have been sabotage is understandable considering the lefts BS attitude about any energy production.
