Didn’t Hyundai Heavy Industries build the platform? They’re from South Korea. Who leased the platform? BP (doesn’t that mean British Petroleum)? Was this spill in or out of international waters? I believe it was within our borders, so I say an act of terrorism. Platforms don’t “just” blow up, do they?

Correct. Hyundai built it for Reading Bates for $350 million in 2001. Reading Bates later sold the platform to Transocean who is the current owner.
