Wow, Looks like a production platform or the mast completely snapped off and sank to the bottom of the Gulf. It is also interesting that the platform itself looks to be right down at sea level. I wonder if the legs broke off as well. Strange, glad my days out there in the Gulf are over.

There is no platform showing in the picture. It is a Jackup with the mast pushed over and broken off and all three legs missing. If it was jacked up I'm surprised it didn't sink when it went over. If it was jacked down I'm surprised the legs are gone.
