not 19? not 21? an oil rig is a pretty hard thing to lose when you have surface radar.

Why are we not drilling in ANWR? No hurricanes up there. Oh, because spoiled leftys want it left pristine....fine, pay $4 a gallon for gas....

Fox just showed one of those platforms, washed up on a sandbar on Dauphin Island, AL, 60 miles away from where it was.

beware of the scare reporting tactics!
The terms "Platforms and rigs" are NOT interchangeable.
Just as drudge reported the "loss" of 95% of the oil production this so-called report of "rigs and platforms" is a play on words for the biggest scare.
Drudge's report of 95% loss was only correct if you realize that with EVERY major storm, the platforms and rigs are evacuated for safety - some platforms keep skeleton crews aboard though. SO for almost every hurricane that goes through that region there is a major "loss of production"
To: Mr. Jeeves
At least 20 oil rigs and platforms are missing in the Gulf of Mexico Looters?
To: Mr. Jeeves
On the other hand no one has spotted a blowout.

That's going to make the New Orleans off shore sailing regatta a little challenging since they use the rigs as turning marks.
The Old Media will probably ignore this hardship in their attempts to slant the news to generate sympathy for non yacht owners.

My company owns seven of them. I'm not sure we'll look that hard for them. They're located a couple hundred feet from their previous location, except they're now artificial reefs.

I'm third generation oilfield and I know what a production platform is, and I know what a drilling rig is, but I'll be damn if I've ever seen an oil rig.

"We have confirmed at least 20 rigs or platforms missing, either sunk or adrift, and one confirmed fire where a rig was," Petty Officer Robert Reed of the Louisiana Coast Guard told AFP.Lloyd of London will file for bankruptcy by Monday, I will bet!
