That was my first thought when the rig exploded with no explanation. I didn't want to sound paranoid though. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought along those lines. Part of me feels guilty for even thinking it.
There’s a lot of info in the fringe news resources on the internet that, if true (and some things I’ve read and watched are hard to dismiss) point to the oil rig explosion being sabotage with the intention of creating the crisis.
The unplanned part of it was the extent of the disaster due to the explosion rupturing the pipe down deep into the sea bed and in turn rupturing the sea bed itself. They drilled into a strata of oil and the well is under such pressure that there may be no way of stopping it. A BP whistle blower says the daily volume is 4 million barrels.
There is a media black out being enforced in much of the area where the oil is gushing all the way to where it is coming on shore and few people are aware of this. I have noticed that there is a concerted effort on any thread where any of this info appears to relegate it to the tin foil hat category. There are also people who just dismiss it without investigating it at all because it sounds too nutty. If you are interested in looking into the matter, this thread is a good place to start:

I have looked at these fringe news reports and interviews and find some of them very hard to just dismiss. Whether it is all true or not, the people running the show plan to take full advantage of it. If they win, they may get a tainted victory, however, and have a real mess on their hands because they have crapped in their back yard, not just ours.
I see there’s now a thread on the extent of the damage:

No, you’re not the only one. And it was the first thought to cross my mind as well. And, I am beginning to believe that it is now their intent to allow maximum damage to occur.
