Especially when it almost never happens. When was the last time an oil rig blew up before last, when was it, March?

I have an idea. How about we find out what caused this explosion before we start all the hare-brained speculating?

Weren’t there reports of sky-high pressures recorded at BP’s rig?

Just because your are ignorate of history doesn't mean the rest of us are. Perhaps you should reconsider blowing off the opinions of those who actually work in the industry and have a clue.
