We have oil rigs/platforms all over the world for several decades. Why cherry-pick such a small set of data?
I'm not cherry-picking. The data set is so small because it rarely happens in the GOM.
A chart shows you fires and explosions for 5years, broken down by cost of the damage, in the same exact location as the two most recent incidents. Why on earth would I go look at incidents off of Africa or the North Sea? And why go back decades? I'm fairly sure that rig safety has gotten a whole lot better over the past 100years or so.
