By that logic, I take it we will now get all upset at Texas drilling because of what happens onshore in Alaska.

Nope. Not unless you consider Alaska to be only several hundred miles away from Texas.

Some fires involve explosions.

Some blowouts involve both, one, or neither.

The statistics I’ve posted recently are BOEMRE numbers for “fires / explosions.” These are all available to the public, and can be found by Googling. I used “oil rig explosion fire statistics boemre” for my search; my data comes from the second link.
