...We had an oil platform wash in and got stuck under the Cockran-Africatown high-rise bridge here in Mobile Bay ...

I thought I read that this one was already in port for repairs and just broke loose from it's moorings.

You are correct. It broke free and blew up the bay, about ten miles, and damaged the rig pretty good though. Strange sight, under that bridge.
