The Iranians first fired into the air and then fired at the Orizont rig

I guess the rig was trying to escape so they fired on it. Hey, does anyone know the top speed of an oil rig?

This one was being moved. They don't move very fast.

Is the oil rig laden with say, coconuts? And is it a European or an African oil rig?
