With the approach of Hurricane Dennis into the Gulf of Mexico, British Petroleum evacuated "THUNDER HORSE", the largest Production Drilling Quarters semi-submersible in the world. On 11 July 2005, three short days later, the crew of the PDQ arrived to find the mammoth platform listing approximately 20 degrees and perilously close to capsizing.
