>>There was never an accident until Deepwater Horizon and now two explosions??!!<<
Oh, my Lord, are you serious?
Please tell me you’re not serious.
I’m starting to think you are really serious.
Oil wells experience blowouts all the time. Texas alone had (I think) 14 or 15 in 2009.

Gulf Oil Rig Explodes Off La. Coast

GRAND ISLE, La. — An offshore oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday, west of the site of the April blast that caused the massive oil spill.
A commercial helicopter company reported the blast around 9:30 a.m. CDT Thursday, Coast Guard Petty Officer Casey Ranel said. Seven helicopters, two airplanes and four boats were en route to the site, about 80 miles south of Vermilion Bay along the central Louisiana coast.
The Coast Guard said initial reports indicated all 13 crew members from the rig were in the water. One was injured, but there were no deaths.
The platform owned by Mariner Energy is in about 2,500 feet of water, the Coast Guard said, and was not currently producing.
About 206 million gallons of oil from an undersea well spilled into the Gulf after BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig exploded April 20, killing 11 workers.

LOL. Now you’ve gone and done it. Shortly the posts claiming they were all sabotaged will begin to trickle in.
I don’t know of any gulf offshore oil rig blow-outs,fires and leaks(other than the Istook(?) well years ago). Are you aware of one in the Gulf in the last 35 -40 years?
I should have better documeented that statement, but, yes, I am sure that’s what I have heard. I think it applies to deepwater drilling. There has been drilling in the GOM for decades and it has been pretty free of “accidents” like this until DH. I am looking for the actual documentation.
