Looks like another rig has exploded/on fire. Shouldnt be leaking from what sources say. Just passing the word on world news if people didn’t see this.

Reports say that the fire has already been put out. Thankfully it isn’t leaking and doesn’t appear to be at risk of it.

What are the odds of this happening right at the time that BP gets charged $5.7B I believe it was and some sort of Homicid charges I thought it said.

Apparently the blowout preventer actually prevented a blowout this time.

Hope the workers are ok. Someone messed up though. 28 gallons is nothing but sure leaves a huge sheen on the water.
