HERE IS A LIBERAL FROM YAHOO.com on the article on the explosion...


Jeez, oil companies suck. And sadly, the Republican Party has been bought by them (and the banking cartel, of course), so the odds of us ever getting off our oil addiction appear slim indeed. Might as well get used to the explosions and oil spills; Republicans aren't going to do anything about our oil addiction, else they either would have done it themselves already, or at least they wouldn't be blocking Obama on every single thing he tries to do to get us off our oil addiction (and thus stop funding BOTH sides of resource-driven wars and conflicts).

One of Fox's owners is a Saudi oil baron (who reams us on oil then funnels the money into building mosques all over our country). As long as Fox = Republicans, then our oil dependency is likely going nowhere. Enjoy your oil spills, Gulf Coast. And if you want many more, be SURE to vote Republican. The oil companies and the banking cartel are counting on you and they need your votes to continue their dominance of our country.

Yeah I know right... I was reading about it and was thinking they got the location wrong or added an extra 0 to the depth by accident

Mariner - platform owner - says that the platform is fed by 6 wells and 2 pipelines feed to land.
1400 barrels of oil per day on
average and 9 million cubic ft of natural gas.

Bn shut in means nothing is flowing to the platform....
This is not confirmed by USCG or state officials. That's came from mariner.

The Coast Guard is saying that a mile-long oil sheen is spreading from the site off an offshore petroleum platform that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana. The site of the explosion is west of where BP's massive spill occurred. The Coast Guard said no one was killed Thursday in the explosion. All 13 people aboard the rig were found floating in the water in survival gear.
