Drill baby drill Burn baby burn Lie baby lie This may actually be an example of the system working. If the reports are right there were no fatalities and no oil was spilled. That is better than the normal drive time experience in your major city. Oil rig worker is a safer job than cab driver I have been on rigs in that area. IIRC, I would guess the water to be no more than 200' deep, which doesn't compare to the 10,000 or so for the other one. They can get a floater in there REAL QUICK to do some remediation like drilling and placing a plug. When I worked on rigs from '74 to '80, there were several fires and capsizings and collapses. It was common. Also common was dumping cuttings overboard which resulted in a sheen for miles, but back then, the tree huggers hadn't gotten out that far, or got to be so strong. Glad to see the system worked pretty well, and happy that all the men are safe. That's the main thing. Steve Heart surgery pending? Read up and prepare. Learn how to care for a friend. http://cabgbypasssurgery So, dumping crap in the ocean is fine with you. Sheesh. Fires, explosions, people having to be rescued... if that's a system that works, I'd hate to be around a system that didn't. You're around the Obama presidency. It ain't working. WAFM! I'm "around" the Obama presidency? What the heck does that mean? You're a racist and a liar. |

Have you ever been on an offshore platform in your life? No human in their right mind sets their workplace on fire when there's no land within a hundred miles. There's good money in getting oil to land, not having burnouts. Sheesh. Steve - former oilfield worker |

Steve - former oilfield worker It's caused to happen by loose or non-existent enforcement of regulations or the gutting of them. Apparently, you _were_ born an idiot or you had a lot of practice! |

This **** never happened when GWB was in office. Yet again, you've got you're head up your butt.. An MMS review last year found 41 deaths and 302 injuries out of 1,443 oil-rig accidents from 2001 to 2007. The agency's analysis found a lack of communication between the operator and contractors, a lack of written procedures, a failure to enforce existing procedures and other problems. |
