What the hell, people. What, the biggest environmental catastrophe (ever? or just recently?) and you still don't learn?

Good to know that there was no fatalities in this either.

And still, though. Freak accidents can happen even under the most careful of circumstances. Was this a bP oil rig? I didn't see.

The article mentions Vermilion, but I don't know if that's the company that owns it or the type of rig or something. Edit: Oh, that's the bay it's located in.


The reports say there wasn't a leak or spill, but there are also reports of a sheen on the water about a mile long. The fire wasn't caused by an explosion but a fire that started at one of the pumps. As mentioned, all 13 workers are safe and accounted for.
