Another Gulf Oil Rig Explodes

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the here-we-go-again dept.

A few readers have noted that another gulf oil rig has exploded. This one is off the coast of Lousiana. So far all the workers are accounted for, but they are in immersion suits waiting for rescue.

    Well played!

    As to the question itself.

    I dunno who'll be first. But I would imagine a fair few PR firms and spin doctors in the US and elsewhere are warming up in preparation for it.

    no it's just people cutting corners to save cash sometimes it's cheaper to pay out on the death of a worker then to pay the cash to make it safer. It's time for some big time fines for doing that.
