[quote:Anonymous Coward 961549:MV8xMDU2NTkwXzE2NzcwODkzXzk1MUYzNzZG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 905924] No, the one that WAS on "fire" is out now. And again, these were pretty specific searches. Try looking into it yourself with an open mind. Try US oil refinery incident and see what you turn up. Then try US oil rig incident Just a few years ago a similar incident to the rig overturned in the waterway occurred. There was a leak on an abandoned jack up rig and it leaked mucky nasty stuff into the gulf. I'm just saying - some of this stuff is "normal" activity, and I believe some of it (namely the explosion in the gulf) may very well not be. [/quote] look i have no doubt that accidents are normal in any environment....but to suggest that 2 rigs catching fire in one week is the industry norm only suggests that the industry is a fucking biological hazzard of epic proportions. i'm very pleased the other fire is out.

An oil rig on Boca Chica beach is reportedly on fire. Boca Chica Beach is just north of the mouth of the Rio Grande, near Brownsville. This is hundreds of miles from the oil refinery fire in San Antonio.
