Title: Another Rig Explosion Post by: Circle C on September 02, 2010, 10:40:06 am Just heard the news that another rig exploded. 80 miles offshore from Grand Isle, La.
Sad news for those on board, as well as anyone in the oil and gas business. :( Title: Re: Another Rig Explosion Post by: Circle C on September 02, 2010, 10:41:25 am http://www.kfdm.com/news/coast-39262-rig-whether.html

Title: Re: Another Rig Explosion Post by: Cutter Bay Kennels on September 02, 2010, 11:04:52 am Yahoo is reporting all 13 members are accounted for and safe. WOW, here we go again. I just saw the BoarNinja post, so I know he is safe and not involved. That is good.
Title: Re: Another Rig Explosion Post by: Circle C on September 02, 2010, 11:06:48 am Good to hear they are accounted for. Initial reports indicated one missing. Title: Re: Another Rig Explosion Post by: TinyTexasCowgirl on September 02, 2010, 02:16:47 pm I was wondering how long before someone mentioned it. Maurice is fine. From what my people are saying all 13 are accounted for, however one is in critical condition. One good thing that can come out of this, all the safety meetings and training paid off, all 13 guys were wearing their "gumby" suits.
Y'all don't forget these guys, as well as everyone else out there tryin to make a living, in your prayers tonight, we as an industry are sure gonna need them now. |
