Just as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill as worked its way out of the news, a new explosion has taken place. This one about 200 miles from the location of the BP spill.
The Sun reported, "The fireball, which all 13 platform workers fled by diving into the sea, left a spreading mile-long slick.
"The crew donned emergency survival suits and were winched to safety by helicopter - miraculously all but one unhurt."
The rig, operated by an independent Houston company, Mariner Energy, "said that the fire was not caused by a “blowout” of petroleum following pressure control failure, as per the BP disaster," according to the National Business Review.
