Today I hear the Feds. including Dept. of Homaland Security were to sweep into the region with "SWAT" teams being deployed to other existing rigs for inspection.

Now theres someting about that that sets off my curiosity. Already the rumors are flying that it wasent an accident.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I mused about the rig being destroyed intentionally to 'prove' how dangerous it could be to the panhandle coast. Why? because of the 'pro drilling' sentiment that has taken hold. But it got a tad out of hand. But that would be a conspiricy theory I dont quite buy. However plausible.

So I wonder what the real story is there.

Just google Lousiana oil spill for more.

Heres one for the lazy
