The Lousiana oil rig failure...

[SteamWake]

Okay some of you may not know about this story but it started out as an oil rig off the shore of lousiana caught fire and 'exploded' (which in itslef is bizzare) all but 11 hands were rescued. This happened early this week. Most of the news was focused on the missing and the attempts to contain the spill and to stop the leak.

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
