Yes it happens just like all other industrial accidents. I don't understand the "Here we go again" comment. Should we shut down oil rigs? From reports it was caused by a worker using the wrong type of cutting device on a tank holding about 28 gallons of fluids. It wasn't a total loss situation like Deep Horizon. I am also sorry for the loss of life. I live right on the Gulf of Mexico and I respect these workers and their families. I wouldn't want to do that kind of work.
