louisiana oil rig explosion
DownloadA Jack-Up Rig and other vessels are seen docked in Port Fourchon, Louisiana, U.S., on Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Many support vessels throughout the southern Gulf of Mexico are seeking safe harbor from heavy seas caused by Hurricane Alex while rigs are docked due to the moratorium that has shut down offshore drilling. The BP Plc oil spill, which began when the leased Transocean Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded on April 20, is gushing as much as 60,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico, the government said.
