Well, to be fair the last one was a BP rig.
But yeah, oops indeed.
BP has been running ads... even up here in New England... with a black woman from New Orleans* as a BP representative talking about how they're cleaning up down there and making sure everyone affected is taken care of.
*Fair enough, tho one cannot help but see the choice of using her as a spokesperson as a P.R. move to help make BP look like they care.

'Cairn' i get a witness?
I suppose the point of this article is to reassure newsreaders that although oil rig explosions happen on a day to day basis, only a small minority cause trouble and ruin it for everybody. Hence the phrase 'fire drill', i guess.

yeah, actually came over to check if this was up here.
Has the BP one stopped leaking yet?
Just reading that BP is saying that it might not be able to pay out compensation to everybody already effected unless it is granted further licenses. Is that a Catch 22 or a reverse one?
