I thought the one rig exploding was an anomaly, that these were perfectly safe and stopping drilling was irresponsible to address safety concerns.

It exploded because we're not drilling enough.

That doesn't mean there's a spill. It's early yet but TFA has no indications of oil spilling.

While hopefully true, that's not really the point.

I do appreciate that 90% of the submissions are from the same CNN link. Why did the mods decide to let identical links submitted? If I recall it wasn't always that way.

Obviously, we need to drill closer to shore.

There are ways around it if you are an HTML ninja.

Seems like most of the workers got off ok, though, which is good. Here's hoping for the remainder.

At the risk of jumping to conclusions, I think it's clear that this is the fault of ecoterrorists aligned with Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, and Barack Obama.

I liked my headline better.

Am I evil for thinking "I'd better post this to Fark" upon hearing about it?

/Actually, upon hearing about it, my first thought was "Okay, where's the info"

Hopefully this ends better than the last one. Waiting for more info, but this ought to let us know more about whether the last one was just BP's fark up, or whether it was a symptom of an industry-wide problem...
