After the huge issues of the BP rig sinking and letting out tons of oil in the gulf, anything that happens on these sorts of platforms is very big news. CNN reports that a rig 100 miles off the coast of Louisiana owned by Mariner had an explosion and fire. There were no fatalities reported, and only a minor oil sheen has been spotted. All 13 workers on board are reported safe. It has also been reported that the rig was under renovation and repair, and was not under production according to this report.
