Gulf oil platform explodes, burning off La. coast
NEW ORLEANS, La. – An offshore petroleum platform exploded and burned Thursday in the Gulf of Mexico off Lousiana, west of the site of BP's massive spill, but no leaks were reported.
The Coast Guard said no one was killed in the explosion, which was spotted by a commercial helicopter flying over the site Thursday morning.
All 13 people aboard the rig were found floating in the water in survival gear called "gumby suits", sticking close together, Coast Guard spokesman Chief Petty Officer John Edwards said.
"These guys had the presence of mind, used their training to get into those gumby suits before they entered the water. It speaks volumes to safety training and the importance of it because beyond getting off the rig there's all the hazards of the water such as hypothermia and things of that nature," Edwards said.
The platform was in about 340 feet of water, considered shallow water and far less than the roughly 5,000 feet where BP's well spewed oil and gas for three months after an April rig explosion.
The crew were rescued from the water by an offshore service vessel, the Crystal Clear, and taken to a nearby platform, said Coast Guard Cmdr. Cheri Ben-Iesau.
All were being flown to a hospital in Houma to be checked over. Ben-Iesau said one person was injured, but the platform's owner, Houston-based Mariner Energy, Inc., said there were no injuries.
"Mariner has notified and is working with regulatory authorities in response to this incident. The cause is not known, and an investigation will be undertaken," the company said in a statement.
"In an initial flyover, no hydrocarbon spill was reported," Mariner said. It said the platform was located on Vermilion Block 380, approximately 100 miles off the Louisiana coast.
The platform is a fixed petroleum platform that was in production at the time of the fire, according to a homeland security operational update obtained by The Associated Press.

Oh yeah, right, hmm, wasn't it Pres Obama that wanted a moritorium on drilling for a few months after the last rig explosion!?
Of course, they knew better and got a judge to put a restarining order on it and they kept at it.
I mean c'mon ONLY some stupid ass liberal would every think another crazy rig explosion would happen ths yr.
These stupid regulations and Gov based safety checks, geesh, how dumb is THAT. ::)
Being FREE from any dumb Gov safety standards is the PROVEN way to go ::)
C'mon, like a 2nd rig is really going to blow up.... ::)
That "drill baby drill; screw Obama " chant looks so smart about now 'eh.

They didn't go in the Gulf, they went in the Bay, which is more like fresh water.
