VK has probably already posted this link... but in case you didn't see it... here it is again. It is well worth the read because you won't find this being talked about in the media.
The oil rig was state of the art.
"The rig had apparently just finished cementing steel casing in place at depths exceeding 18,000 ft. The next operation was to suspend the well so that the rig could move to its next drilling location, the idea being that a rig would return to this well later in order to complete the work necessary to bring the well into production."

The Gulf oil rig explosion – on the scene photos
Posted on May 1, 2010 by Anthony Watts
Regular WUWT commenter Jimmy Haigh, a geologist by trade, sends along a PDF that is a compilation of on the scene photos taken right after the explosion and in the following two days. I’ve converted it to web format. These were taken by people on the scene during the rescue and firefighting operation. There’s also a narrative, done by a person “in the know”. You won’t find this at AP or Reuters.
