The gulf just can't catch a break! At least it doesn't sound like it's anything like the BP spill.

Dang! They also said the first one "Deep Water Horizon" was not leaking either when it exploded. This is crazyness. I am not a big fan of this offshore drilling.

Yeah we heard this over the radio from the Coast Guard out here... but I'm not in that area of the gulf anymore, working 150 miles east southeast of Galveston, TX. Still though, are they trying to run me outta a job or something? Sheesh!

As the old saying goes, once is an accident, twice is coincidence and three times is enemy action.
