    So an oil rig explosion that cost lives is something to be ignored?

    At this point I don't think we know that much about the extent of this disaster. This was a production rig and not an exploratory drilling rig like Deepwater Horizon so if the pressure out of the well isn't that high there might not be much of a spill but I admit to not knowing that much about oil drilling so I hope someone who works in the industry can add more info.

    I don't think we will really know how bad this is going to be for awhile.

    The rig was not in production. Nowhere near the effects of the BP fiasco. Only the company will be affected in terms of lawsuits, etc.

    I take it that means there will be no spill from it. That is some good news still feel bad for those people who died.
