First Hand Report on Oil Rig Disaster

Watt’s Up With That has a detailed first hand report of the oil rig fire from geologist Jimmy Haigh, a commenter at the site. The report includes some spectacular photos of the rig as it burned and sank in 5000 feet of water. Eleven men are missing and will probably not be found.

Note the hole burned through the helipad in this photograph from the morning of the second day of the fire.
