Mexican Oil Rig Evacuated After Almost Collapsing
An oil drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico was evacuated yesterday after a support leg failed, causing it to almost collapse, Tribuna reported.
Workers stabilized the Ocean Yorktown rig, which was performing drilling and maintenance work in the Abkatum Pol Chuc production area, the newspaper reported on its website. None of the 95 people on the rig was injured, the newspaper reported.
A spokesman for Petroleos Mexicanos, Mexico’s state oil company, didn’t answer phone calls placed by Bloomberg News seeing comment.

Who cares about people. Did the event release oil into the Gulf? Are we going to destroy a food source for oil? Oh, that’s right, we are destroying most of North America for oil and natural gas so we can drive our SUVs to McDonalds.
