A rig sitting in 250 miles of deep water has exploded and left 13 workers in the water. Early reports are that one of the workers is hurt. The platform is not an oil drilling platform so it is not yet known if there is any oil leaking from this latest Gulf incident. The rig is said to be on fire and rescue missions are currently taking place to rescue those in the water.
