An offshore petroleum platform has exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, west of the site of the April blast that caused the massive oil spill.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Casey Ranel says the blast was reported by a commercial helicopter company at around 2.30pm today.

Seven helicopters, two airplanes and four boats are en route to the site, about 80 miles south of Vermilion Bay along the central Louisiana coast.

I find it hard to understand that for all the time the oil rigs have been in the Gulf, we now have two rigs, gone bad. The damage to the gulf coast may never recover from this. I wonder if that is the point of all this damage. I suggest is to follow the money trail, who would profit fromall this damage.
