Oil Vey, Here We Go Again

Offshore drilling is perfectly safe, the other rigs are fine, Deepwater horizon was a fluke, and so it goes.

An offshore oil rig exploded Thursday in the Gulf of Mexico, injuring at least one worker, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

All 13 people on board the Vermilion Oil Rig 380 have been accounted for, and the one who was injured is being transported to a hospital, Coast Guard Petty Officer Bill Colclough said.

The rig is believed to be on fire, Colclough told CNN in a live telephone interview. He said it has not yet been determined whether there is a leak as a result of the explosion. 

Perfectly fine, everything's fine here, how are you?

Drill baby drill!

[UPDATE] MSNBC is reporting that a "mile-long sheen" of oil is now visible from the burning rig.  It may be from the rig itself, or it may be from somewhere else.

Hell.  Great.  Just great.
