Compared to the Deepwater Horizon event, this is a non-story. Last year it would probably not even have been reported.

I work in the Uk Oil and Gas industry, and don't take this the wrong way, but guys i work with feel working the oilfields in Nigeria (where Pirates regularly kidnap you) and Iraq (no need to explain the dangers here) are SAFER than the Gulf of Mexico! These accidents were just waiting to happen.
