The Break For 4/30/10: Lovely....Another Drilling Rig Overtunes

And another one:
The U.S. Coast Guard said Friday that a drilling ring has overturned in the Charenton navigational canal near Morgan City, Louisiana.

The rig has a 20,000-gallon diesel fuel capacity, and Coast Guard pollution investigators have determined that the rig is not leaking fuel at this time, officials said.

As a precaution, 500 feet of containment boom has been deployed around the rig. The Coast Guard has established a safety zone 1,000 yards on either side of the incident.
Who needs the real "Black Sea" over in Europe when you can make your own one at home.

Touching stuff.
