The rig is in Vermilion, Louisiana.
A fire and explosion at an oil rig off the coast of Louisiana yesterday sparked feelings of deja vu after with the BP Deepwater Horizon rig, whose fiery destruction caused the largest oil spill in American history.
The fire broke out in the upper living quarters of the Vermilion 380 oil and natural-gas platform, located 80 miles south of Vermilion Bay, Louisiana. The US Department of the Interior and Coast Guard is investigating what caused the fire, which forced the evacuation of 13 workers on the platform.
With memories of the BP Deepwater Horizon rig disaster fresh in the public mind, news of the fire and explosion at the Vermilion 380 rig owned by Mariner Energy Inc. immediately drew national attention.
