Poll: Why did the Transocean Deepwater Horizon burn and sink?
At about 10pm, forty-one miles off the coast of Louisiana, an explosion rocked Transocean Deepwater Horizon, an oil exploration rig in the Gulf of Mexico. The cause is currently unknown, and may be unknowable. Any guesses about the cause are pure speculation. What do you think happened?
Someone told me that the Coastguard sank the Deepwater Horizon with their efforts to put out the fire. BP objected telling the Coastfuard that the fire was necessarry to burn off the gushing oil and gas.
