www.doyleraizner.com | 888-571-1001 | Doyle Raizner LLP Wherever the investigation of the cause of the off shore oil rig explosion and sinking of Transoceans offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon points to as the ultimate causes of this particular explosion, it points to an overwhelming need for closer oversight of the companies operating offshore. Both the Mineral Management Service (MMS), the Department of Interior agency primarily responsible for leasing and overseeing hydrocarbon operations on the Continental Shelf of the United States, as well as the United States Coast Guard, need more resources to meet the challenges of better and more consistent inspections and investigations. Unfortunately, the Coast Guard is already overworked, charged not just with safeguarding our coastline but also with leading roles in the War on Terrorism and trying to get a handle on the flood of imported containers and shipping that marks modern commerce. The lawyers at Doyle Raizner LLP offer experienced legal representation on behalf of people who have been hurt or killed in offshore oil rig platform explosions. We assist victims in their families to recover benefits and other forms of compensation to which they may be entitled as a result injuries caused by explosions on offshore oil drilling platforms or units. http

This song was written to keep the focus on the BP oil spill disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico. This is already the largest environmental disaster in United States history. Song written by Joe Monto & Steve Bartlett 1st Verse: The wave crests on fire And storm clouds below The oozing dark monster Creeps silently slow The heartache of many The future unclear We stand on the shoreline Surrounded by fear Chorus: There’s a hole in the ocean That’s breaking my heart When will it end Why did it start? Can we ever return To our blue watered bay There’s a hole in the ocean That stands in our way 2nd Verse: For the diving birds diving And the fish ‘neath the waves There is so much to do There is so much to save With bitter tears stinging For the ones who were lost Is there really a way To assess what this cost? There’s a hole in the ocean That’s breaking my heart When will it end Why did it start? Can we ever return To our blue watered bay There’s a hole in the ocean That stands in our way Bridge: Eleven souls sailing That April day It happened so quickly ‘Twas no time to pray Facebook channels: www.facebook.com www.facebook.com YouTube channels: www.youtube.com www.youtube.com Video Rating: 5 / 5
