NEW ORLEANS An explosion rocked an offshore oil drilling platform, sending a column of fire into the sky and touching off a frantic search at sea Wednesday for at least 11 reported missing. Most of the 126 workers on the rig Deepwater Horizon were believed to have escaped safely after the explosion about 10 pm Tuesday, Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer Mike O’Berry said.

Helicopters and boats searched the Gulf of Mexico for any sign of the workers who had not been accounted for. “We’re hoping everyone’s in a life raft,” O’Berry said. The Coast Guard said Wednesday that seven workers had been critically injured. Later in the day, West Jefferson Hospital in suburban New Orleans said it treated four people, three of whom had been released. The University of South Alabama Medical Center said it was treating one person in its burn unit and evaluating five others. O’Berry said many workers who escaped were being brought to land on a work boat expected to arrive Wednesday evening. When the explosion happened, the rig was drilling but was not in production, according to Greg Panagos, spokesman for its owner, Transocean Ltd. in Houston. The rig was under contract to BP PLC. BP spokesman Darren Beaudo said all BP personnel were safe but he didn’t know how many BP workers had been on the …

This is a tribute to the 11 men missing from the Deepwater Horizon. I did not make this video but I did feel it needed to be up for the world to see. Oilfield workers catch a bad wrap but most don’t understand it is a way of life for us and once in a while some of our brothers pay the ultimate sacrifice. The song is by Trace Adkins, it’s called Missing You. Trace used to work for Transocean so it is fitting that his song speaks well about what we go through. Please don’t leave hateful comments or I will delete them.
