Authorities could not say when the flames might die out on the 400-by-250-foot rig, which is roughly twice the size of a football field, according the Transocean's website. A column of boiling black smoke rose hundreds of feet over the Gulf of Mexico as fireboats shot streams of water at the blaze. Officials said the damage to the environment appeared minimal so far.
Whew, thanks be to God that after 11 people losing their lives in a burning conflagration, that the "environment" is safe.
11 people were killed and you still have to put in your politically correct enviro-speak slant to the story? A great example of chickification of the news.
Quite frankly, in this context (and most others), I do not give a crap about the environment. I am sure though, that the relatives of the dead are perfectly fine for the story about their deaths being used to plug some made up crap about feeding the whales and saving the hungry.
Makes me want to vomit. .. Oops .. but that would harm the environment, right?

Go ahead and vomit. I'll join you. After all, it's biodegradable and therefore good for the environment as a fertilizer, right?
