Not again! How much spillage was there?

It was natural gas, not oil. I am much more worried about the guys on the rig than any 'spillage'. Natural gas is not a liquid. Those guys work so hard to bring us a commodity that most all of us use. I think it takes great courage to work on a rig like that. I had a brother on an oil rig who had to be helicoptered back to the mainland due to an injury, and a friend who is disabled forever from an injury on a platform. I salute them and pray that they are all okay.
