Gulf oil rig explodes off US coast

By The Associated Press

GRAND ISLE, La. - An offshore oil rig has exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, west of the site of the April blast that caused the massive oil spill.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Casey Ranel says the blast was reported by a commercial helicopter company about 9:30 a.m. CDT (1430 GMT) Thursday. Seven helicopters, two airplanes and four boats are en route to the site, about 80 miles (130 kilometres) south of Vermilion Bay along the central Louisiana coast.

Ranel says it hasn't been determined whether the structure is a production platform or a drilling rig or whether workers were aboard. Ranel says smoke was reported but it is unclear whether the rig is still burning.

13 workers on the platform. All accounted for, one injured.

The Department of Homeland Security said the platform was in about 2,500 feet of water and owned by Mariner Energy of Houston. DHS said it was not producing oil and gas.
