Re: Oil Rig Bursts Into Flames After Huge Leak

What can I say, I wanted some fireworks on my birthday.

On a side note, I've never seen a well control incident last ten days myself. The longest I've seen is three or four days. The quickest, four hours.
I'd like to know why it took so long to control. Even with the risk of an underground blowout, I'd have expected them to have cemented it up as a last resort by that time.
