This thread needs pinned

in the words of EAT:

Thread: *** SEPTEMBER STARTS SHOCKINGLY ***

I'm wondering now between the schools of thought:

Sabotage: Somebody is deliberately destroying these (hence the SWAT deployment to the Horizon rig)

Ineptitude: Greed, avarice have caused a corp. to cut back on safety and such in the name of profit

BEZERK: This has to do with the infamous thread here on GLP, where every sub owning nation is involved in a attempt to control a deep water organism

Political: Obama can't fully implement his take down of the US w/out nationalizing/controlling energy production.

my money's on the latter of all those... something much bigger going on here

Too late, Tyler Durden over at ZH is all over the financial fallout of this company

"Update: the explosion is on a Mariner operating platform in the Vermillion 380 field. This is not a rig."

From CNN

looks relatively close to shore in the map

wtfff

Got to bump this. All that since happened is incredible.

Big oil is evil.

And this is just one example of it.
