There was recently an explosion on an oil rig off the coast of Louisiana that killed seven, and have left another eleven missing, according to the New York Times.

As if the environmental toll of the oil industry, and the practice of offshore drilling, weren't large enough, we now see the very real human cost, given the dangers of the industry. 

We'll keep up to date on the accident as time progresses, and when the smoke clears, we'll continue our work to get these places shut down.
