FoxNews:
Oil platforms in the gulf have not been secured. Oil company officials expect some of them to collapse.

Not secured? Rhetorical question: WHY THE EFF NOT?!

I called my son at work. He's going to fill both cars up with gas tonight.

21 oil rigs were evacuated two days ago--long before Katrina reached Cat 5 status. Beyond that, how do you secure an oil platform against a storm like this?

They ran out of time to secure the rigs. Things happened too fast. People had to get out.
