Thanks for the info:
Transocean rig sinks, says Coast Guard
At 10:20 a.m. the Transocean Deepwater Horizon rig sank, according to a Coast Guard spokesman.
The vessel, which has been burning since about 10 p.m. Tuesday night was completely submerged, said the spokesman but the fire continued to burn.
The rig, located about 41 miles south of the mouth of Mississippi, is owned by Transcoean but leased by BP.
Transocean spokesman Guy Cantwell said the company is trying to confirm that report.
Some other media outlets have called and are being told by the Coast Guard they are not confirming the report. But Senior Chief Petty Officer Mike O’Berry told me they were just “dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s” before putting out a confirmation.
