Yes; RIGS, plural.

 

We have all heard quite a bit about the Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig which was attacked and sank in the Gulf of Mexico. Yes, attacked. And no, this isn't just another rehash of the conspiracy theory popping up on blogs everywhere about North Korea attacking. The aggressor may indeed be North Korea, but I haven't seen or heard anything which would support that.

 

That said, I understand that a certain media figure, whom I respect, is looking into this story, to see if it holds any water...and obviously, he'll only report on it if it's legit, so let's help him find the truth!

 

From what I have heard, the speculation that it WAS an attack was based upon facts, as in, there's no way on earth that this oil rig, which had been overhauled with the latest upgrades only two years ago, I'm told, and had TEN redundant hydraulic systems in place to prevent exactly what happened, according to an anonymous source who got in touch with me via an intermediary, just blew up and went down like that.

 

They have systems in place to ensure that it won't happen, and I was told that this particular rig was just bristling with the latest upgrades/systems. And even if a gas buildup occurred, it couldn't possibly do the damage that apparently happened to the oil wellhead, according to sources I've spoken to. I've been told that only properly placed/targeted military-grade explosives could have done that.

 

From what I understand, that's due to the super-heavy duty way these things are built. They're designed to withstand massive waves, hurricanes, and the rigors of drilling miles into the Earth. A mere natural gas explosion simply doesn't contain enough energy per area to do much damage, much less overcome ten redundant systems, each the size of a Mack truck.

 

Now, to be clear, I haven't been able to independently confirm this, which is why I'm asking for your help. The truth is that I have no personal expertise with drill rigs and explosives, but I'm a reasonably intelligent fellow, and willing to learn. If any of you are in the industry and/or are experienced with explosives, and can confirm the factual basis for such speculation, I'd love to get independent confirmation of this line of thinking, and get even more of the truth out, or at least, confirm what I've already heard, so please contact me ASAP. And make sure your info is detailed, and where possible, with independently verifiable documentation.

 

Many of our members may have already heard that those in the industry agree that this DEFINITELY wasn't an accident. I've heard this from enough people who I trust to consider it to be likely, and now it's time to reach out to try to confirm this.

 

Let's face it; considering the response, with SWAT teams on every rig, I'm inclined to agree that those assessments are far more likely to be accurate than inaccurate.

 

And one only needs to remember every major disaster/attack to realize that the press seems to ALWAYS gets through to SOMEONE who was a survivor/witness. Yet not only are we not seeing those interviews, but we aren't hearing a peep from the press, clamoring that there's no access to the survivors.

 

And then there's the inconvenient truth that a SECOND OIL RIG went down later, but only a single news story has been done on it, and it was just a tiny blurb in Marketwatch. Scroll down past this first article to read the news of the SECOND oil rig to go down in a week.

 

I don't know about you, but I've NEVER heard of such a thing happening. Two oil rigs going down in the same month, in the same part of the world...have any of you ever heard of such a thing happening? Glenn Beck has encouraged us to not dismiss ANYTHING as a coincidence, and I think as 9.12'ers, we owe it to the dead workers' families to not just assume this was an accident, and let it fade down the memory hole.

 

Again, I want to be clear: WE DON'T YET KNOW. I want to see if we can learn, from those here on The 9.12 Project Network, what's up. We'll learn a lot more as time goes on, but I wanted to pass this along to our members, asking for more information from anybody in the industry. If you have more detailed information, and are willing to speak with me, or you know someone who does, and is, please contact me.

 

Here's the best original story on this I've seen, from April 22nd, 2010:

 

 

 

 

NEW ORLEANS

These idiots take one wrong idea (SWAT TEAMS) and run with it. Why would he need armed SWAT teams? They ask??? They don't! They are NOT dog killing, balaclava wearing, black rifle toting SWAT teams. Sheesh.

It might very well be the oil rig was a deliberate act of sabotage. But that article is pure unadulterated horseshit. Exactly what qualifies the writer, posting from his mother's basement, to declare the rig was so reliably designed, constructed and maintained that it is impossible for this to have been an accident?

 

People love conspiracy theories. Somehow they find it more comforting than the idea we simply allowed such a catastrophic and avoidable fuckup.

The only thing that disturbs me is the fact that boats do come up right underneath us fishing all the time. I have brought it up on several occasions on how it isn't safe that we allow them to get in that close, but was told not to worry about it.

That is comforting.

 

Need a M60.

I was just going to ask Eric that very question... can someone on a boat just come up underneath a rig?

 

Scary.... and I am not a boater... but I take it 40 miles off the coast is not that far for most boats?

Not with a one way mission in mind

their are alot of boats that can go 40 miles offshore i would say 90% of fishing vessels 22ft and up can reach it and return home..

It all depends on how fast a boat is traveling...

That's what raises the flags.

how far is cuba from the keys?

 

I was reading about a guy who did the keys to cuba run on a jetski with 2 extra tanks on board....

Illegal Immigrants from Cuba travel here on raft's for crying out loud, without dying of starvation so im sure we aren't that far..

cuba realy is not that far by water, it is amazing what those people rig up, and use the currents to get them to our coast..

I know here where I'm at if a boat comes and parks anywhere close to our dock for more than 5 min, we are ordered to contact the coast guard here.
