[quote:Anonymous Coward 961549:MV8xMDU2NTkwXzE2NzcwNjUzXzMzMzQ1NTY5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 905924] Guess you COULD just do a google news search like he did - but here ya go: http://news.google.com/archivesearch?as_user_ldate=2007&as_user_hdate=2009&q=oil+refinery+explosion&scoring=a&hl=en&ned=us&q=oil+refinery+explosion&lnav=od&btnG=Go http://news.google.com/archivesearch?as_user_ldate=2007&as_user_hdate=2009&q=oil+rig+explosion&scoring=a&hl=en&ned=us&q=oil+rig+explosion&lnav=od&btnG=Go http://news.google.com/archivesearch?as_user_ldate=2007&as_user_hdate=2009&q=+US+oil+refinery+fire&scoring=a&hl=en&ned=us&q=+US+oil+refinery+fire&lnav=od&btnG=Go That's for starters. And this is just the stuff that actually makes the news. your first link has some stories about 2 seperate incidents in 2009....one in california and one in delaware 2 seperate incidents in 2008..one in texas and one in salt lake 1 in 2005 ......for a grand total of [b]5 accidents in 4 years.[/b] your second link was a total of[b] 5 rig incidents from 1988 to 2009[/b] your third link contained stories about the incidents already mentioned...... thanks for your input Searched only years 2007-2009 and there were pages and pages of incidents. Did you only look at the first page? Also, I only did very specific searches. oil refinery explosion us not gas leak at oil refinery oil truck refinery explosion loading rack incident, etc. etc. [/quote] i looked at the articles at each link you posted....on each page there was two or three articles on the same incident....so yeah i guess it looked like a whole bunch of seperate incidents to you. it's why it took so long for my reply. there were also three articles about an explosion in 1988 written in 2007 or 2008.... i don't remember which. but that at least ought to verify the significance of an [b]oil rig explosion[/b] if it's still be discussed 10 years later....not some biweekly event. and accidents are reported even if someone injures themselves on the job....that's an accident and requires a report....it's not a friggin explosion. an oil rig exploded last week....evidently one is on fire as we speak.....ho hum....just the industry norm. right [/quote]
Original Message
An oil rig on Boca Chica beach is reportedly on fire. Boca Chica Beach is just north of the mouth of the Rio Grande, near Brownsville. This is hundreds of miles from the oil refinery fire in San Antonio.

This is the link...can somebody get it to work, please? It doesn't look right to me...it should be for KRGV news. Sorry, not a computer geek, at all.
