Hercules Jack-Up Rig Catches Fire Following Loss of Well Control | gCaptain Maritime & Offshore News

This rig is offshore Louisiana. They can't put it out from the rig, as the control gear is destroyed. Working on a relief well to cut off the source. Let's hope nothing catastrophic happens before then.

That well was a relief well for another mess. So they are drilling a relief well for the relief well. What a cluster #$@%.
