Yes, there were problems on the rig that exploded in the Mexican Gulf oil spill of April 20, 2010. Platform workers expressed concern as recently as the preceding month of March and into the very month of the explosive incident. Their concerns were well founded, and the economic, environmental and human costs of the problem are high. Specifically, seventeen [17] workers were injured, eleven [11] platform employees went missing and are assumed dead, and area wildlife has ended up wounded, stressed or dead.
