Post by: Jome on July 12, 2005, 03:18:30 PM

The worlds biggest oil platform, situated 200km south-east of New Orleans, valued at $5 billion, is in danger of sinking.
The Thunder Horse platform was evacuated before the Dennis Hurricane approached, and when experts returned, this is the sight that met them:

BP fell 2% in the stock market, and the oil price rised $2, when the news was announced.
BP (75%) and ExxonMobil (25%) are the owners of the platform.
