I don't know of a better way to ask, but are we talking about a situation where bodies are dismembered or where bodies simply don't exist anymore?
Fires that melt derricks and burn down rigs are pretty hot. I've seen more than a couple of drilling/workover rigs burn down over the years in North Louisiana but two stick out. One was a Cotton Valley rig drilling around Frierson about 2007/2008 that ran across a shallow gas zone while that broke through on them while making a connection. They tried to stab the TIW on but got overwhelmed by the gas flow. Rig was a total loss but luckily no fatalities or injuries.
Second well was in the late 1990's for Sonat in Bienville parish. Snubbing job on a workover rig went wrong and gas got to surface. Killed several people and was a horrible deal. There were some procedural mistakes made that led to that one if I recall.
