Latest news release says missing person is a contract worker, so doesn't seem like it was him

The platform, about 1 1/2 miles northwest of Kenner's Williams Boulevard boat launch, serves three oil wells and one natural gas well. It exploded Sunday night while eight workers were on it. "Routine maintenance was being conducted on the platform and the flow lines that feed it, specifically cleaning of paraffin from flow lines using steam," the structure's owner, Clovelly Oil Co., said on its Facebook page. "Lines from 2 wells had been successfully cleaned and personnel were in the process of cleaning the third (of 3) when the incident occurred. The 3 oil wells were shut in before the cleaning. Clovelly also operated a fourth gas well, which was also shut in immediately after the explosion." 5
