Damn that isn't good news. They must have been running with the legs too far down. Any word on the name and company of the boat? My uncle is the captain on one for Hercules.
ETA: I still find it amazing that BR news stations can get this before the Houma Daily Courier.

Workers injured in Terrebonne Parish jack up rig accident

COCODRIE, La. - A minor accident on a jack up rig southeast of Cocodrie in Terrebonne Parish Friday morning left workers with what appear to be minor injuries, according to paramedics and a Coast Guard spokesman.
A spokesman for Acadian Ambulance reported the workers were injured when the jack up rig in motion hit a gas line offshore. The ambulance company said 24 workers were involved in all, though the number quoted by Coast Guard officials was significantly less. Petty Officer Steve Lehmann said only two workers were injured.
The incident happened 15 miles southeast of Cocodrie in South Timbalier Block around 10 a.m., according to the ambulance company.
A boat dropping off the rig workers may have knocking part of the rig, leading to the accident, according to Lehmann.
He said that collision may have led to a natural gas release. Once the leaking natural gas rig was secured, some workers complained of feeling sick, according to Lehmann. The entire rig was evacuated as a precaution, he said.
A dispatcher at the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s office said the sheriff’s spokesman, Maj. Malcolm Wolfe, could not provide any information, and said BP would be responding.
A spokesperson for Acadian Ambulance told WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge that none of the injuries appear to be serious, but the workers are being taken to various hospitals for treatment or observation.
One patient was flown in by helicopter and 13 others were hospitalized. Another 11 workers are on their way to shore by boat.

COCODRIE — Thirty-nine workers from a jack-up rig traveling south of Cocodrie were transported to land for medical attention this morning after the rig struck and ruptured a gas valve, emergency workers said.
Only one of the injuries was considered serious, and that worker was airlifted to Terrebonne General Medical Center.
Another 34 workers were transported by ambulance to area hospitals and five more are en route by boat to a Dulac dock where they will be picked up by ambulances.
Most of the workers were being checked for respiratory problems and all are stable, according to a spokesman for Acadian Ambulance.
The incident is not believed connected to the Deepwater Horizon incident.
