New Orleans, LA (AP) - The Coast Guard is saying there are no
immediate signs of a spill from an oil platform fire in the Gulf of
Mexico off the Louisiana coast.
All 13 crew members were rescued from the water in the second
such disaster in the Gulf in less than five months.
The Coast Guard initially reported an oil sheen a mile long and
100 feet wide had begun to spread from the site of the fire, about
200 miles west of the site of BP's massive spill. But officials
said at a Thursday afternoon news conference that boats at the
platform have not seen any oil sheen.
