explosions occurred within the oil rig giant‚ Deepwater Horizon‚ an immense offshore drilling platform‚ located 40 miles off the Louisiana coast (Steffy‚ 2011). These explosions were due to a defective blowout preventer and numerous gas leaks seeping up and through the well to the riser pipe‚ connecting to the rig‚ igniting fire.
