Coast Guard: No oil leak from sunken rig off La.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – No oil appeared to be leaking after a drilling rig exploded and sank in the Gulf of Mexico, the Coast Guard said today, though officials were trying to contain what spilled from the blast and prevent any threat to the coast’s fragile ecosystem. The search continued for 11 workers missing after the explosion late Tuesday on the Deepwater Horizon, though family members said they had been told they probably did not survive.
