Body found near burning Gulf oil rig by Carter Brown
Divers sent by the owners of an oil rig that caught fire, have recently uncovered a body near the site of the fire. The news of the fire came from a U.S. Coast Guard, thus starting a 32-hour long investigation and search for two reported missing persons. Four other workers who were severely burned remained at Baton Rouge General Medical Center on Saturday night. "Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Bobby Nash said the Guard's search was ended early Saturday evening. Helicopters and a fixed-wing aircraft had been searching by air, while cutters and boat crews searched the sea." The oil rig fire started Friday morning while some workers were attempting to cut an oil line with a torch.
