What is worse on all of this - the rig burned and sank after
dumping the loose contents off decks.
We can only hope that the contents and rig slid off to the side and
didn't slice pipelines and brake well heads / trees. There might have
been several Trees under there and this was the next well.

Facts will eek out. I think I know the BP manager in charge
(contractor).
I sure don't want to call him. Another friend runs robots to put on trees
and repair bottom stuff.

From what I read, it was one solitary well. Do not quote me.

For a 23,000 foot drill string, there would have been a lot of drill pipe,
collars, stabilizers, tools, jars, etc etc etc on deck. Most of the other
stuff would have made a slower descent.
