“An oil rig explosion, a man is killed, another injured… and this reads like just another day in Florida…”
Read it again. It does not say an oil company rig. It says “facility”. Not all oil company facilities are “rigs” or even oil producing.
An oil rig explosion, a man is killed, another injured… and this reads like just another day in Florida…
