MORE VIOLENCE centered around petroleum. This time it's not in Iraq.
Oct. 25 (Bloomberg) -- The collision of a Petroleos Mexicanos oil rig and a floating platform during a storm this week was the deadliest offshore accident in the Gulf of Mexico in 43 years, with at least 18 workers killed and seven missing.The death toll is the second worst in the Gulf, where Mexico produces most of its oil and the U.S. gets about 27 percent of its output. In 1964, an explosion on a C.P. Baker drilling barge killed 22, said Simon Marquis, a U.K.-based offshore rig researcher.
