Hibernia Oil Leak Averted

A major hydrocarbon leak erupted on the Hibernia oil platform on May 12th, threatening a catastrophic explosion—but thanks to quick action by a worker, the spill was contained before it could escalate.

No injuries or ocean contamination occurred, but regulators are now investigating how the equipment failure happened. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
