Second drilling rig overturns in Louisian
April 30, 2010


HOUSTON - The Coast Guard said Friday it was responding to another oil drilling rig accident near Morgan City, Louisiana.

A "mobile inland drilling unit" overturned in the Charenton navigational channel south of U.S. Highway 90 near Morgan City, the Coast Guard said in a statement.

There were no reports of injuries, the Coast Guard said. The floating shallow-water rig was not immediately identified and the importance of the channel was not clear.

The vessel has a 20,000-gallon diesel fuel capacity, but the Coast Guard, citing officials on the scene, said there was no fuel leaking.
