Interesting piece of news from down Brazil

Worryingly this seems to happen an awful lot. When the Adriatic IV went down in Egypt we were not that far away on another rig and heard nothing about it. 10 days later the Jim Cunningham had a blow out had a major fire ball and nearly toppled over. From what I recall that hardly made front page news. Could it be because they were not in the GOM or North sea so therefore do not matter?

Also depends on who the operator is 😀
