Over 500 platform brande siden 2006

Branden på boreplatform Deepwater Horizon i den Mexicansk Golf er langt fra enestående. Siden 2006 har der været 509 brande på olieplatforme i Golfen. 35 har mistet livet ved de mange brande.

Men den amerikanske kystvagt forsat leder de 11 savnede besætningsmedlemmer fra den brændende platform, viser en opgørelse offentliggjort i Huston Chronicle, at ulykken er nummer 509 i rækken af brand og eksplosionsulykker i den Mexicanske Golf siden 2006.

Ni gange har ulykkerne resulteret i i alt 35 dødsfald. Oplysningerne stammer fra U.S. Mineral Management Services, der monitorerer og indsamler platformdata.

I 2008 begyndte eksempelvis en brand fordi en O-ring var fejlinstalleret i en olieledning, hvilket skabte en læk ud til en brandvarm motordel. En brand i 2009 skyldes svigt i en elektrisk installation.

De fleste dødsfald på boreplatforme skyldes drukning, dykkerulykker, helikopter-styrt eller ulykker der involverer boreudstyr.
