Post Blowout on platform
Any of you offshore guys listening to the VHF? Blowout being broadcasted out of USCG New Orleans but I didn't catch the location

appears it may have been a gas cloud not smoke. The word I have from radio traffic is that 44 POB and all 44 embarked on support vessel nearby safely. Increased rotary aviation ops in the area but nothing further yet.
