New Orleans fire temporarily stops oil containment efforts
admin June 17th, 2010
The environmental tragedy caused by the Gulf oil spill seems to present new challenges daily. Workers trying to contain the gushing oil had to halt their efforts because of a New Orleans fire.
According to WGNO, the New Orleans fire occurred when the Discoverer Enterprise ship caught fire.
The containment cap was not damaged in the New Orleans fire but had to be shut down as a precaution.
Five hours later, containment efforts were moving forward again. No one was injured as a result of the New Orleans fire. But the blaze raises concerns about challenges the Gulf area faces with cleanup efforts.
