Something big is going down. now a Gas rig.
A gas platform has sunk in the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Venezuela, but the energy minister says it poses no risk to the environment.
President Hugo Chavez announced the incident via his account on the social networking site Twitter.
He said all 95 workers were evacuated from the Aban Pearl platform before it sank in the early hours of Thursday.
The rig was at the centre of Venezuela's efforts to develop its huge offshore gas deposits.
Mutley, I have to say that I really admire your ability to find these big stories and report back on this forum. Keep on trucking!
