Two people are missing and eleven were injured after an explosion on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, on Friday.
Four of those are in critical condition from the burns they received, off the coast of Louisiana.
The remaining crew were evacuated to other nearby rigs.
There's little to no risk of a major oil leak, according to the US Coast Guard, and Black Elk Energy who owns and operates the rig.
Production had already been shut off before the accident occurred, so any leak would've been at most twenty-eight gallons.
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement is sending safety investigators, to the rig.
