very few details. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE63T55Q20100430

I did however look into what a "Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit" was -- and this does not make me feel any better. http://oilgasglossary.com/mobile-offshore-drilling-unit.html

MORGAN CITY, La. (AP) — Officials say an oil drilling rig on its way to a scrap yard has overturned in Louisiana.

No injuries have been reported.

The rig overturned about 80 miles west-southwest of New Orleans. The Coast Guard said in a news release Friday that the drilling unit overturned in the Charenton navigational canal.

It can carry about 20,000 gallons of diesel fuel, but Coast Guard officials did not know how much fuel was on board. Coast Guard investigators say no fuel leaks have been found.
