The CEO of the company and those responsible for this should be put on trial for gross negligence and environmental vandalism.
Just as an aside.....
This is precisely why the people running these large corporations and multinationals can't be trusted at all. All that matters to them is the bottom line...how much money can we make and at what little expense can we make it. You'd be surprised at how many of these characters are completely amoral when it comes to money and business practices. Some are even like that personally and yet these types are allowed to control the companies they do and get away with the things you see. That's 100% of the reasons why we're in the financial mess we are and yet they're being allowed to continue on in the vein they were before. Bailing them out may have been a necessary evil in one sense, but also our biggest mistake. Now these jokers think they're bullet proof, even more so than before...hell, if we stuff up again the government will bail us out. By spending our money to prop up these shysters who have fleeced us of our money to begin with.
.....now, back to the topic....
Regardless of what may happen to the jobs of the people working in this rig, the company that owns the rig and the rights to the field should be dragged over the coals for this and made to pay every single cent for its remediation. Then made to compensate those workers who may lose their jobs over this. No government bailouts, however it's going to cost us taxpayers millions to clean this up and the company will expect the government to cough up the cash to clean it up. Accidents do happen, but to then expect everyone to cough up to clean up what is ostensibly a problem of their own making is going a little too far.
