This September 2, 2009 handout image courtesy of Transocean shows the Ultra-Deepwater Semisubmersible Rig Horizon. A massive search was underway April 21, 2010 for up to 12 workers who went missing in the Gulf of Mexico after an explosion and fire damaged an oil rig and critically injured seven people. Officials said most of the offshore drilling platform's 126 workers were believed to have escaped safely from the explosion that ripped through the Deepwater Horizon semi-submersible rig around 10:00 pm Thursday (0300 GMT Wednesday). A plane and helicopters flew overhead while boats searched the waters off the platform, which was tilting and still burning Wednesday morning some 52 miles (84 kilometers) southeast of Venice on the coast of Louisiana state.
