Cellar exclusive: Damage done by Hurricane Lili to an offshore oil rig

[Nothing But Net]

A friend in the oil bidness sent this to me.

I thought these rigs could weather most any storm... seems like a tiny footprint in the waves. I was wrong, it's the wind that kills you. No wonder they evac these things when the shit is bearing down.

This reminds me of those walker things in the "The Empire Strikes Back".
