I haven't saw anything on this site about this, but This morning I heard a news blurb on CBS radio on the way to work about this rig. Here are a few links to some different things going on down there. Due to the number of links, I'm not going to add any of the stories. I would recommend taking a look if you have friends or family in that area at least.

There is lots more on the net about all these events. Some sites by well known sources, plenty of others that are harder to verify so YMMV. I would like to hear others comments about this, espically if you know much about this area. I particularly would like to hear from Helo on this.
