before the oil crept on shore, 11 men died

I've been wondering where these stories were.  So much media focus went into the West Virginia coal miners (and they're worth it, don't get me wrong), but then we heard nothing about the crew of this drill rig in the Gulf that exploded and burned and left 11 men out at sea.  I found this article today in a New Orleans newspaper that details the central part of this story and that is the death of these workers (http://www.nola.com/news/gulf-oil-spill/index.ssf/2010/05/at_the_heart_of_the_gulf_of_me.html).  One of the men was to be a father to a baby due any day now.  Catch the end of the 3rd paragraph...'with barely a mention of their loved ones' names'.  BP has an environmental disaster on their hands that seems to be overshadowing the deaths of these people.
