Seventeen workers were critically injured and eleven others are still missing in an oil rig explosion off the coast of Louisiana on Tuesday. The explosion occurred at the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico in the early morning hours. Lawsuits will likely be filed by the families of some of the missing victims. The families still hold out hope, however, that their loved ones will be found. Nearly 100 oil rig workers were rescued by a supply boat.
