Deepwater Horizon - Transocean Oil Rig Fire

[QUOTE=Cynthia;36593]Only if you finally tell me what a hot stab is. :-)[/QUOTE]

Hot stab - think of an air wrench clipping into the end of a compressor hose air line. Pressure is available, stabbing action allows connection of item.
A control panel (note the valve shown is a rotary valve) where a hot stab might be mounted
