[QUOTE=bigmoose;40980]Intersting… I am not sure we ever talked about a collapsed riser section? Perhaps it was just me that didn’t know a section collapsed or imploded upon the drill pipe.
Not surprising really [B]bigmoose[/B]… given that gas initially errupted around the rig, then if there was no riser fill-up tool at the bottom of the riser to fill the void created from that expanding gas with seawater, then riser will collapse in 5000ft of water with a reduced hydrostatic pressure inside it.
