"MEXICO CITY — An oil drilling platform was damaged when it collided with a production platform in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday and an unspecified amount of oil leaked from the rig, Mexico's state-owned oil company said.
Pemex said 81 workers had evacuated the Usumacinta drilling platform in life rafts, and that company was making efforts to try to pick them up from the stormy waters of the Gulf.

Some have even compared the total amount of oil released — estimated at 9 million gallons — to the tragedy of Exxon Valdez."
