"That particular drilling platform is an older one,"

Actually... I thought the Transocean rig was one of the newest and most modern in the world. (Where did you hear that it wasn't?)

"BUT, to halt all drilling because of one accident...."

That hasn't happened though.

(The feds put a simple 30 day moratorium on new drilling in federal offshore waters only until they get a report about the accident's causes at the end of the month. Moratorium will be up shortly... and it never stopped "all drilling" anyway.)
