Basically a guy who was working on the rig that exploded called up and talked about what happened and how. The show host confirmed he was who he said he was but was on air under an alias due to legal and all.

Here's an article putting this disaster in proportion to other disasters...

I'm not sure how I feel about the nytimes article saying 36 billion gallons were spilled in the iraqi/kuwait conflict. Seems off by a factor of 1000. That makes this particular spill much more severe than this article makes it seem.
