Very interesting breaking news, was intrigued by the validity of reports of a woman acting suspiciously.
Is there any former oil rig workers out there who can tell us what the security on a rig is like? How possible is it for a mysterious woman to be walking around planting devices.

Latest news on the BBC channel states that this event is certainly not terrorist related.
