Monday is the opening of the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), which is a week long conference combining technical discussion/presentations and product display and sales. This year there is expected to be some 65,000 attendees. At the peak of the offshore oil industry there were something in excess of 100,000 in, say the late 70's, early 80's.

With the current tragedy taking place in the background of this event, this becomes a seemingly unreal and truly ironic moment.
Good Morning.
