20 oil rigs MISSING...!

i saw this earlier on cnni and about fell off the bed...
At least 20 oil rigs and platforms are missing in the Gulf of Mexico and a ruptured gas pipeline is on fire after Hurricane Katrina tore through the region, a US Coast Guard official said.

"We have confirmed at least 20 rigs or platforms missing, either sunk or adrift, and one confirmed fire where a rig was," Petty Officer Robert Reed of the Louisiana Coast Guard told AFP.

do you have any idea HOW BIG those things ARE...?? they're like miniature floating cities...
