713 Mexico workers evacuate collapsing platform

The semi-submersible residential platform Jupiter from Mexico's state-owned oil company Pemex is seen partially submerged in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Ciudad del Carmen, April 12, 2011. According to a Pemex statement, the platform started to lean over after a mechanical incident on one of the pontoons. All the 713 people onboard were evacuated and no injuries have been reported.
