It was not USCG. It was 3 Chouest boats, 2 platforms and 1 rig.
USCG got out here after the boat picked up the guys from the water.
Boats were on scene within 30 minutes.
USCG rescue helicopter on the heliport waiting for the boat to move under the crane to get the guys off the boat.

They were lucky there were boats in the area.
There was no Mayday call, nothing.
We just saw smoke where there was no rigs or platforms.
Couple of tanker ships passed by them, didn't even attempt to stop.
They were close to the NOLA shipping lane when it happened.
