COMMENTS: Where is the Timor Sea?
It is not often that the waters between Australia and Indonesia make news on American television.

An underwater pipeline ruptured, leaking explosive gas into the air and polluting oil into the water. For those pushing the slogan Drill, Baby, Drill, the leak comes "at an awkward time," Blackstone deadpanned.
