11. Latest news is that when the rig sunk the deadman kicked in and killed the riser
The well is not leaking, and there is major spill response deployed to clean up what got out.

It has been revealed that the 11 missing crew were all likely on the drill-floor at the time of the explosion. Their survival is unlikely.
