15. It was listing because of the water being dumped on it

From the same NYT article that you're citing:

"The rig was taking on water from the firefighting efforts, causing it to list up to 10 degrees, but company officials said they did not expect it to collapse."

So it appears to be exactly as the expert in the Science News article described it.
