Mexico's state-owned oil company said the fire was caused by a gas leak from an underwater pipeline and that the blaze has been brought under control.

The water’s on fire! I didn’t think it was possible!
It’s not. It’s the oil coming up
The water is not on fire.
š
TBH this looked like the wildfire scene at the siege of Kings of Landing in GoT
The ocean donāt play water is undefeated and will always win
Looks like lava! Wow!
“No injuries”.
What about all the ocean species
Fire…dosen’t go all the way to the ocean floor….and unlike humans..animals don’t investigate fire.
How interesting, they use water to put fire under water. I have never seen anything like this. It looks simply unrealistic to be honest but true nevertheless.
the jet of water are “pushing the fuel into a circle so it does spread out further… oil and water dont mix š try filling a glas
s of water put 1 drop of oil then spin your finger
There could be some sort of retardant in the water.
They are using nitrogen not water
@AK PRODUCTION those are clearly tug boats pumping sea water
My thoughts exactly! Does not make common or rational āsenseāat all.
We literally set the ocean on fire.
Funny boats by & spraying more water on top of water LMAO!
it’s a liquid nitrogen, the water surface is freezing
@Hį»ng Phong holy, i jusy realized. Isnt that expensive?
āThe blaze did not generate a spillā
So whatās fueling the blaze enough to compete with the ocean? Asking for a friend
Just like using gas and lighting it up. They’re will be no spill or gas to be found as it burns 10Ć faster then anything.
Looks under control
Leviathan
It’s a natural gas leak not an oil spill.
” Nothing to see here…” says the oil industry, again…
Yet here you are using a desktop/laptop/smartphone….. made by oil…..and shipped to destination by oil…….
@John Phiilips that doesn’t change the fact the oil industry is corrupt and hides facts for as long as possible, then plays stupid when they can no longer claim it to be false… also doesn’t change the fact that we should be accelerating our switch to sustainable energy.
@jhay440 “That doesn’t change”
How dense are you? Serious question. You bish about oil but are using oil based products. You have zero credibility when you moan and groan on a topic like this but continue to buy oil base products. I laugh at dummies like you. Solar is only 22% efficient per panel at BEST case, Wind cost’s more to maintain in the long run then it cost to erect it. I can go on and on and on you know why? I work in the field so dont talk about corrupt when the solar industry is just AS corrupt if not MORE corrupt!
@John Phiilips bro heās just saying oil business is corrupt. Chill out
BUT THE PIPELINES ARE 100% RELIABLE !
Donāt forget
More reliable and longer lasting than a solar panel.
@Dylan Backlund I’ll take a leaky solar panel over a pipeline any day. To those who think because it’s burnt, it’s gone. SHOWS a failing education system. Pipelines can be safe but, there seems to be no accountability, so why would you?
Kind of biblical. A sea of fire.
Cāmon, donāt put that off. It could have been like that underground fire in Russia that has been burning for half a century.
Ask Pennsylvania. They have a coal seam fire that started in 1859.
The same thing happens to me every time I eat Indian food! š„
Well folks, Sauron’s back and he’s pissed.
This is underrated š
They didnāt even evacuate the oil rig?? š
It’s still leaking right? Yet again the incomitance is astounding. News and spills.
MATT:Ā Which is the thirstiest ocean on the planet?
EVAN:Ā Which one?
MATT:Ā The Gulp of Mexico
Achievement Unlocked: Fire In Water Reward: -50 braincells
With the hurricane coming, it might spread over a big area of the ocean.
