Thank god those fire engine ships arrived quickly to help put out the fire.

 

[Birdo]

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Oceans on fire off the coast of Mexico.

[Armorian]

Looks like Roland Emmerich movie, sequel to 2012? 2021

 

[T8SC]

I blame Adele.

They are using water to put out the fire in the water.

The front fell off.

 

[ItsGreat]

They've put it out. It took 5 hours to extinguish.

'Eye of fire' in Mexican waters snuffed out, says national oil company

A fire on the ocean surface west of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula early on Friday has been extinguished, state oil company Pemex said, blaming a gas leak from an underwater pipeline for sparking the blaze captured in videos that went viral.

I was a bit disappointed this wasn't the first replay so I felt I had to step in!

They are gonna say they are sorry for sure! DD

 

[Svengoolie007]

What does Tom Delonge have to say about this?

 

[triplestation]

that looks like some man of steel cgi

[DeepEnigma]

The hurricane should put it out. Or pick it up and swing it around like a giant cyclone of fire!

 

[rofif]

The fire is unputtable right?
Not unless they will close the pipe

 

[Bwesh]

Earth right now.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Our underwater reptilian overlords have had enough with this world. Can't blame them.

 

[epicnemesis]

I hope what they said about no spill is true and not damage control. Kind of hard to see how you have fire on the surface of water and there is no spill out. Hoping because it's a gas line and not a crude line?

 

[Pagusas]

Godzilla is coming…

 

[Halo is Back]

Global Warming is so hot right now, even our oceans are catching fire!

 

[bender]

They are using water to put out the fire in the water.

They should use gasoline to burn the fire away.

 

[sCHOCOLATE]

Earth right now.

In particular, Lytton, B.C.

Love it.

 

[j0hnnix]

Roland Emmerich working on a new film?

 

[Nobody_Important]

"pipeline fire" yeah right.


Nice try Cthulhu.

They are using water to put out the fire in the water.

This, although with a large enough volume of gas (which there obviously was), that water just turns into fuel with all the combustible gas dissolved into it. So more water could theoretically dilute the mixture enough to keep it from spreading or extinguish it.

Still, these offshore operations seem really sketchy, based on what I've read over the years. Like the lesser-known, but still insanely damaging Taylor oil spill, which also happened in the Gulf of Mexico, and is still going. It's the longest-lasting oil spill in US history. The industry is just a complete joke, as far as regulation and oversight.

At least this one here does indeed seem to be gas, given how clean the water appears, but who really knows. Underwater blowouts can drift for miles before surfacing, and gas is more buoyant than oil. It's hard to take anything said by officials at face value, given the history of the industry.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Sea water oil spills we know damage many species imagine drinking that area of polluted water.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I have some news for people looking for a corporation to blame here.

Imagine drinking salt water

 

[Spaceman292]

Imagine drinking salt water

Have you ever heard of a fish?

 

[Pol Pot]

Have you ever heard of a fish?

Feel free to grab yourself a big glass of salt water and report back

 

[Spaceman292]

Feel free to grab yourself a big glass of salt water and report back

I don't live in the ocean

 

[Pol Pot]

Which is why you don't drink salt water, yeah?
You can make your point or think I'm defending gas and/or oil spills in the ocean.
Unless that was your point?

That reminds me of my butthole after I opt for the 'hot' salsa at chipotle.

We really need to get off fossil fuels

What else are they gonna say? fuck you and fuck the ocean?

Tbh, that would be refreshing!

"ok so, you heard about it and ye, shit happens you know.. If it makes any of you hippies out there happy, this was expensive as hell for us and the ocean but yeah, don't care about that part! fuck off and goodnight, we have shit to do to make more money"
