A valve on a submarine line would have burst and caused the fire
It's out of control 8 hours ago

MEXICO CITY -- Mexico's state-owned oil company said Friday it suffered a rupture in an undersea gas pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico, sending flames boiling to the surface in the Gulf waters.
Petroleos Mexicanos said it had dispatched fire control boats to pump more water over the flames.
Pemex, as the company is known, said nobody was injured in the incident in the offshore Ku-Maloob-Zaap field.

The leak near dawn Friday occurred about 150 yards (metres) from a drilling platform. The company said it had brought the gas leak under control about five hours later.
But the accident gave rise to the strange sight of roiling balls of flame boiling up from below the surface of the Gulf

Holy shite, is this real? That’s insane.
Also,
at the fire monitors as if that’s doing any good. Only thing stopping that fire is a pipeline shut-in - which I assume is what they did. Posted on 7/2/21 at 5:57 pm to Bobby OG Johnson
Looks like the Gulf of Mexico ate some Taco Bell!

Ain't gonna lie that is the coolest thing I have seen in a while. It has that volcano look to it or the Eye of Sauron. Underwater fire has always fascinated me.
Maybe a stupid question but what is the oxidizer in an underwater gas fire?

I don't believe that's underwater fire. No oxygen. That's a surface water fire. Very cool looking however.
It burned itself out once Pemex isolate the leak.

Yeah, igniting as it rapidly rises out of the water. Guess it was good it was a gas pipeline. I don't remember exactly but there's no way methane is going to dissolve much into water right?
