The ocean is on fire in the Gulf of Mexico after pipe erupts. Pemex platform.

[Fergie]

A fire near Pemex's Ku-Maloob-Zaap offshore platform complex on Mexico's Gulf Coast has been controlled following a gas leak.

Pemex said the gas leak occurred at 5:15am local time in the submarine pipeline near Ku-Maloob-Zaap's Ku-C satellite platform in the Campeche Sound causing a fire 150 meters from the platform, according to a statement from the company. By 10:45am local time normal operating conditions were restored, and no injuries or evacuations were reported, it said.

Pacific Rim is real.







Edit: It's under control.

 

[Doggg]

That looks nuts.

 

[quik killa]

Wow, that is crazy footage; hope they can get that under control.

 

[MasterYoshi]

Looks like some good footage to put in a montage of how we got to the point we're at in 20-30 years or so when society has collapsed and the planet is an uninhabitable wasteland.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Imagine if hurricane elsa goes through there...wonder what happens. I imagine it will be under control by then but it makes me wonder

Sounds like it's already back to normal

Surely better to let it burn. CO2 is a weaker greenhouse gas than methane.

one of the maaaaaaany problems we have in this country...

First video looks like CG from a movie, second one looks more real though.

That's wild...

That fucking fire looks like it's about swallow the entire rig up jesus CHRIST

 

[Koyaannis]

I guess there is some kind of chemical involved, but the boats throwing water on... water is a really strange sight.

 

[kurahador]

WTF....that shit look CG. How the hell do you even put it off?

Fire under control:

'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.

This sort of crap is only supposed to happen in Cleveland.

 

[Deleted member 18400]

That looks insane. Is the gas just on fire as it rises through the water or?

 

[maximumzero]

This makes me angry, fuck, man.

Remember back in the 80s when we were naive and optimistic that society would be well past fossil fuels by the 21st century?

Fuck.

 

[Deleted member 5491]

Can we finally sue these oil companies until they are bankrupt?
They are destroying this planet and get away with this shit since forever.
Fuck man

 

[Gaia Lanzer]

Glad the got it under control.

Am I messed up to read this, then think of Chris de Burgh's song, "Fire on the Water"?

And I can see the fire on water
I can see the light shining in your eyes
I know that I can't stop it now
'Cos I've been caught in the heat of the sun

It's almost a monthly thing now with the incompetent AMLO administration which botched Pemex through its austerity policies.

[QuigleyMcShine]

The fire has been controlled but has it been put out? They might just be letting it burn out if it isn't being fed anymore.

Either way it seems really dumb that we do this on the ocean.

Something funny about watching firefighters spraying a fire with water in the ocean

I'm starting to think fossil fuels aren't that great after all.

 

[Don Fluffles]

Shut them down.
All of them.

Our lives are on the line and we need a mass protest on the level of last year's BLM rallies.
Contact your lawmakers daily. Remind them that you didn't elect them to stand around and accept oil & gas bribes.

[Captain of Outer Space]

All of these underwater pipelines seem like bad, poorly maintained issues. There have been a number of pipelines that just leak oil into the gulf for even years while the company responsible for them does nothing and is absolved of the blame:

This Oil Spill Has Been Leaking Into The Gulf For 14 Years

In the Gulf of Mexico, an oil spill triggered by a powerful hurricane has been leaking for more than 14 years with no solution in sight. The federal government is stepping in to try and contain it.
