After an undersea pipeline ruptured early Friday morning, flames rose from the sea near the Ku Maloob Zaap oil field, an offshore platform managed by the state-owned oil company Pemex. According to a business statement, a gas leak ignited a fire approximately 164 yards (150 meters) from the platform at 5:15 a.m. local time.
According to the media, the fire took more than five hours to extinguish and was completely extinguished by 10:30 a.m., with no injuries or substantial impacts on production reported.
Terrifying videos of the incident have gone viral on the internet, showing what appears to be a molten whirlpool of flames blazing just off the Pemex oil platform.
