It seems like something that could only appear in a movie, but on Friday, it was reality: The ocean was on fire. A gas leak west of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula broke out of an underwater pipeline, causing bright flames to appear to boil up to the Gulf of Mexico's surface and create what many described as an "eye of fire." Gas started leaking from the pipeline in the Campeche Sound at roughly 5:15 a.m. on Friday, according to a statement from the company that owns the pipeline, Petróleos Mexicanos, otherwise known as Pemex. _____________________________________ Follow @sciencejournal.co For Most Recent Science News. @sciencejournal.co @sciencejournal.co @sciencejournal.co ____________________________________ #environmentalscience #awefacts #factzoflife #factoftheday #newseason #sneakernews #newsouthwales #environmentalist #environmentallyfriendly #environmentalist #aenvironmentalart #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #climatechangethefacts #climatechangeawareness #gulfofmaxico #fact #ocean #oceanview #oceanfire #oilspill #gulfofmexicofire #naturealert #earthfocus #earth #discoverglobe (at Gulf Of Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ46A2tjihJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
