Petroleos Mexicanos, Mexico’s state-owned oil company on July 2, Friday said that fire was caught in the Gulf of Mexico due to a crack in an undersea gas pipeline.
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 (meters) 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 of Mexico.
It was unclear how much environmental damage the gas leak and oceanic fireball had caused.
Miyoko Sakashita, oceans program director for the Center for Biological Diversity, wrote that "the frightening footage of the Gulf of Mexico is showing the world that offshore drilling is dirty and dangerous."
Sakashita added, "These horrific accidents will continue to harm the Gulf if we don't end offshore drilling once and for all."

How bad have we, the West made their lives? We, the west use them as political and media tools.
Right. Let's go something
That instantly reminded me of that space station clip they show where the screwed in T handle is spun unscrewed and how it would flop over, and thus, per Velikovsky, et al., as below, so above.

Since I have no desire to hear about the moving day problems of folks who (most likely) have failed, in over a year to see through this scam, and, it appears that there's no idiot video there, I'm just going to presume that my above was correct (violates the rule 'Never 'threaten' someone with a gun, instead, shoot to kill them, et al.) I'm moving on.

You know how Sea World has jumping whales, sea lions, dolphins etc? Well the local gator park would (still does?) hang chunks of beef about 5 feet above the water and the gators scramble over each other to jump up and get it. It's called the 'Gator Jumparoo." (Sounds like a joke but it isn't.)
Those big boys floating that close to the water, plus that God awful music, probably attracted the shark to do a 'Shark Jumparoo, Too!"

Now I am into martial arts: Kalarippayattu, Qi Gong, and Pentjak Silat. Lots of more.
Well if the SHTF hits the fan I can count on you, If you are good at racuetball, then you have quick reflexes.
Thanks for your feedback, for your Uncle learned archery like me. If you shoot wrong the bow will lash out and scrape your arm (painfull) nowadys they have cross hair telescopes, archery now is for whimps. So give my kindest regards to your uncle.
