Yikes:
An underwater gas pipeline has caught fire in the Gulf of Mexico. It is connected to a platform operated by Mexican oil giant Pemex that was producing 726,000 barrels per day of oil equivalent at the moment of the incident. https://t.co/xLzQOkumWhpic.twitter.com/ieqCVhtD95

It . . . does look just like that:
“I was fifteen when the first Kaiju made land in San Francisco. By the time tanks, jets and missiles took it down, six days and 35 miles later, three cities were destroyed…,” https://t.co/TeADHwzPxl

The fire has reportedly been extinguished:
“#Pemex reports that a gas leak was recorded in an underwater pipeline with the presence of fire at sea, 150 meters from the KU-C satellite platform, belonging to the Ku-Maloob-Zaap Production Asset. The fire was extinguished at 10:45 am.”
