A fire at an underwater pipeline connecting a platform operated by Mexican state oil firm Pemex at the Ku Maloob Zaap oil development has been brought under control, four sources said, after video footage showed flames shooting from the waters of the southern Gulf of Mexico.

The water fountain sinks air bubbles that enable the fire to burn underwater. When they've sunk the fire deep enough they simply turn off the water pumps and the fire goes out.
