Horror footage shows flames rising from the water in the Gulf of Mexico after a gas pipeline ruptured on Friday - creating what was described as an "eye of fire".
According to Mexico's state-owned Pemex company, a gas leak from an underwater pipeline sparked a blaze and caused the Yucatan peninsula to "catch fire."
The fire occurred roughly 150 yards from a drilling platform in the Yucatan peninsula.
The shocking video showed what appeared to be the ocean's surface boiling with bright orange flames underwater.
Pemex reported a leak at 5:15am on July 2 in the submarine pipeline near its Ku-Maloob-Zaap’s Ku-C satellite platform in the Campeche Sound.
