*[Enwl-eng] A pipeline leaked. Then the ocean exploded into fire.

[ENWL]

            This oil corporation set the ocean on fire with leaked gas, but 
it's still operating in the Gulf of Mexico

                  A volcanic-looking "eye of fire" erupted in the Gulf of 
Mexico recently, spewing lava-esque bubbles of huge orange flames on the 
surface of the ocean. The apparent cause? Most likely an underwater 
pipeline. Earlier in the day, internal reports show that Pemex — a 
state-owned petroleum company in Mexico — became aware its oil drilling 
equipment had been compromised and was malfunctioning after a heavy storm 
came through. Then, just before the inferno, staff noticed a gas leak. Yet 
some officials in charge are still claiming this catastrophe was not related 
to "any spill."

                  The blaze raged for more than 5 hours before firefighting 
crews were able to extinguish it. The corporation is claiming it will 
supposedly do a full investigation, but we know where that always leads with 
oil and gas companies: no where. Meanwhile, wildlife and precious ecosystems 
may have been harmed or killed in this disaster, but Pemex is still 
operating its rigs, pumping out approximately 680,000 barrels of oil in the 
region every single day. Pemex leaked; now it should lose. Demand that 
Pemex's license to operate in the Gulf of Mexico be revoked and that its 
damaged equipment is shut down, before it has the chance to do any more 
destruction!

                  Thank you,

                  P.S. Let's not wait until Pemex's pipelines explode into a 
full-blown ExxonMobil-style scenario, coating the entire Gulf with toxic, 
choking chemicals. For once, a fossil fuel corporation needs to finally be 
held accountable.
