Shocking video showed the Gulf of Mexico boiling with bright orange flames underwater. The video went viral on Friday, July 2, 2021 as social media dubbed the orange flames “eye of fire” due to the blaze's circular shape. According to Pemex, the fire occurred roughly 150 yards from a drilling platform in the Yucatan peninsula. The company said the fire took more than five hours to extinguish. (Photo by BNO News)
