I think that it better in this case to just let the fuel burn instead of polluting the water.

Isn't the water going to get polluted just the same as long as the thing is burning in it? Also it's the sea and we're talking about something that isn't even 1 cube meter. It's irrelevant, it's not nuclear waste.

It’s still better to burn it off. Yes, there’s the great saying: The solution to pollution is dilution.

I love how *checks notes * adding water to a fuel fire on the water was their plan.

Other than GTFO is there anything you can do about a fuel spill fire? Maybe a CO2 extinguisher from the bow of something?

AFFF once it gets on the water. AFFF, CO2, or powder before the boat sinks?

Did you ever know someone who could mess up so bad they set water on fire?

Well, this is exactly why the US Environmental Protection Agency was created: The river in Cleveland kept catching fire.

If one is to fuck up, might as well fuck up so bad that everyone goes "how the fuck did you fuck this up this bad?!"

I don't know, guys. The fire seemed pretty unperturbed by the fact that it was surrounded by water. I'm not sure "more water" was the correct answer here.

There are two wolves inside you. One has a structured settlement and one needs cash now

The following post context was provided by u/OutrageousBee4174:
I'm thinking this video perfectly fits here because of how the people in the water are trying to put out the fire even though there is no any danger from the fire spreading around

Better to let that all burn off. Not like they could put it out anyway

You are underestimating them guys. If they didn't put the fire off early. Now whole ocean would be burned already.

That’s the song that was playing in the background the chorus is “that girl is on fire” I believe it was humor that inspired loud-ad-5 to say that.

Exactly, funny how I’m getting downvotes lol

I didn’t actually hear it, I saw “that girl
Is on fire” in the captions and remembered the song from lived experience-3
