Clarifications and more videos! The explosion of the gas pipeline took place between the two villages of #Maly Mayak and #Vynogradne near #Alushta – now it is the #Yalta district. The gas main could not withstand the hot operating conditions. It is still impossible to extinguish the flame :)

You put out a gas line by shutting the valves above and below the fire and wait for the gas to burn off. Suspect there are significant distances between valves so a whole lot of gas needs to burn off before this will go out.

Edit

Add – You can also dig out the line above and below the fire and pinch it with special equipment but that also takes time to do.
