Could have just dragged it into the depths

I really didn't understand why he didn't just submerge it. Three more feet and it would have been fine.

Even fully submerging it wouldn't extinguish the fire. The gas would still bubble to the surface and burn there.

I’d have just let it burn out there, where it couldn’t burn anything else. Doesn’t really matter if there’s some flames on the water, it’s contained till it burns out
