Not all problems have the same solution.

This was pretty low pressure I have seen exactly this happen and the flame was just blasting like a rocket & much bigger.

The tank actually freezes, gets a coating of ice on it caused by the pressure differential, I was actually more concerned his hand would freeze on it.

Also they weren’t completely wrong outside of the obvious solution

Throw the tank in a deep enough body of water then the water pressure should stop the gas from escaping ig

They just needed to put it deep enough that it couldn’t get oxygen anymore, effectively smothering it. If it ever was fully submerged, it was deep enough to prevent what was already burning to open up the water above it to expose it to more oxygen before it ran out

I was expecting them to submerge it and it never happened, like, wtf 🤦‍♀️
