P.M. CDT on 20 April 2010 , during the final phases of
drilling the exploratory well at Macondo, a geyser of seawater erupted from the
marine riser onto the rig, shooting 240 ft into the air. This was soon followed
by the eruption of a slushy combination of mud, methane gas, and water. The gas
component of the slushy material quickly transitioned into a fully gaseous
state and then ignited into a series of explosions and then a firestorm. An
attempt was made to activate the blowout preventer, but it failed.
