How did gulf of Mexico explode?
The Gulf of Mexico did not "explode," but a major disaster occurred in April 2010 when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig experienced a blowout. This blowout was caused by a failure in the well's cement casing, leading to a catastrophic explosion and fire on the rig. The incident resulted in the largest marine oil spill in history, releasing millions of barrels of crude oil into the Gulf over a period of 87 days. The disaster had severe environmental and economic impacts on the region.

How did the oil rig explode?
The Deepwater Horizon rig caught fire due to the uncontrollable flow of hydrocarbons (blow out) to the rig floor. There were a number of explosions on the rig, with the first explosions coming from the engine room, as the engines went out of control (reved at a high speed). Later explosions were most likely the result of large supplies of fuel onboard the rig. The rig ultimately sank as a result of the fire and explosions. The causes continue to be investigated. However, one critical factor for the blow out is likely to be the foamed cement used to cement in the final casing. Laboratory analysis has shown the cement formulation was unstable in some of the tests. Another factor is the failure of blow out preventers to close. See related link.
Why did the bp oil rig explode?
There were several explosions and the rig collapsed and sank. It is located at the bottom of the ocean. It sank to one side, and it is located over 1,000 ft from the wellhead, blow out preventers and marine riser. The marine riser disconnected from the rig and dropped to the sea floor. The oil initially was leaking from three locations: (1) A tear in he marine riser as it came out of the blow out preventer (2) the marine riser lying on the sea floor and (3) the drill pipe lying on the sea floor. Using the ROV's, a shut off valve was placed over the third leak.
