Wow! They were so lucky having their all-powerful mayor right at the scene to exclude any possibility of foul play. That guy really saved the city!

Emphasis mine:

A gas pipeline has exploded in southwest Moscow sending flames 200m into the air and setting buildings and cars ablaze.

Holy shit, surely that's a typo and is supposed to be in feet, no way...

Or even 20m, instead. Even under pressure, 200 foot high flames seems a bit of a stretch...

They don't measure things in feet over there.

200m is bout a 60 story building. That is a lot of flame.

I have a hard time imagining something on the ground burning a flame that high, but if a huge volume of gas is erupting upwards, the flame doesn't have to originate on the ground. It might take the time to rise that high before all the unburned gas in the plume is consumed. it would be a big ball of gas rising into the air burning as it rose. of course the broken main would continue to supply more.

Of course that is all just me in my head.
