NEW ORLEANS -- BP says a fire believed caused by lightning has shut down a system capturing oil from a gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico.

BP PLC said the fire was spotted around 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday on a drill ship called the Discoverer Enterprise. The fire was quickly extinguished.

BP says were no injuries, and all procedures were followed and, as a precaution, a system siphoning oil from a containment cap above the well was shut-do

Is this possible?

Well, lightning is attracted to high things, and it is pretty high out there in the middle of the Gulf.  Yeah, it's possible.
