Pantelo later shared another image with a caption that read: “So there’s literally green slime coming out of the ground next to the World Trade Center right now.”

The slimy liquid leaking onto the streets is a trace of paint, the Independent reports. Authorities often use it to spot leaks in low-light situations like underground pipes or sewers.

What did X users say about this ‘green slime’ incident?
“This is insane… looks like a scene from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” user X posted. “The lines between reality and fiction are blurring more and more every day,” added another.
“It is a paint or marker used by utility or municipal workers. These dyes can be used to identify and monitor the flow of water or other fluids, helping to locate leaks, blockages or other problems in underground systems,” a third joined. “The Ninja Turtles probably did something to save the world,” wrote a fourth.
