NASA said:A black hole is an area of such immense gravity that nothing—not even light—can escape from it.

Space Place in a Snap tackles this fascinating question!
Space said:Located around 10,000 light-years from Earth with a mass of around eight suns, the black hole component of MAXI J1820+070 is pulling material from its stellar companion while blasting out twin jets at around 80% the speed of light; it's also producing strong X-ray emissions.

Right again, Einstein! Scientists find where matter 'waterfalls' into black holes
"Think of it like a river turning into a waterfall — hitherto, we have been looking at the river. This is our first sight of the waterfall."

The conundrum is:
How is the black hole spewing those massive twin jets if 'Nothing can escape from a black hole, not even light' ???
Those jets simply should not exist if that was true.
