   PER CURIAM:

Terry Robin and a group of persons asserting losses (“Plaintiffs”) as a result of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident sued Defendant rescue vessels and their owners and/or operators (“Defendants”) for economic damages and personal injuries allegedly incurred as a result of the incident. Plaintiffs asserted a claim for general maritime law negligence, a claim under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, and a negligence claim under Louisiana state law, alleging that Defendants’ negligence in attempting to extinguish the fire on the Deepwater Horizon ultimately caused the oil spill and Plaintiffs’ resulting damages. Specifically, Plaintiffs alleged that “[a]s a result of the flooding of the rig by the fireboats, the rig began to sink. When the rig turned and began to sink, the pipe connected to the wellhead collapsed and fell to the sea floor.” Further, they claimed that “[t]he actions of Defendants were independent of the fire and are separate and distinct causes of the resulting mega-spill of oil that continues to cause Plaintiffs’ damages.”

Defendants moved for a judgment on the pleadings under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) and 12(c). Pertinent to this appeal, the district court dismissed Plaintiffs’ general maritime law negligence claim on the ground that it did not state a plausible claim of foreseeability of the types of harm alleged. Alternatively, the district court concluded that all general maritime law negligence claims except those of Terry Robin, a commercial fisherman, and Rafael Lopez, Aiman Abdel, and Sergio Alvarado, personal-injury claimants, were also subject to dismissal under the rule announced in Robins Dry Dock & Repair Co. v. Flint, 275 U.S. 803, 48 S.Ct. 134, 72 L.Ed. 290 (1927), as articulated in Louisiana ex rel. Guste v. M/V Testbank, 752 F.2d 1019, 1021 (5th Cir.1985) (en banc) (limiting plaintiffs’ foreseeable injuries by finding that general economic losses absent physical injuries are unrecoverable). In re Oil Spill, 2011 WL 4829905, at *6 n. 10, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 117969, at *22 n. 10. We AFFIRM.

At the outset, we note that Plaintiffs failed to challenge this alternate holding in their opening brief. Accordingly, we conclude that any such challenge is waived. See R.R. Mgmt. Co. v. CFS La. Midstream Co., 428 F.3d 214, 220 n. 3 (5th Cir.2005) (noting that where appellant challenges only one alternate holding, argument that other holding was in error is waived). Under the alternate holding, however, the claims of Robin, Lopez, Ab-del, and Alvarado (“Remaining Plaintiffs”) remain, a point that Defendants do not challenge. Thus, we consider whether the dismissal on the pleadings as to the Remaining Plaintiffs was proper.

“We review de novo a district court’s ruling on a Rule 12(c) motion for judgment on the pleadings.” In re Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co., 624 F.3d 201, 209 (5th Cir.2010). “A motion under Rule 12(c) for failure to state a claim is subject to the same standards as a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6).” Id. at 209-10. To survive Defendants’ motion, Plaintiffs’ “complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Although the court must “accept all well-pleaded facts as true and construe the complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff ... [, it] do[es] not accept as true conclusory allegations, unwarranted factual inferences, or legal conclusions.” In re Great Lakes, 624 F.3d at 210 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).

We conclude that the district court correctly determined that the damages alleged by the Remaining Plaintiffs are too attenuated and distant from the alleged negligence of the Defendants to state a plausible claim of foreseeability, as required for proximate cause. As the district court stated:

In order to foresee such a result, the Defendants would have had to have anticipated that spraying water on the [mobile offshore drilling unit, i.e., the Deepwater Horizon ] would probably cause the vessel to capsize, and would probably cause the connecting pipe to collapse, and the blowout preventer would probably not control the flow of hydrocarbons, and the discharge would probably flow unabated for three months, and that oil would probably flow fifty miles inland. Moreover, as to those Claimants who assert physical injury damages from chemical dispersant, the harm is even further removed from Defendants’ scope of duty, given that the decision to use an allegedly toxic dispersant appears to have been made by parties other than Defendants....

In Re Oil Spill, 2011 WL 4829905, at *6, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 117969, at *20. We agree. Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
     
      
      . For a description of this incident, see the district court's opinion in this case, In re Oil Spill, MDL No. 2179 Section: J, 2011 WL 4829905, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 117969 (E.D.La. Oct. 12, 2011).
     
      
      . The plaintiffs allege that they were personally injured by exposure to dispersants.
     
      
      . The three personal-injury claimants do not allege otherwise. They claim to have been exposed to toxic dispersants used to control the oil spill that was, in turn, allegedly caused by Defendants. They do not allege that Defendants themselves used the toxic disper-sants.
