Another Craptastic post ;)
Patiently waiting for confirmation. If this is true an unchecked runaway methane volcano would be serious doom.

Thanks!

I have done some mild research. Methane is very common with oil deposits. Oil deposits under oceans, seas, ect contain more methane from the sea floor. The deeper the oil deposit, the more ocean life above that starts the process of methane generation and falls to the sea floor. Deeper deposits had more time to generate methane gases.

The oil released into the Gulf has an orange color. I am looking into that as I believe it may indicate a saturation of some sort. Could excessive methane create an orange color slick?

I'll post more when I find it. Anyone else who has info please report. As a massive methane release would spell Biblical Doom.

Imagine if a methane bomb running 600 miles in diameter were to explode. The shockwave would circle the Earth several times. The entire world would hear it and many will face deadly over pressure. Those in between will have blown out, bloody ears.



Back when I was a kid in Oklahoma, whenever we drove by an oil site, there was always a plume of fire where they were burning off the (?)methane. If they are really venting lots of methane, they need to clear the area and release a fire bomb or whatever they have, so it won't grow so large and then explode. A steady burn is much better than a large explosion. (for the retards who say that it won't burn underwater, you are correct. burn it at the surface)

Gas used to be so cheap back in the 50's that lots of people kept a gas yard light burning 24x7. Back when gasoline got down to 19cents a gallon, milk was about 25cents a gallon and a carton of sigs were less than $2. (he mumbles to himself) and some places sold 8 to 10 hamburgers for a buck on 29th street in OKC...before there was a Sonic.
