I remember that! They even had sonographs showing massive underwater landslides. Supposed to sink a ship in minutes or less, cause magnetic distrubances, ect.

Mystery solved, or so I thought.

I witnessed that phenomenon in my bathtub once.

It killed my rubber ducky.

They “found torch-like structures”? This is what comes from all these planet of the apes remakes. Monkeys riding horses. What’s next? Monkeys making movies? Oh.....that’s right.....Michael Moore......we’re doomed.

I think it is called Methyl Hydrate. It is supposedly a vast resource formed by pressure and temperature on the ocean floor. We could burn it for fuel, mining it like coal, as it is in the form of a solid. The reason we don’t, enviro’s say mining it would release greenhouse gases, and cause explosions that could rip the planet apart.....that is a no shi’iter.

I read about it, even a small change in pressure or temperature can cause it to go from a solid to a gas down on the sea floor. When they bring the stuff up it just sits there and sublimates until its gone, pretty neat stuff, like dry ice. They theorize that there is trillions of tons of that stuff around the world just sitting there waiting to boil up and kill us all if we look at it crosseyed. Me, I’m the gambling type that would mass mine it just to prove them wrong.

It had something to do with the instruments would stop working when the passed over the triangle. According to the Captain on our cruise last summer to this day no ships or planes fly over the triangle. The cruise ships pass around it.

Is there technology to capture methane plumes measuring over a kilometer?

No, we had the devil of a time capturing any part of the BP oil leak in the Gulf.

To get rid of the methane, strike a match. :)

Yes, it is like a dry ice. If burnt, it would leave minimal pollution, and there is enough to power the world for centuries. The problem is, if we could burn sea water, and power industry, the enviro’s would come out with “proof” that it was destroying the worlds ecosphere. The left and its EPA loving voters, want 6.5 billion people to disappear forever, and rid the planet of these ape/lice.

If we somehow (magically) discovered a perfectly clean and unlimited energy supply that would guarantee the atmosphere would remain pristine and still give us everything we wanted it would be devastating. Enviro-wackoes need to be very, very careful what they wish for, too much of any good thing can be bad usually.

If a damn one of the Climate Warmer scientists would be considered trustworthy, it sure would not be a Russian scientist. Maybe the Ruski ESP project grants ran out.

Such methane hydrate releases are not new, many think this is the root cause of any Bermuda Triangle ship sinkings and airplane disappearances.
