Methane Bubbles Could Sink Ships
An anonymous reader writes "Joseph J Monaghan and David May, of Australia's Monash University, have proposed a novel theory for Bermuda-Triangle-like disappearance of ships at sea: They were swallowed in giant methane bubbles released by undersea vents. Monaghan & May point to sonar of a ship wreck that's sitting in the center of a known methane eruption site, and they've developed a mathematical model that predicts how an eruption could take down a ship. Hey, we ain't talkin' bovine flatulence here..."
So you're saying that deep under the sea, in the Bermuda Triangle, lies hordes of mutant water-breathing, ship-sinking killer farting cows ?

Thank god there are no ships cruising around in my bathtub. They'd sink pretty soon when all those methane bubbles would hit them.
That's just want the cia-funded alien-descended atlantians WANT you to believe!
It's 10 PM. Do you know if you're un-American?
Perhaps he is innocent(of this form of treatment plant utilization) and didn't really think it through.
;-)
Or...
He HAS utilized a plant this way, has also utilized other disposal "methods", is speaking from experience, and he's trying to cover himself.
If the former, then he should be modded up as "interesting".
If the latter, then he should be modded up as "informative".
Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.

I, for one, welcome our new flatulent ship-eating overlords.
Downmodding is the refuge of the weak. Don't downmod, make a better argument!
Uh, don't you mean:
Unfortunately, in this case, it's more like:
1. Giant undersea release of methane or any other gas bubbles upward.
2. ???
3. Loss.
