Discovery Channel and the Devils triangle.

The whole 'Devil's Triangle' story is a bunch of hoooy. Prolly dreamed
up by some Democrat to scare little children. The fact is; you can draw
a 'Devil's Triangle' on ANY stretch of navigable waters around the world
and chalk up dozens if not hundreds of 'unexplained' disappearences.
Now, if only Kerry would dissappear....

Did anyone happen to see the scientist on the Discovery Channel who has a
theory that the mystery of the Devils Triangle is methane bubbles? I
was only
watching it off and on and they did a demonstration where they pupmed
methane
gas all around under what appeared to be a 20' leisure boat. The boat
sank
very slowly in what appeared to be fairly calm water but I missed the
reason
they said the gas made it sink. Was it from fizzing water slowly
filling it or
what?



Water with a lot of bubbles in it provides less bouyant force, as it
is much less dense than pure water, causing the boat to seem heavier
than it is, even eliminating it's support almost completely.

Methane salts could kill all life on earth, if it were to all escape
at once, or properly exploited could save us from the energy crunch.
They exist abundantly all over the place. The Devil's triangle is
heavily travelled ,and like main highways, offer more opportunity
for mishaps like driver went to sleep and crashed, etc.

High concentrations of methane in atmosphere displace oxygen,
causing flame outs and deadly blackouts. Methane is less dense than
air and can reduce the lift of wings in flight.

Is it any wonder, really?
