Discovery Channel and the Devils triangle.

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?

It's a combination of loss of surface tension and lack of water
density to support any type of weight.

One of the big fears of gas platforms is a well head blowout - there
have been instances of entire platforms and 100 foot service boats
sinking during one of these events.
