In 1981 geochemist, Richard Mclver went public with his view on the Bermuda Triangle myth. His reason behind all the disappearances is methane gas hydrate. The link between the Bermuda Triangle and methane gas hydrate are landslides that takes place north of the Bermuda Triangle on the North American continental shelf. Such landslides can bring down large boulders that rupture the layer of gas hydrate beneath the sea floor. This frees the gas beneath the hydrate cap and also frees the methane that is within the hydrate itself. When a methane gas pocket ruptures it sends gas to the surface of the water. If a ship gets caught in the is surge of gas it can be taken down in moments because the water becomes less dense causing the ship to sink.
