This is from a series they did called "Mega Disasters" and is quite dramatic, but does discuss the dangers of underwater methane leaks for those interested in the potential issue we could be seeing in the gulf. This is NOT specific to Deepwater Horizon, just a general discussion about methane leaking from the sea.

1. Fear Porn, pure and simple. There are real dangers, extremely serious ones, related to...

...the BP oil disaster. But this video is so wildly off the charts I think it arguably hurts awareness of the dangers rather than raises awareness.

2. I wouldn't be so sure.

Methane is spewing from that well head along with oil.

3. Did you watch the entire video before making that comment? If not....

...please do and then let me know if you change your opinion on its value. This video came up a week or two ago and while I felt it had some merit when I started watching, the part where Florida is entirely destroyed is a convenient marker that the video has become unhinged.

At least in my opinion.

4. Did I or did I not note that this had NOTHING to do with BP, but was about the dangers of seaborn

methane?
