Part 4: Methane Explosion
Produced naturally by many biological processes (digestion, decay, etc.) and collected naturally in
natural gas fields and undersea basins, methane has proven to be a useful source of energy. Yet it
is conceivable that this noxious, naturally-occurring gas has the capacity to destroy modern
civilization. Theories suggest that gigantic eruptions of methane gas from deep in the ocean have
occurred regularly throughout history. Mega Disasters reconstructs just what such a horrifying event
would be like. Even a small explosion in the mid-Pacific would create wave after wave of tsunamis,
wiping out Hawaii and much of the West Coast. Hellish clouds of methane and water would burn across
the skies, floods would annihilate inland regions, and most plant life would be destroyed.
