I'll admit it. I'm skeptical about this scientific explanation of the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. Because of the loss of density, the buoyancy of the ship is affected and it sinks rapidly.
Scientists supposedly confirm that the area of the triangle is high in methane hydrates.
I will assume this is true, only because methane gas tends to float above the oil deposits. Indeed the one instance that tends to be reported most often is that of an oil rig sinking supposedly due to methane gas. As it is, I still remain skeptical of this explanation. It seems to me, this theory could easily be proven or disproven using a simple bunsen burner, a toy boat, and bathtub. I can see the sudden release of methane gas rocking a boat.
