What about a flowback?where the flames follow the gas down into the methane pocket causing an explosian?
-
@mattphat23 : I think the same applies to lighting a bottle filled with gas. It needs the right mixture of gas and air (oxygen) to become explosive.
Since the lake is probably stuffed with lots of methane (which is obviously under pressure, because it would not come out of a hole drilled in the ice) air just can't get under the ice.

@mattphat23 probly not unless it was mixed with the right proportion of oxygen under the ice...then it could go boom

@erniewilson1 The earth's survived a lot worse. So has life on this little insignificant rock.
-
what if by igniting it, a huge methane bubble was ignited resulting in a huge, deathly explosion. is this not possible?
-
"Concentration, flux, age.."
Flux? - what the fuck?
-
dont know about that,, but by law a chemical substance similar to sulfuric acid is added to methane to make people aware of it when its exposed
-
Just wait until enough oxygen can make its way inside a pocket with the methane, at first you'll have flame...
hmmmm that is amaizing, get closer!
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!
Dead

Um. Im sorry. But at this point, the implications of this footage are flat out, fucking horrifying.
Not to be an alarmist or anything...

True, methane is odorless. However, the same natural process that releases methane also releases sulfuric gases, which do smell like rotten eggs.
