Rainboe,

I have had with your holier than thou attitude. God forbid anyone have
a different point of view than yourself.
There is indeed footage of the sea turning to bubbles, 1981 off the
North Sea that nearly sunk a oil well platform. If you will care to research
the prothesis, you will find that indeed an sudden release of air bubbles can
indeed cause a ship to be swamped, in fact there is a video of an Australian
war ship being sunk by an explosion well underneath of a torpedo that caused a massive air bubble to arise. This broke the ship in half causing it
to explode and sink rapidly. Perhaps you need to open your mind to a scientific approach instead a closed minded Rainboe approach.
It is a fact there are numerous gas vents on the ocean floor, they can indeed release a huge amount of gas or air at one time, and if a ship happens to be in the area, it can cause the ship to break in half or be swamped. The gas, air cloud does indeed rise, my question was if it was a huge enough cloud, could it pose a "whole in the air" similar to as described as when hitting
CAT.
