Hog farms and dairy farms have been collecting methane from the manure lagoons since the seventies. They heat hot water and run heaters from it.

Take a quart jar and put it under water in a pond or lage and wade around catching the bubbles. The bubbles force the water out leaving you pure methane. It burns real cool. Might I say " country boy will survive"? Put jar lid on while jar is inverted under water and your gas is contained.

Wow, that seems like some poorly controlled venting. BTW, raw propane is odorless and also is denser than regular air.

Something you do not see every day.
I bet the waters would rise here also.

Frog farts lol I questioned it also. Isnt propane given an additive so you can smell it? Like Natural gas? This is all I could find on the story.
It looked like a vision of hell, if hell was a golf course. Muddy bubbling water churning several feet in the air at a golf course Wednesday in Lampton Shores, Ont., was clearly no regular water hazard. Jamie Reitknecht, who posted the dramatic spectacle on YouTube, said it “smelled like propane.” He wasn't far off. Police said a gas pocket under the pond next to Indian Hills Golf Club caused the frightening scene, and that it was a natural event rather than a leak. They closed the road to all but local traffic until the thing ran its course. The Ministry of Natural Resources dispatched a team of investigators to the scene to make sure there was no harm to passersby. Reitknecht said the gas was even visible in the air. “Right above the green, there's a haze that looks like a gas,” he said in the video.

People yall are getting methane and propane mixed up. Natural fermentation releases methane in the pond or lagoon or lake. Propane is from fossil fuels. Organic methane is produced everyehere.

That is what happens when you don't: Drill baby, Drill!
Erosion will sooner or later release all gas and oil to the surface. Methane releases in the Bermuda Triangle is what has supposedly sank all those ships and downed aircraft.

The original video narration referred to propane. That was what I was referencing. I doubt that a natural build-up release would last that long or be that big so someone could take time and video it.

I read somewhere about large lakes that burp some kind of gas or co2 that kills people and animals around it from lack of oxygen. I think I would have left the scene of the accident. The one where I ran over everybody. Jim

At least no one saw a Nurfengerfer! That would be scary.

We call them Nurfengerfers others call them Snarfers, A person who farts in a body of water then eats the fart bubble on its way up. Erik was a snarfer because he ate is own fart in a pool. That is the active state of Nurfengerfering. Harold is a Nurfengerfer. Then it is a verb.
