For some context, an undersea methane eruption is one of the leading contendors for the cause of the Permian Mass Extinction (which preceded the dinosaurs) which killed 90% of life as the worst mass extinction event ever. It could be happening on a much smaller scale in the Gulf of Mexico right now.
