Not quite as bad as I am describing but a more significant gas leak such as one caused by tectonic motion or an accident while drilling for oil/gas can be enough to capsize or even sink an oil rig/oil tanker. I remember reading about this somewhere but cannot find it any more. That said, just the toxic fumes from gas release should be enough to kill most of the crew. | |
