Mmmmmmmmmmm...your video concerns a special circumstance which has indeed occured in several lakes in Africa, which events are in no way similar to what is going on in the Gulf of Mexico. The methane discharge in these lakes resulted from decomposition of vegetable and other organic matter combined with the phenomena known as inversion. The lake literally tips over iwth the old bottom becoming the top. The effects of the methane cloud on any life within its range was the same though and inversion can also occur involving carbon dioxide instead of methane.
