No. Methane gas is heavier than air so it has no way to get to an altitude that would effect an aircraft, unless it was flying very low.

Other theories are that the Methane could stall an engine, but I'm not sure about that scenario.

Well yes, it does make sense (even if its highly unlikely) If the methane concentrations were thick enough, it would starve the engine of oxygen needed for combustion, making it stall.
Like I said, unlikely but thats the theory thats been proposed.
The sinking ship, is less of a theory, as experiments show that the Methane could sink ships.

Has there ever been a case of a fire or explosion being triggered by the natural build up of methane seeping from sewers?
I cant recall any myself but there are many cases of entire blocks being destroyed by natural gas seeping from
a broken underground pipe leaking through the sewer system.
One that comes to mind was in Mexico I believe.edit on 12/26/2012 by Juggernog because: (no reason given)

So I have noticed from time to time that on RSOE EDIS there will all of a sudden be plane crashes.

However I never really see them scatter throughout days. They appear to be all at one time.
Do they update this instantly? Or is the data taken in and then added all in one day?
Dear Visitors,
Let me introduce our services. The Hungarian National Association of Radio Distress-Signalling and Infocommunications (RSOE) operates Emergency and Disaster Information Service (EDIS) within the frame of its own website which has the objective to monitor and document all the events on the Earth which may cause disaster or emergency. Our service is using the speed and the data spectrum of the internet to gather information. We are monitoring and processing several foreign organisation's data to get quick and certified information.
The EDIS website operated together by the General-Directorate of National Disaster Management (OKF) and RSOE, in co-operation with the Crisis Management Centre of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, provides useful information regarding emergency situations and their prevention. Extraordinary events happening in Hungary, Europe and other areas of the World are being monitored in 24 hours per day. All events processed by RSOE EDIS are displayed near real time - for the sake of international compatibility - according to the CAP protocol on a secure website (hisz.rsoe.hu...). To ensure clear transparency all events are categorized separately in the RSS,XML, CAP directory (e.g. earthquake, fire, flood, landslide, nuclear event, tornado, vulcano). RSOE EDIS also contributes in dissemination of the CAP protocol in Hungary.
Beside the official information, with the help of special programs nearly 9-1000 internet press publications will be monitored and the publication containing predefined keywords will be processed. However, these "news" cannot be considered as official and reliable information, but many times we have learnt critical information from the internet press. We are screening the incoming information and storing in a central database sorted by category.
