Bermuda Triangle

[Madmax]

Deep somewhere, in the northwestern region of the Atlantic Ocean, perhaps there exists a supernatural energy that engulfs massive bodies that come in contact with it.

What are your thoughts.

Bermuda Triangle, region of the western Atlantic Ocean that has become associated in the popular imagination with mysterious maritime disasters. Also known as the Devil's Triangle, the triangle-shaped area covers about 1,140,000 sq km (about 440,000 sq mi) between the island of Bermuda, the coast of southern Florida, and Puerto Rico.

Kusche came to several conclusions:

• The number of ships and aircraft reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than in any other part of the ocean. In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur were, for the most part, neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious; furthermore, Berlitz and other writers would often fail to mention such storms.
  The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat listed as missing would be reported, but its eventual (if belated) return to port may not be reported.
  Some disappearances had in fact, never happened. One plane crash was said to have taken place in 1937 off Daytona Beach, Florida, in front of hundreds of witnesses; a check of the local papers revealed nothing.

Kusche concluded that:

• The Legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery ... perpetuated by writers who either purposely or unknowingly made use of misconceptions, faulty reasoning, and sensationalism.

So you mean ET is not involved at all in the disappearances. :shock:

The Bermuda Triangel mystery has been solved a few years back! in mid 90's, saw a great episode on it in Discovery channel.

There are pockets of methane gas emanating from the ocean floor, methane is lighter than air, therefore when ships hit these methane gas bubbles/pockets they sink. When airplanes fly over this area, they lose lift because of methane being lighter than air, planes are designed to fly in air , not methane.

I think I saw the same show, it was cool. Was this the one where they did the simulation in the tank and showed one of these methane pockets could flip a cargo ship in two minutes?

That's the one!, aha you're a nerd girl!

LOL...oh no, my secret's out.

Soooooo, the earth lets one rip like a guy in an elevator and the planes fall down.
"Publications by the USGS describe large stores of undersea hydrates worldwide, including the Blake Ridge area, off the southeastern United States coast. However, according to another of their papers, no large releases of gas hydrates are believed to have occurred in the Bermuda Triangle for the past 15,000 years"
