Bermuda Triangle Conspiracy

The Bermuda Triangle, located just underneath Florida, has taken the lives of dozens without a trace. There have been many shipwrecks, plane crashes, and disappearances in the Triangle. Therefore, it is believed that in this part of the Atlantic Ocean, the laws of physics do not occur (Bertrand).The Bermuda Triangle is 500,000 square miles of Atlantic Ocean. The three vertices that show us where the Triangle is located are Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Many theories have been proposed trying to scientifically explain this phenomenon.

One of possible explanations for this is the idea of Rogue Waves that sink large ships. Rogue waves are massive waves that occur in stormy conditions. This conjecture may explain the many of the shipwrecks,

Five marine corps, jets, and pilots on a training mission over the triangle allegedly reported seeing some strange visual activity, then disappeared without further communication. (Edwards) The next day, a search and rescue plane also disappeared. To this day, none of the six vanished planes or pilots have been found. The Triangle does not only swallow aircrafts, this 500,000 square mile patch of ocean has also effected ships. In recent times, a Britten Norman Islander vanished near the Windward Islands with eleven passengers aboard. This happened on December 15, 2008. To this day, these strange phenomenons still affect modern day pilots and

This theory appears to hold promise for at least some of the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. Scientists at Cardiff University have discovered the presence of large concentrations of methane gas trapped in the ocean floor. (Bertrand) Within seconds of a methane gas pocket rupturing, the gas surges up and erupts on the surface without warning. If a ship is in the area of the blowout, the water beneath it would suddenly become much less dense.This could cause the ship to sink and be quickly covered up by the sediment on the sea floor.

There is another common conjecture that suggests human error. Pilot disorientation is not uncommon when in in and aircraft. The Bermuda Triangle's tropical weather and crystal blue water make it prime aviation stomping ground for everyone from veteran pilots to Navy sailors to amateurs looking to play around. There's a lot of traffic in the area, and when you add in the turbulent weather patterns, swift currents and a landscape composed of a lot of similar-looking islands, it can be really easy to lose one's way. Once you're a little way off, it's only a few more wrong turns until you're really far
