I don't think that they will ever really solve it. At one point they thought that it had something to do with a spot in the center of the area that was randomly letting gases out of the earth and if messes up electronics. Which is way they thought that planes were disappearing. There is also and another place that is the same somewhere off the coast of Japan.

The mystery was explained by a documentary shown on the History Channel. Methane Gas. End of mystery. No more superstitions. I am glad that this topic has its closure. Honestly, the more us humas dwell on unsolved mysteries, the more fantasy comes into play. Once people actually believe the fantasies, then it becomes a cult. Projecting this further, over time the cult becomes a religion with actual followers and leading people astray from what is really true. God wants us to understand and learn about our environment, that is why he gave us the means to analyse, theorize and experiment. This is where all the studies in sciences congregate and are part of a collective memory. God wants us to have a logical and creative mind, not the one that worships a superstition and creates false gods.
Otherwise we will be back the way some of the indians used to do when there was a total eclipse, by shooting arrows at it with hopes that it will not destroy the earth.

It wasn't faked per se, but many of the disappearances were exaggerated and misreported. I don't believe there was a wilful desire to mislead anyone.
There's an interesting explanation for some of the disappearances. It focuses on the presence of vast fields of methane hydrates on the continental shelves. A paper was published in 1981 by the United States Geological Survey about the appearance of hydrates in the Blake Ridge area, off the southeastern United States coast. Periodic methane eruptions may produce regions of frothy water that are no longer capable of providing adequate buoyancy for ships. If this were the case, such an area forming around a ship could cause it to sink very rapidly and without warning. Laboratory experiments have proven that bubbles can, indeed, sink a scale model ship by decreasing the density of the water.
Hypothetically, methane gas might also be involved in airplane crashes, as it is not as dense as normal air and thus would not generate the amount of lift required to keep the airplane flying. Low levels of methane have also been shown to cause an aircraft engine to stall when added to the intake of air.

The Bermuda Triangle is not fake. There are several theories about what is happening. The history channel ran a documentary about Flight 19. They should have it in their archives at historychannel.com.
Discoverychannel.com also has some information. The idea that there have been massive releases of methane gas makes sense. but it is still a theory and hasn't been proven, yet.

The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle isn't really mystery because nothing is wrong there.

The Bermuda Triangle has a comparable rate of maritime and aerial incidents as any other similar sized region of the ocean. Lloyd's of London, a world-renowned insurer of maritime vessels, does not charge a higher insurance premium for ships that regularly traverse the triangle.

According to Lloyd's of London insurance records, practically all of the strange disappearances have a logical explanation. Also the triangle reportings range from almost Iceland, through most of the Atlantic Ocean, so the BT. is VERY broadly defined.

Not really solved. But there are some interesting and plausible theories. pockets of methane gas that erupt form the sea floor, displace the water beneath boats and cause them to sink rapidly.. The gas also interferes with the operation of engines in planes and boats and renders people unconscious quickly ( causing boats and planes to crash.) Also there is a fairly well documented amount of magnetic interference that makes navigation difficult.

If you take into account the huge number of vessels that transit that area, to the number of vessels lost, the number is a actually lower than other areas around the world with that much traffic.

Still a mystery. Watch more Discovery.
