Your take on the Bermudga Triangle?

Question

Do you believe there is something mysterious that was/is going on at the Bermuda Triangle and the Devil's Triangle? What's your theory on it?

Answer 1

I used to live in it (Miami), there's enough booze flowing down there to make you believe anything

Answer 2

I think a lot of people have been fascinated by the bermuda Triangle/Devil's Triangle theory and concept. It's mysterious and other worldly to a degree.

I don't believe it is somethin supernatural, I am positive it is natural in all forms and is just a misnomer of oddness. I remember quite a bit of outlandish stories growin' up in Florida. All the way from Scooby Doo UFOs and ancient Atlantian technology based on crystals to the actual Devil attempting to sever communication between US and Europe. They are way to far fetched for me to believe. I understand and recognize the gas pocket theory, which as I recall from the Discovery Channel has a truth behind it. Pockets of volcanic activity leave gasses under the ground in subteranean caves, much like on land. When the pressure becomes too much the pockets errupt and with the force of gravity and pressure behind it rise to the surface. It makes sense and seems to be the most logical answer.

There was a point in time when Lords of London and other ship insurance companies would notinsure any ships passing through that area of the Atlantic, in fear of past where ships disappeared and feared sunk. it was a business ploy to save the payment of insurance monies....much like homes on Florida beaches will not find flood damage and wind damage in the same package of home owners insurance.

Kusche's The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved

Kusche's research revealed a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies between Berlitz's accounts and statements from eyewitnesses, participants and others involved in the initial incidents. He noted cases where pertinent information went unreported, such as the disappearance of round-the-world yachtsman Donald Crowhurst which Berlitz had presented as a mystery, despite clear evidence that Crowhurst had fabricated the accounts of his voyage and had probably committed suicide. Another example was the ore-carrier Berlitz recounted as lost without trace three days out of an Atlantic port when it had been lost three days out of a port with the same name in the Pacific Ocean. Kusche also argued that a large percentage of the incidents attributed to the Bermuda Triangle's mysterious influence actually occurred well outside it.

Kusche came to several conclusions:

* The number of ships and airplanes reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than any other part of the ocean.
* In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur was neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious.
* The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat listed as missing would be reported, but not necessarily its eventual, if belated, return to port.
* The circumstances of confirmed disappearances were frequently misreported in Berlitz's accounts. The numbers of ships disappearing in supposedly calm weather, for instance, did not tally with weather reports published at the time.

Answer 4

I believe that it is just a lot of press over nothing. It is in the Gulf Stream, so there are very strong currents in the area, and the number of islands in the area make boats a practical way to get around. So you take a much larger than average number of boats in a small section of the ocean where strong currents are located, and you will have more wrecks. Simple math.

Answer 5

The only thing I think thats wierd that goes on their is the problem with navigational devices like compasses. So ships and planes get off course and crash. Thank goodness for GPS now. No more problems like that! The landmass magnetism is what causes the devices to go whacko.

Answer 6

It's a strong magnetic force. My Grandfather flew over it (he lived in South America for a while and flew his plane back and fourth from there to the U.S.) and all the instruments that give u readings like altitude, gas levels, etc.. went all crazy. (He didn't go down or anything thank God.) It's no mystery.

Answer 7

There is a large concentration of under water gas from those underwater geysors. sumthin like dat. Proven Fact! these gases rise and are powerful enough to flip large ships and distort transmission

Answer 8

I have two veiws

1. A strong magnetic force exists, caused by a natural occurance

2. The Gov't did it as testing of war weaponry

Answer 9

Magnetic anomolies combined with methane releases from the botttom of the ocean

Answer 10

I believe it started out as a myth and it accumulated to more.
