anyone know much about the Bermuda Triangle?

Question

I mean it's pretty wierd! Iwonder where the people go?!

Answer 1

I USED TO HAVE A GREAT BOOK ON IT, BUT........................ IT DISAPPEARED........

Answer 2

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle) is a nearly half-million square-mile (1.2 million km2) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Bermuda Triangle has become popular through representation by the mass media, in which it is a paranormal site in which the known laws of physics are violated and altered.

While there is a common belief that a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in this region, the United States Coast Guard and others disagree with that assessment, citing statistics demonstrating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world [1]. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.

The triangle is an arbitrary shape, crudely marking out a corridor of the Atlantic Ocean, stretching northward from the West Indies, along the North American seaboard, as far as the Carolinas. In the Age of Sail, ships returning to Europe from parts south would sail north to the Carolinas, then turn east for Europe, taking advantage of the prevailing wind direction across the North Atlantic. Even with the development of steam and internal-combustion engines, a great deal more shipping traffic was (and still is) found nearer the US coastline than towards the empty centre of the Atlantic. The Triangle also loosely conforms with the course of the Gulf Stream as it leaves the West Indies, and has always been an area of volatile weather. The combination of distinctly heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather meant that a certain, also distinctly large, number of vessels would founder in storms. Given the historical limitations of communications technology, most of those ships that sank without survivors would disappear without a trace. The advent of wireless communications, radar, and satellite navigation meant that the unexplained disappearances largely ceased at some point in the 20th Century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace.

Answer 3

Actually, not really weird...

Science may have found an explanation - giant gas bubbles. They know that, periodically, gas is released from under the ocean floor in massive amounts...these gas bubbles travel to the surface, where they exhaust into the atmosphere. Studies with firswt scale models and then full sized boats have shown that if a boat happens to be near or directly over one of these releases - it will sink and it will sink FAST - no time to give warning. Similarily, if a plane flies through the gas cloud, a couple of things can happen - because methane is "lighter" than air, our altimeter would read that you are rapidly climbing - a natural instinct then would be to push the plane down, causing you to crash into the ocean. Also, they shown that the methane can actually shut down the planes motor.....fuel needs oxygemn to burn, and methane replacing oxygen would short out the motors...

So, the people go to the bottom of the ocean floor.

Answer 4

Many people will claim to know much about the Bermuda Triangle. The problem lies in what you want to believe about what they claim. It's easy to give in to those who would claim supernatural events or alien involvement...even easier to believe those who try to blind you with psuedo-scientific crap (excuse me) about giant air bubbles and magnetic disturbances. The hardest part is to be skeptical and to use critical thinking skills in realizing that when you have a very busy shipping area combined with often-adverse weather conditions, you're going to have a fair number of disappearances. As noted by another answer, the "unexplained" disappearances are becoming fewer and fewer as technology advances. That's a big clue right there.

Answer 5

Anything I know is that it makes your compass go crazy and stops satellites transmission,another rumor is that the ship or plane runs out of gas strangely explain mostly from gas leak and then a giant squid comes and takes down the ship or plain, a UFO, or a giant laser comes in exactly the same shape of the Bermuda Triangle.About the compass and satellite, it the magnetic of the earth collides.

Answer 6

It is on the zero line of our earths ground grid. Just peruse any pilot charts and you will see the magnetic deviation lines that are used for flight planning for compass headings. There are deviations shown on the maps and the zero line runs through that area.Compasses are always inaccurate in that area because of the relationship of the ground node there and the aether not being able to easily ground through the water.The node there is the size of the one in Sedona Az.,by the way.

Answer 7

bermuda triabgle have a link with egyptian pyramid because digital appliances does not work at both of these places and because magnetic field is more stronger on these places than on any other place on earth.

Answer 8

It is just a fairy tail

Answer 9

yes someone does

Answer 10

i'ts weird
