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 aircraft 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 were mostly neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious.
-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.
-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..

An explanation for some of the disappearances 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 aircraft crashes, as it is not as dense as normal air and thus would not generate the amount of lift required to keep the aircraft flying. Low levels of methane have also been shown to cause an aircraft engine to stall when added to the intake of air.

the secret isn't time-commemorated - that's what the Bermuda Triangle is time-commemorated for. the area is shrouded in secret, and scientists are nevertheless pondering the coincidences that are too suspicious to bypass up. airplane and ships have been time-commemorated to vanish there, supposedly utilising actuality of freak storms or particular geographical occurrences. The precise-enjoyed Amelia Earhart replaced into very final heard of in basic terms till finally now she flew her airplane into the area.
