Can anyone outthere explain to me cause of disappearances of ships and airplanes in the Bermuda Triangle?

Question

My little oblongata has wondered wide in ponder over the documented missings of ships and airplanes within the Bermuda Triangle. Is it a reality or just a myth? And what do you think is there both above and under?

Answer 1

Actually, the most recent scientific explanation for this is "Rogue Waves." I read this in a recent article in the Science Times section of the NYTimes. I will try to find the article for you.

But, basically, due to the geography of this area, the water temperature, wind currents & importantly ocean currents, this area is more prone to huge Rogue waves (which can often be 60-100 ft in height and can occur even with normal (i.e. non-stormy) weather patterns. (and with no warning). They have recently installed some monitoring devices in these areas to try to warn ships/cruisers that travel in these areas.

Edit: These articles should help you + they have some cool pictures.

No doubt you have wondered about the Bermuda Triangle. It is the greatest
modern mystery of our supposedly well understood world: a region of the Atlantic
Ocean between Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, where disappearances of ships and planes not only continue but continue to defy explanation.

The ships had not been captured at all descending or falling to the sea. Frankly, it had just vanished while climbing; it simply faded away. the ships tanker and its qualified crew met a horrid and sudden death by crashing headlong into the sea.

For instance, no more than a few disappearances of airplanes have been reported in the last 2 decades, yet mystery has struck with skillful hands. Searches of the database of National Transportation Safety Board reveal some 75 aircraft have gone missing. Projecting Coast Guard statistics on missing boats is truly mind boggling, perhaps reaching over 2,000.

Statistically, the Bermuda Triangle doesn't have any more missing ships or planes than any other part of the worlds oceans. The Bermuda Triangle is a fairly modern convention created, I believe I remember correctly, in the 1960's by a new person who wanted to give his story some extra punch.

Answer 4

Having been to the triangle many circumstances.Seeing only different exhilaration craft and commercial site visitors.with none of it disappearing.i'm questioning no.Ships and planes disappear on the comparable value there as the different spot.The fishing and diving there could be extra advantageous nonetheless.there is countless that.i think of this place has a bad and undeserved rap.how many ships and rigs have been taken out by utilising rogue waves?i'm asking because of the fact I spend a great number of time on the Atlantic.

Answer 5

The weather in the Bermuda triangle can get very rough and change and develop very quickly, often unpredictably. In the past, before the advent of current weather monitoring and reporting systems, mariners and aviators would get caught in rough weather they had no way of knowing about, leading them to get caught in the weather and sink or crash.

Because in the past such mariners or aviators had no way to contact anyone else to send out reliable distress signals, people chalked their disappearances up as "mysterious" because they never knew what happened to them.

Modern weather monitoring and reporting have significantly removed the uncertainty of weather in the Bermuda Triangle, leading to less "mysterious disappearances." Ships and aircraft have real time weather updates, and can chart courses to avoid bad weather. They also have better communication systems to send out distress signals in the event they do get caught in bad weather.

Answer 6

I heard it had something to do with the magnetic fields emanating from that part of the earth. That and the hot water amisdt the colder water, causing buoyanacy issues with ships.

Answer 7

Because that area is prone to storms, and has many coral reefs. All naturally occuring explanations. As far as above and below...air above, water below.

Answer 8

You ask if it is a reality or just a myth. Since you haven't researched it enough to answer that, we can just dismiss your whole question by saying it is a myth.
