Answer 1

Bermuda Triangle solved?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://kjmatthews.users.btopenworld....roduction.html

this is a quote from Lawrence Kusche, a reference librarian at Arizona State University... results of his research in the Bermuda Triangle (The Bermuda Triangle mystery — solved, New English Library) 1975>quoted from above site:

"No theory so far proposed has been able to account satisfactorily for all or even most of the incidents. It has been suggested that to solve the mystery once and for all the area should be closed for a time to allow the government to send in remote-controlled vessels with monitoring equipment that would detect unusual phenomena. It has also been suggested that clairvoyants be called in to give their impressions of forces at work.

Such measures are not necessary.
research, which began as an attempt to find out as much information as possible about the Bermuda Triangle, had an unexpected result. After examining all the evidencereached the following conclusion: There is no theory that solves the mystery. It is no more logical to try to find a common cause for all the disappearances in the Triangle than, for example, to try to find one cause for all automobile accidents in Arizona. By abandoning the search for an overall theory and investigating each incident independently, the mystery began to unravel...

...The Legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery. It began because of careless research and was elaborated upon and perpetuated by writers who either purposely or unknowingly made use of misconceptions, faulty reasoning, and sensationalism. It was repeated so many times that it began to take on the aura of truth."Yes, it is starting to appear that this is the true Bermuda Triangle Story. A few genuinely unsual disappearances were spun into a legend. The oversight has been that a few very unusual disappearances did happen. These disappearances were a hint at the dangers to shipping and oil drilling that large deposits of methyl hydroxide [methyl hydrate?] can pose. [I think this is the proper salt form found in the ocean floor]. When water hits a layer of this salt, a tremendous amount of gas can be generated. At least one oil platform hit one of these deposits while drilling and the platform was lost.

It is now suggested that an event of this type can be so large that it can have global effects. I will try to find some previously referenced links a little later.

Answer 2

No,however explanations have been hypothesized:

The Bermuda Triangle covers approximately 500,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean.

One explanation for some of the disappearances has focused on the presence of vast fields of methane hydrates on the continental shelves.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.

Compass problems are one of the cited phrases in many Triangle incidents; it is possible that people operating boats and aircraft looked at a compass that they felt wasn't pointing north, veered course to adjust, and got lost quickly.

Hurricanes may also be a reason for some of the disappearances. These storms have in the past caused a number of incidents related to the Triangle.

Also the Gulf Stream may be responsible for some of the disappearances.he Gulf Stream is an ocean current which flows out of the Gulf of Mexico, then north through the Florida Straits on into the North Atlantic. In essence, it is a river within an ocean, and like a river, it can and does carry floating objects with it. A small plane making a water landing, or a boat having engine trouble will be carried away from its reported position by the current, as has happened to the cabin cruiser Witchcraft on December 22, 1967, when it reported engine trouble near the Miami buoy marker one mile from shore, but wasn't there when a Coast Guard cutter arrived.

Those who do not believe in the Bermuda Triangle mystery argue that the facts do not support the legend, that there is no mystery to be solved, and nothing that needs explaining.The number of wrecks in this area is not extraordinary, given its size, location and the amount of traffic it receives. Many of the ships and planes that have been identified as having disappeared mysteriously in the Bermuda Triangle were not in the Bermuda Triangle at all. These skeptics assert that investigations to date have not produced scientific evidence of any unusual phenomena involved in the disappearances.

Answer 3

Yes. No mystery ever. Just a bunch of really bad books and a lot of silly people buying them. The area described as the Bermuda Triangle is no more or less safe than any other highly traveled area with similar risks.

Answer 4

I guess a few ships disappeared there in a short time and so the people took it as if any ship going there would be met with the same fate.If any boats or ships would have sank there today it would be an international news but I have never heard of something like that happening. So it is just a rumour.

Answer 5

It is just one of the worst areas in the world for weather.

Answer 6

elvis needs boats

Answer 7

No
