Is bermuda triangle mystery solved?

Similar questions: bermuda triangle mystery solved.

Not solved yet, but many theories exist There is book claiming it was "solved" but there is a lot of discussion about that. You can read about some of the famous dissapearances at the link, and I am cuttign in the history from that page that details some of the "explainations". It really is a fascinating area!

StoryThe cover of the 1977 Panthers paperback edition of Berlitz's The Bermuda TriangleEnlargeThe cover of the 1977 Panthers paperback edition of Berlitz's The Bermuda TriangleChristopher Columbus mentioned sightings of strange-looking animals near the border of the now designated "Bermuda Triangle", reporting that he and his crew observed "strange dancing lights on the horizon". On another occasion they observed what was most likely a falling meteor.2 At another point he wrote in his log about bizarre compass bearings in the area. The first documented mention of disappearances in the area was made in 1951 by E.V.W. Jones as a sidebar on the Associated Press wire service regarding recent ship losses.

Jones' article noted the "mysterious disappearances" of ships, aircraft and small boats in the region and gave it the name "The Devil's Triangle". It was next mentioned in 1952 in a Fate Magazine article by George X. Sand, who outlined several "strange marine disappearances".

In 1964, Vincent Geddis referred to the area as "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle" in an Argosy feature, after which the name "Bermuda Triangle" became most common. Other responsesThe marine insurer Lloyd's of London has determined the "triangle" to be no more dangerous than any other area of ocean, and does not charge unusual rates for passage through the region. Coast Guard records confirm their conclusion.In fact, the number of supposed disappearances is relatively insignificant considering the number of ships and aircraft which pass through on a regular basis.

Skeptics comment that the disappearance of a train between two stops would be more convincing evidence of paranormal activity, and the fact that such things do not occur suggests that paranormal explanations are not needed for the disappearance of ships and aircraft in the far less predictable open ocean. Kusche's The Bermuda Triangle Mystery—SolvedLawrence Kusche's research for his book revealed a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies between Charles Berlitz's accounts and statements from eyewitnesses, participants and others involved in the initial incidents. Unlike many other authors Kusche went back where possible to the original accounts of each disappearance.

This enabled him to be skeptical about any pro-Triangle embellishments because he could quite rightly question how the embellishment originated. 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. Citation needed 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 which have sparked the Triangle's mysterious influence actually occurred well outside it. Kusche came to several conclusions: * The ships and aircraft reported missing in the area were 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, for the most part, 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. * "The Legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery... perpetuated by writers who either purposely or unknowingly made use of misconceptions, faulty reasoning, and sensationalism." (Epilogue, p. 277)In recent years, however, several authors, most notably Gian J.

Quasar, have raised several questions as to the veracity of Kusche's findings, including but not limited to: why Kusche so often brought up as evidence for his claims cases that were already well-known before the writing of his work as not being "Triangle incidents"; his misidentification and mislocation of several ship and aircraft incidents that are well-documented, but then using that inability to properly identify the craft as "proof" that they never existed; holding to his claims that 'nothing out of the ordinary' regularly occurred in and around the area, and yet several times admitting certain cases lacked conventional rational explanation (most notably in the Star Tiger and DC-3 cases), and in other examples openly claiming possibilities for foul weather for certain disappearances where it can be verified that none existed.3Methane hydratesAn 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.4 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 carried out in the Monash University in Australia have proven that bubbles can, indeed, sink a scale model ship by decreasing the density of the water 1. Methane also has the ability to cause a piston engine to stall when released into the atmosphere even at an atmospheric concentration as low as 1%cita Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermuda_triangle .
