The Bermuda Triangle Explained



While the Bermuda Triangle is full of its own environmental wonders, the media often stretches the secrets and mysteries that lie behind it. Once speculation stops and scientific research takes over, it becomes clear that plenty of Bermuda Triangle facts provide a perfectly plausible explanation for the disappearances that occur within the area. After analyzing the ominous enigmas and terrifying stories that surround the missing ships and aircraft carriers, their disappearances become less of a conundrum and more of an overexaggerated conspiracy.

  1. Good job – a historical video that doesn't glorify bullshit! Did you fire the writer who made your recent video about a curse being real? Let's hope the only writing they're doing now is "God bless" and "will work for food" on a cardboard sign. 😁 Debunking isn't necessary when applying the historical method, as the latter should automatically discount the possibility of bullshit suggestions such as aliens, curses and ghosts. Cute to call it debunking, but not necessary.
    Let's hope to see more videos like this please!

  2. I firmly believe the problems are weather and human in nature but I dont know about the compass being broken on flight 19. I have watched many programs on this issue and there was one that mentioned it sounded like the leader headed in the wrong direction and when he said later that the compass was all wrong it may have been preforming correctly but he expected it to point in the opposite direction because he was lost. Then all of the team lowered its elevation because that would keep them all together to make the easier to find when they began running out of fuel. If this is correct we may be looking in the completely wrong direction. I am sure there are theories on where the right place is but I have no idea where they are.

  3. Make a video about Pelindaba. South Africa’s nuclear facility that definitely still has nukes but has told the world we were the first to voluntarily give up our nukes.

    The story goes that the apartheid government didn’t want nuclear weapons to fall into the hands of an ANC government.

    But in reality 3 people have been shot on site there. There have been 2 heists there. Have a look. Why kill on site if it’s just a power station?

  4. It's a fascinating area. I always liked the gas theories cuz it could be similar to a house with the gas stove exploding. Quiet seas, methane bubbles up into a cloud on top of the water, ship diesels thru cloud nobody can detect, something sets it off and it's all over in a few minutes. All the elements exist, it's possible, just improbable.

  5. I'm writing this BEFORE watching because I'm curious if it will come up. I was told later in life that the reason so many planes and ships have gone missing here, disproportionally large numbers, is because it's a very high traffic area. More traffic means more OF the traffic will have something happen, essentially. And now to watch the video…

    Edit: Only at 1:22 and it's one of the first things said in the entire video. Lol! 😂🤣

  6. As a sailor and a certified SCUBA diver, I can assure you there are no more wrecks in the BT than any other similarly sized section ocean. I also live on the west side of the BT, and have dived close to 100 wrecks within it.

  7. True story: Mackey Airlines prop plane from Miami to Nassau w/a college buddy (in the 70s). I was already afraid to fly and we hit some turbulence I had a panic attack (thinking I was getting sucked into the BT). When the pilot announced we were descending to land, the FAs would be around to pick up drinks, etc, he said, "Except the woman in 8B. You can keep your drink." that was me 🙂

  8. Kinda OT, but……
    Milton Bradley kicked out a Bermuda Triangle board game around 1975 or '76.
    I adore that game. As board games go ? It IS quite a bit of fun….. get 4 of your ships around the board to various ports and pick up 250,000 tons of cargo (bananas, sugar, oil & lumber) before your opponents does. But watch out for the SINISTER MYSTERY CLOUD, as it may gobble up your ships while you try !! (Magnetic action does gobble up your ship & make it "disappear"….)
    Hit eBay if you're inclined- there's pleny of 'em out there. One of the best board game ever made, IMO.

  9. I saw the movie "The Devil's Triangle" and it scared the hell out of me. I've been through the BT a few times but wonder about those who vanished without a trace. Bruce Gernon's story is not of a normal flight through that area but he lived to tell about it. All these theories sound fine, but I still think there is more to it. Your instruments don't start behaving oddly and your compasses don't start spinning for those reasons. And it's strange that it always happens, there.. like there is some kind of anomaly… there. I can't imagine a 90-foot wave taking a plane out at 1,000 feet. Most planes divert around weather. Back in those days pilots had to know how to fly and did not have computer programs flying for them. The without a trace part bothers me. When a plane or ship goes down violently, there is usually a debris field and parts of it begin washing up on beaches. As for Flight 19, even if you are a beginning pilot you had to know enough to get off the ground and read your instruments. It's kind of hard to read them when they don't behave normally, and odd that it would happen in more than one plane. And for all of them to be so hopelessly disoriented? So very many try to explain it away, but no one really can. They all think they know where it went down, but even those looking for them went down. That crash was even witnessed, yet when hundreds went out to search, not one thing was found. Why?

  10. Sure, there's a scientific explanation for the seemingly strange occurrences and disappearances of sea and aircraft. These types of things happen all over the world's oceans, seas, and lesser waterways. So why does the area known as "The Bermuda Triangle" (which really shouldn't be confined to such a ridged structuring) get a special name if there's nothing special about it? I'd equate the "Bermuda Triangle" label akin to "Iron Bottom Sound" which has its name due to the mass number of warships and the like that had been sunk in the area.
    Even though there may be a "rational" explanation for the numerous incidents in the area, that doesn't mean there is no historical precedent for the area's dark reputation. Think about it, if someone mentions "Bermuda Triangle," if nothing else, you know which area of the planet that person is speaking of and its notorious reputation, supernatural or not.

  11. Re the methane (I should make it clear that this has nothing to do with the BT hoax), off the California coast, there are patches where the sea looks like it's boiling, and occasionally ignites. This is due to the once very cold water at the bottom of that part of the sea warming up, "melting" the methane ice which then rises to the surface and ignites on contact with the air. I'm not sure if this is still happening, but it's was going on for years.

    The sea floor full of frozen methane, which is why a warmer sea is not only going to raise the water level by itself (it'll "expand", basically), but of course there'll be water melting from the ice caps, and then the methane will enter the atmosphere and we're screwed! It's about 10* more "efficient" as a greenhouse gas than CO2. In fact as Siberia warms, it'll be worse than the sea warming! The more fresh water ends up in the sea, the easier it's going to be for the Gulf Stream and all of its connected "ribbons" around the world to stop moving. Then everyone is in deep doo doo.

  12. I have been flying in the Bermuda Triangle for 40 years and have seen bad weather that have caused accidents. Hut the reason flight 19 disappeared as well as other planes getting lost is because there is a magnetic disturbance that can make compasses spin or give false readings. I have experienced them both. If they are caused by aliens or something else I don’t know but I think they should find out what is happening before they dismiss the aliens causing it.

  13. Gotta admit, I read the Charles Berlitz book in 1974 and it scared me-big time-especially since I wanted to be a pilot at that time. As an adult, became busy with other things and I didn't give the BT another thought. Then, in 2004 I read an article about the BT being debunked, which led to me reading the transcripts of the crews of Flight 19 (incompetence). Now, I see Close Encounters and I shake my head to Steven Spielberg's storytelling. I especially lost respect for him when Saving Private Ryan came out, that movie is a cheap and poorly done knock off of The Longest Day. There was a saying back in the day: "Two things the public should never see, sausage making and a battle being fought." The men that made The Longest Day were World War 2 vets and three of them actually took part in the D-Day landings. They understood that saying very well. If they were alive today, they'd slap Spielberg upside his head. "WHAT THE (BAP) WERE YOU (BAP) THINKING?"

  14. I'm surprised the video didn't cover the theory of Bermuda triangle being full to the brim of seaweed (I think Carl Barks, the comic book artist for most Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics touched on that, which inspired the episode of DuckTales, in which not only were the sailors stuck on a landmass of seaweed, but the seaweed monster with an affinity for harpsichord was also terrorizing the survivors).
