Bermuda Triangle

[Phantasm]

So what is this thing with Bermuda Triangle?I've recently become interested in these 'mysterious disapearances'...what's your opinion?

[Rafeal v1.0]

hmmm, i remember seeing something in the discovery channel about the bermuda triangle, something about a boat and a plane suddenly disappearing there. i also think it had something to do with the bubbles, but i just cant remember :X

[Beguiled]

bermuda triangle? :confused: dissapearing boat and plane? *shudder* doesn't sound too happy...

[Stewie]

it had something to do with the bubbles, but i just cant remember :XOne of the theories is that a large number of the boat disappearances can be explained by this. There are believed to be large concentrations of (I think it's nitrogen, or some other gas) under the sea floor in the Bermuda Triangle area. The theory is, that these gas pockets are released by movements in the earth's crust. The bubbles float to the surface, occasionally as a ship is passing over. When the air is under the ship, it causes it to sink. No water pressure pushing up on the bottom of the ship. (Suddenly, I'm having a hard time explaining exactly what happens.) I think [I]Mythbusters[I/] did a thing on this, and it actually worked.

Otherwise Phantasm, I suggest looking for a book at your local library. There are hundreds if not thousand of titles on the subject of the "Bermuda Triangle." I've even heard notions that it is actually a "Bermuda Trapezoid" or something.

Before you go to the library, surf the Internet! :D Here are websites that explore not only the Bermuda Triangle, but all the unsolved mysteries out there:

Maybe the Bermuda Triangle is a very haunted area at sea.

[Nick K.]

My fish, Bessie, was swimming there and never returned. Coincidence?

[GCFyouthcamper]

Funny, JLU Kid.

It may be strong magnetic fields in the area that mess with the planes' and ships' instruments.

They were talking about the Bermuda Triangle just the other night on Coast To Coast AM, a nationally syndicated radio talk show that deals with all the mysteries of the unknown (supernatural, paranormal, etc.)

Unfortuantely, it's true to its name -- it comes on from 12:00 am - 6:00 am.

[Gentleman Ghost]

There are also different areas of oceans where planes and ships have vanished too. This doesn't just happen in the Bermuda Triangle. Japan has it's own triangle called the Devil's Sea.

Actually this theory does seem to make the most sense.And that gas is Methane, given off by the large amount of Archeabacteria residing deep in the depths of the ocean. This gas is generally stored there in a sort of semi solid/liquid form but when the heated for any reason, it becomes bubbles. LARGE bubbles.Bubbles which, some scientists hypothesize, may be the cause of global warming that occurs over centuries, if erupted!:eek: It certainly explains the whole thing better than...Alien Abductions!:ack: Which would be kinda cool actually...:sweat:

[Tenku]

Hmm, funny how this topic came up. In math class, I had to find the area by using the points as determinants, and it was the problem of the week.


I got 99. something square miles. I'm pretty sure that's wrong...

[Bubblegum Girl]

It's a gateway to another dimension. :D

[Metroid_spy]

It's a gateway to another dimension. :DYeah. Of course. Its a gateway to a parallel universe! Everyone should know that. :p

i also have recently become interested in "mysterious disaperences" along with other things like ufo's ghosts sea monsters and ect.

but i dont knowwhat exactly is the reason. i do know some thories about it though. one is that ufo's abduct all who go in the bermuda triangle. another ios that a sea monster kills you if you enter. another is that it all has natural causes. well hope i helped. anyway if u want to mabie get books about the bermuda triuangle anotrher name for it is the devils triangle

The Bermuda Triangle is first and foremost a board game. http://www.vintageboardgames.co.uk/admin/uploadimages/13156T~bermuda.jpg

It's also some mysterious phenomena that ships and airplanes enter and then DISAPPEAR! I, of course, think its a whole bunch of hogwash.

I would love to see that Mythbusters episode.
I hope it comes up soon because i am entrigued

[Elven Moon]

I think the elves put it there ;) Ha, kidding. But if I was in a boat heading for the Bermuda Triangle, I'd be a nervous wreck.

When the air is under the ship, it causes it to sink. No water pressure pushing up on the bottom of the ship. that theory does not account for the disappearance of planes. I always thought it was a magnetic field that caused all their navigational equipment to go crazy, but wouldn't good sailors still be able to navigate?

maybe the government used that spot to test experimental weapons. when people started asking questions about all the disappearances, they made up something about methane or magnetic fields.

note: my only "knowledge" of the Bermuda Triangle comes from the X-Files episode. :D

hehe, when i first heard about the bermuda triangle, i wanted to go there to see what happened to me and if i came back or not, and if i didnt come back, what actually happened to me :p but then i started reading about it more and came up with the conclusion that it was just a magnetic field causing the equiptment to fail, causing the pilots/captains to lose sence of direction and end up taking them selfs further out to sea (thinking that it was the way home) instead of back to land and eventually their fuel would run out, causing the ships to sink and the planes to come crashing down into the water, and they wreckage couldnt be found because the ocean is too big to search it thus causing the ships and planes to dissapear without a trace, causing the mystery.

[solarflere]

Its a place where three climates meet, it creates constant fog and had a lot on magnetic interference, in case of a ship, the compass would malfunction and they would run into reefs and sink, in case of planes, electrical malfunctions happen/auto pilot fails and the crew can't handle the situation and goes down. Everything else is a myth. But there are more detailed explanations about it.

This is the truth.

the aliens put it there so they could watch our world and study us http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-tinfoil.gif

Have there been any known survivors that have been to bermuda triangle and back?

[solarflere]

Have there been any known survivors that have been to bermuda triangle and back?By survuvers, you mean tourists, the yes. its a tourist destination you know.

As I said before, most of it is a myth or happaned a long time ago.
