Description: Location of the Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle is located between Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean

Connection:
This is the location of where numerous aircrafts and ships are said to disappear under mysterious circumstances.

Bermuda Triangle | Description, Location, Disappearances, Map, & Facts

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The Bermuda Triangle is a section of the North Atlantic Ocean off North America in which more than 50 ships and airplanes are said to have mysteriously disappeared. The area, whose boundaries are not universally agreed upon, has a largely triangular shape that connects the southern U.S. coast, Bermuda, and the Greater Antilles.

Connection:
This connects to the unexplained because people cannot find out how they disappeared because they would send a rescue team to get them and they would go missing too.

So how did this tragedy turn into a Bermuda Triangle mystery? The Navy's original investigation concluded the accident had been caused by Taylor's navigational confusion. According to those that knew him he was a good pilot, but often navigated "flying by the seat of his pants" and had gotten lost in the past.

Engineers at the University of Southampton in England built some ship models, including one of the USS Cyclops, a vessel that vanished in the Bermuda Triangle in 1918 with over 300 people on board.

They simulated rogue waves in a wave tank and found that, indeed, ships can sink quickly if hit by them. The bigger the ship, the bigger the difficulty staying afloat, they found. Small ships can get swamped by them, but sometimes they can ride the wave if they hit it bow-on, Boxall said. But big ships - designed to be supported in the front by the top of one wave and in the back by the top of another - snap in two.

People often talk about weird magnetic anomalies over the Bermuda Triangle, Boxall said. "There aren't any," he said. There are magnetic anomalies in the world that have to do with the Earth's mantle moving beneath the crust, but the nearest one is about 1,000 miles [1,600 km] south, off the coast of Brazil - a long way away from the Bermuda Triangle, he said.

Another theory has to do with pockets of explosive methane gas that could, due to some disturbance, float up toward the water's surface and cause the water to be less dense than the ship, leading the ship to sink. However, no experiment to date has been able to prove that this is possible, Boxall said.

"Theoretically, it could be happening, but there are lots of places in the world where this can happen," not just in the Bermuda Triangle, Boxall said. Instead, he thinks the most common cause for the mysterious vanishings is human error. [ The 20 Most Mysterious Shipwrecks Ever]

The famous disappearance of Flight 19 - five U.S. Navy aircraft that vanished during a training mission in 1945 - that led one journalist in 1964 to give the area its current name, probably occurred because the crew got lost and ran out of fuel, Boxall said.

About a third of all registered and privately owned ocean craft in the U.S. are in the states and islands of the Bermuda Triangle area, he said. And according to the most recent 2016 figures from the Coast Guard, 82 percent of incidents in this area that year involved people who had no formal training or experience of being at sea, he added.

"So, you take a third of the entire boating population of the U.S., you dump them in the Bermuda Triangle," and what you get is mysterious vanishings, Boxall said. You don't need any licensing or specific equipment like radios or navigation maps to take a boat to sea, he added.

"A number of times, working at sea, we've come across people who are navigating using a road map, who are relying on their mobile phones as their means of communication, discovering ... you get 30 miles offshore [and] you lose the signal," Boxall said.

In addition, "environmental considerations could explain many, if not most, of the disappearances," NOAA wrote on its website. "The ocean has always been a mysterious place to humans, and when foul weather or poor navigation is involved, it can be a very deadly place."

NOAA also says the area could be prone to accidents because of the Gulf Stream, a strong and fast ocean current that can cause "rapid, sometimes violent, changes in weather," and shallow waters around the Caribbean islands that can prove fatal for ships.

"You can extend the Bermuda Triangle to ever bigger areas...what you'll find is that the Bermuda Triangle covers the entire globe," Boxall said. "Rogue waves can hit lots of different places, methane bubbles can hit lots of different places, and wherever you get a high concentration of amateurs without any experience you're going to get a high concentration of mysterious disappearances."

But, you know, maybe it is aliens capturing unsuspecting humans using vortexes that lead straight into their laboratories that they've set up in the lost city of Atlantis.

Editor's Note: This article was updated on Aug. 3. The original map showing the Bermuda Triangle was incorrect. The so-called Bermuda Triangle is an area between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico.

1. The thing that surprised me about the Bermuda triangle is all the theories around it and how some could range from just tides and storms to alien life.

2. A real life example that interests me would be flight 19 which was the disappearance of five naval airplanes while they were in the Bermuda triangle.

3. The research I found the most interesting would be from the website The UnMuseum because it shows some of the mysterious disappearances of ships and planes.

4. I would remember the disappearance of Flight 19

5. I think the most harmful pseudoscience is suppression by authority and the least harmful is ideologic support.

6. I think the most important thing to pass on would be to be open to all ideas but make sure that its from a creditable source.
