Bermuda Triangle: The Mysterious Location of Missing Data

Why is The Bermuda Triangle Dangerous

In the Bermuda Triangle (also known as the Devil’s Triangle), ships and aircraft are claimed to inexplicably disappear into thin air or deep ocean at sites in Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico.

Although the plane went missing halfway across the globe, some people have recently speculated whether the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 is linked to the Bermuda Triangle.

In 1964, novelist Vincent Gaddis created the phrase “Bermuda Triangle” in the men’s pulp magazine Argosy. Despite the fact that Gaddis initially coined the term, a far more well-known name brought it to worldwide fame a decade later. One of Charles Berlitz’s many passions was studying the paranormal, since his family had produced the famed Berlitz series of language instruction courses. In his best-selling 1974 book, “The Bermuda Triangle,” he offered a notion that Atlantis was connected to the triangle in some manner. Hundreds of publications, periodicals, television programmes, and websites have been promoting the novel since its release.

Many suggestions have been put up over the years to explain the enigma. Berlitz’s thoughts on Atlantis have been raised by some authors, arguing that the mythological city may also be at the bottom of the sea and be used to destroy ships and aircraft with its alleged “crystal energies.” Furthermore, there are reports of time portals and extraterrestrial life, including an alien base submerged under the ocean’s surface (although it is unclear why such a gap in space-time would appear in such a well-traveled area of the ocean).

There are still many who go to geology or hydrology, believing that the solution rests in something that is very rare and unknown, but completely natural. There are pockets of flammable methane gas known to exist in large portions under the sea, and it is possible that ships and planes are destroyed by using these pockets of methane gas, which may have been ignited by lightning or an electrical spark, and then burst into flames right next to a ship or plane. Methane occurs naturally all throughout the planet, yet no such incidence has ever been documented. This argument has very apparent logical flaws.

Rogue tides are also recommended by some. A strange geomagnetic anomaly may cause pilots to have navigational difficulties and cause ships to fall into the water, but pilots are taught to fly even if they lose electronic guidance, so that idea doesn’t explain ship disappearances. Indeed, the Navy maintains a website dedicated to dispelling this rumour “While it is true that there are only two spots on Earth where a magnetic compass points north, this is untrue of the Bermuda Triangle. Compass needles typically point in the direction of north magnetic latitude. It’s called compass variation because of the difference between the two. Although the Bermuda Triangle used to be affected by this compass variation, it seems that this is no longer the case owing to changes in Earth’s magnetic discipline during the eighteenth century.”

Bermuda Triangle – the disappearance of facts

But before we get any of these answers, a good skeptic or scientist must first ask: Is there any mystery at all?
Larry Kusche, a journalist, was curious in the Bermuda Triangle’s mysterious disappearances and came up with a shocking conclusion: There is no mystery. “Mysterious disappearances,” according to Kusche, were virtually produced via blunders, thriller-mongering and even plain falsification — all passed along as fact-checked facts.

In his book “The Bermuda Triangle Mystery—Solved,” Kusche points out that very few authors on the subject bothered to perform any genuine investigation—they just gathered and rehashed other, previously writers who had done the same. Because of this, Charles Berlitz’s skill with language did not translate into scholarly work that could be taken seriously. Errors, inaccuracies, and illogical crank notions abound in his paranormal publications, particularly those about the Bermuda Triangle. One may argue that the Bermuda Triangle was born out of blunders made by author and journalist Charles Berlitz. It subsequently said that Berlitz’s study was so shoddy that “If Berlitz had been to establish that a boat was red, the possibility of it being some other colour is virtually a certainty.”

It’s possible that the ships and aircraft supposedly lost in the underwater triangle cemetery didn’t exist at all outside of a writer’s imagination in certain situations. However, Berlitz and others failed to point out that the ships and aircraft “mysteriously vanished” amid severe storms.

Sometimes the ships went down outside of the Bermuda Triangle’s boundaries.
Considering that cruise ships and freight ships frequent the Bermuda Triangle, it stands to reason that more ships will go down there than in less-traveled places like the South Pacific.
Despite the fact that the Bermuda Triangle has been shown to be a hoax for decades, it continues to resurface as a “unsolved mystery” in new novels, most of which are written by writers who are more interested in a dramatic tale than the facts. Perhaps there isn’t any need to invoke time portals, Atlantis, underwater UFO bases, geomagnetic anomalies, tidal waves, or anything else at the end of the day! Sloppy research and sensationalist literature are to blame for the Bermuda Triangle mystery’s existence.
