Has the “Bermuda Triangle” mystery been solved?
Although no such anomalies have been identified, it is believed that in the early 20th century, true geographic north and magnetic north aligned in the Bermuda Triangle, which could have led to navigational errors.
A sea area in the North Atlantic between Florida, Puerto Rico and Bermuda acquired legendary status in the mid-20th century after articles were published about the mysterious disappearance of boats and planes there.
According to Euronews, one of the most famous incidents happened in 1945; Namely, when a group of five US Navy bombers disappeared on a training mission in the area.
After that, for decades, the destructive forces of the Bermuda Triangle were considered the reason for the sinking of every ship and crash of every plane in this region.
Until in 1975, an American author named “Larry Kusche” published a book in which he explained that the reports about the Bermuda Triangle were false and exaggerated or unverified.
He also wrote that the number of marine accidents that occur in this area of the Atlantic Ocean is not much higher than the number of accidents that occur in other parts of the ocean.
Nevertheless, invoking natural and supernatural causes to explain the events of this region continued for years.
In some arguments, they went to Atlantis and blamed the force of the remnants of this legendary island for the occurrence of these events, and in others, they claimed that some kind of space-time phenomenon prevails in this triangle and sucks objects into a parallel world.
In this triangle, a kind of space-time phenomenon prevails and sucks objects into a parallel universe.
One of the strangest natural explanations for this area is that methane bubbles released from the seabed capsize ships. However, studies by the US Geological Survey found no sign of significant methane emissions in the area in the past 15,000 years.
It seems that one of the reasons for plane crashes and ship capsizing in the past in this region was the occurrence of many storms; Also, in the era when pilots and ship captains did not have accurate tools to predict bad weather.
The results of a new study also showed that the convergence storms that occur in this area sometimes create 30-meter high waves that can sink even large vessels.
Laboratory simulations also confirmed that such waves have the potential to sink ships, although there is no evidence that they actually occur in the Bermuda Triangle.
Some claim that magnetic anomalies caused sailors and pilots who navigated by compass to go off course in the past.
Although no such anomalies have been identified, it is believed that in the early 20th century, true geographic north and magnetic north aligned in the Bermuda Triangle, which could have led to navigational errors.
The US Coast Guard has also not identified any particular danger in the Bermuda Triangle. Also, a 2013 study that listed the most dangerous waters for shipping did not include this area in its list.
Statistics also show that despite the high volume of air and sea traffic as well as frequent storms, an unusual number of accidents and breakdowns have not been reported from the Bermuda Triangle.
Perhaps the real reason for drawing attention to this area is that people are naturally drawn to mystery, and for this reason, reports of disappearances have attracted a lot of attention.
The power of these mysterious beliefs has decreased in recent years; Perhaps because modern technologies allow us to track air and sea traffic more accurately.
