Bermuda Triangle Ship Sinkings Solved

[Flyn]

Ocean farts.

There is speculation by some scientists that methane bubble discharges from underwater ocean vents or volcanoes in the Bermuda Triangle lower the buoyancy of the water causing ships to sink.

What about the planes?

I thought this was relatively well known and has been accepted for a while? The boats and buoyancy aspect of it, I mean.

I swear I've heard this somewhere before

I thought the disappearing plane problem was the huge mystery.

Speculation is many of the plane crashes were due to poor maintenance, crappy airplanes or pilots who did things that let their planes run out of fuel. Most of the crashes were tied to one British company that had a poor service record. At the time, Bermuda was at the extreme end of their flight range so any malfunction or course error could be enough to prevent the plane from reaching its destination.

Its very well known. Same issue over underwater volcanos. The bubbles create an air layer that causes the boat to lose buoyancy.

I don't think that's true at all. Flight 19?

This has been a theory for a long time. How could they say it is solved. They didn't find many, or any, ships that had sunk and looked at evidence to confirm how & why the ships went down. So is this another case of the media hyping things with words that are more attention grabber than words that actually fit?

I remembered reading that someone found that type of plane in the Florida everglades. But they said it could not be located several years later. I had to google it and that seems to be the case...

Flight 19 solved? Two sleuths say yes - tribunedigital-sunsentinel

I watched that video like 4 or 5 years ago. It has been.

Answer: The Vile Vortices

 

[Flyn]

If you read about Flight 19, it sounds like the commander mistakenly headed in the wrong direction. Navy did not find him guilty because "the compasses failed". Excuse me? This was supposed to be a dead reckoning exercise. Sun sets in the West. How about flying into the sunset? This was suggested by other pilots in the flight but, probably because of military discipline, they followed the commander's instructions and probably ended up in the Atlantic (unless one or more turned around and crashed in Florida).

there's plenty of critique that the bermuda triangle mystery

is bermuda triangle mythology

I've seen the boat tests before and it definitely can sink a boat.

But you'd need a large gas discharge. one large enough to get enough of the boat under the water line that it can flood it. Or it would have to capsize it.
