    Bermuda Triangle Mystery Finally Solved? Scientists Give Explanation

    For many decades, the Bermuda Triangle has become a mysterious location off the coast of the Florida peninsula where various ships and planes have reportedly gone missing.

    While the U.S. government and other international maritime agencies do not recognize the name, some people claim the missing ships and aircraft are caused by extraterrestrial activity in the region.

    However, a new discovery may finally shed light to the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. According to a report, several scientists found giant craters on the seabed near the coast of Norway.

    The experts claim that these craters are indications that something exploded in the area, and that methane bubbles may have caused these explosions.

    In the report, these methane bubbles accumulate under the sea floor sediments, and then explode, burst, or “pop” from the seabed to the water surface.

    “The crater area is likely to represent one of the largest hotspots for shallow marine methane release in the Arctic,” said in the report.

    The craters reportedly measure up to 800 meters wide and about 45 meters deep.

    Details about the discovery will be presented at the European Geosciences Union, and experts will discuss whether these methane bubbles are a threat to ships.

    Reports also claim that such phenomenon may have something to do with the bizarre occurrences within the Bermuda Triangle. For many years, the only scientific explanation that experts could provide is the area’s turbulent weather and seas.

    Interestingly, Russian scientist Igor Yeltsov already stated last year that the “mysteries” of the Bermuda Triangle may be the result of gas hydrate reactions. Yeltsov explained that this kind of occurrence can trigger an avalanche or even a nuclear reaction, where huge amounts of gas are produced.

    The term Bermuda Triangle was first coined by Vincent Gaddis in 1964, when he described it as a place where various ships and aircraft mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

  • Amelia Earhart Situation For Flight 370

    International attention focusing on the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has led to collective concern that the most recent occurrence could be another unsolved global mystery, similar to the officially-unsolved case involving renowned pilot Amelia Earhart. Former U.S. aviation accident investigator Ric Gillespie, who studied the 1937 disappearance of Earhart, spoke about the public’s reaction to the recent unresolved tragedy.

    “When something like this happens that confounds us, we’re offended by it, and we’re scared by it. We had the illusion of control and it’s just been shown to us that oh, folks, you know what? A really big airliner can just vanish. And nobody wants to hear that,” Gillespie said.

    Though many are having difficulties grappling with the revelation that a plane can disappear from the technological radar in this day-and-age, the Journal of Transportation Security‘s editor-in-chief Andrew Thomas offered some realistic insight behind the limitations involving modern-day aviation advancements. “There are lots of reasons why they haven’t changed, but the major one is cost. The next-generation technology would cost $70 to $80 billion in the U.S.,” Thomas explained.

    Understanding the events that influenced the disappearance of Flight 370 represent only part of the public’s anxiety when discussing this most recent tragedy. Another part of the struggle is determining the societal recourse needed to lessen, if not prevent, future situations of a similar nature from occurring. According to Brian Havel, who is the director of DePaul University’s International Aviation Law Institute, “The international aviation legal system does not anticipate the complete disappearance of an aircraft. We just don’t have the tools for that at present.”

    The 1937 disappearance of female pioneer pilot Earhart shocked the international community and led to debates and discussions regarding potential underlying factors. Conspiracy theories have persisted since the late 1930’s just like the current onslaught of conspiracy theories concerning Flight 370. While it may be falsely comforting to hope that these events are relegated to the past, present-day aviation is not immune from disastrous mysteries.

  • Bermuda Triangle, Malaysia Air: Connected or Hoax?

    Approximately seven days ago, Malaysian Flight 370 disappeared after taking off from Kuala Lumpur. Today, planes and boats are still searching the seas around the Gulf of Thailand to try to find any clue as to what happened to the aircraft.

    Many theories have come to the surface, but most recently one has been at the top of the list: the Bermuda Triangle.

    The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, has been a controversial topic of conversation since 1950 when allegations of unusual disappearances began with Edward Van Winkle Jones publishing an article in The Miami Herald.

    Although researches have argued that no more ships and planes have been lost in that area than any other part of the ocean, the mystery remains, manufactured or no.

    Now, 64 years later, the region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean is being speculated about again.

    According to Yahoo News, some have speculated that Flight 370 disappeared over a patch of ocean that is on the exact opposite part of the globe from the Bermuda Triangle. This is spooky … until you look at a globe and realize that is not true.

    So, why the continued connection to the Triangle? Perhaps it is because a few days ago a Malaysian politician tweeted: “New Bermuda Triangle detected in Vietnam waters, well-equipped sophisticated devices are of no use!”

    Although he later apologized, the rumor was already flooding social network sites.

    On Facebook if you click on a link that reads “Malaysian Airline Found” it takes you to a page called Caught on Camera. In order to even see the “revealing” video on the site, you have to share the link, therefore it spreads like wildfire. For the users who are a bit more savvy and who try to close the link, another window pops up that reads “Please click image above and share us on Facebook to close.”

    Another Facebook video post claims that Flight 370 has been found in the Bermuda Triangle with all 239 passengers still alive. However, there is no video footage. The message is a scam to trick users into promoting bogus online surveys.

    Other speculation to the disappearance of the Malaysian flight have circled around alien involvement, a Snowden conspiracy, hijacking, and the Illuminati.

    Until Flight 370 is found – and that could take years – supernatural and conspiracy theories will most likely continue. But, at some point, reason surely has to kick in … even for those on Twitter and Facebook.
