The video explores the mysterious disappearances associated with the Bermuda Triangle, a term coined by Vincent Gaddis in a 1964 "Argosy" magazine article. The video starts with a riddle about the Bermuda Triangle and its infamous disappearances, suggesting that the disappearance of airplanes and ships in the area is a reality. It then debunks the idea that the Bermuda Triangle is a territory, pointing out that it's actually a map symbol between the Bermuda islands, Florida, and Puerto Rico.
The video also addresses the phenomenon of methane hydrate decay, which could cause ships to sink in the Bermuda Triangle. However, it points out that this is not a huge bubble, but rather millions of small bubbles that stir the water slightly and push the vessel aside.
The video also debunks the idea that air bombs above the Bermuda Triangle can cause airplane crashes. It mentions the existence of similar phenomena not only in the Bermuda Triangle but elsewhere as well.
The video then discusses the supposed discovery of a crystal pyramid in the Bermuda Triangle, but debunks this claim, pointing out that no one has managed to take a photo of this structure.
The video also discusses the mysterious disappearance of the "Four Lakes" tanker in 1943, which was later found 80 kilometers away from its route after a huge explosion.
The video also mentions the story of the "Lost Patrol," where six US military airplanes disappeared on the same day in 1945. The video debunks this story by pointing out that the pilots were inexperienced and were lost due to poor communication and decision-making.
The video concludes by stating that the number of missing planes and ships in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as everywhere else. It argues that the Bermuda Triangle is not a place of mystery, but a location where accidents happen, just like everywhere else.
1. The Bermuda Triangle is a map symbol showing a place between the Bermuda islands, Florida, and Puerto Rico, not a physical territory. It was given this name by Vincent Gaddis in an article published in the "Argosy" magazine in 1964 .
2. The Bermuda Triangle is often associated with mysterious disappearances of ships and airplanes. However, many of these incidents occurred outside the territory traditionally associated with the Bermuda Triangle .
3. A theory suggests that disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle could be due to the formation of gas on the seafloor as a result of the decay of methane hydrate. This could cause the ship to sink .
4. In 1977, a film called "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was directed by Steven Spielberg, which showed a ship mysteriously disappearing in the Bermuda Triangle. This story received widespread media coverage .
5. In 1945, five US military airplanes disappeared on the same day, known as "The Lost Patrol". No bodies or debris were ever found. A sixth airplane sent to search for them also disappeared without a trace .
6. In 1945, the official report of the event showed that the pilot, Lieutenant Taylor, refused to turn for 270 degrees and insisted on flying straight. His compasses broke and he got lost. His airplane crashed when it ran out of fuel .
7. The Bermuda Triangle is deep and the seabed is very uneven, making it difficult to find missing airplanes. The maximum depth humans can dive is just 330 meters .
8. The Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current in the Atlantic Ocean, flows right underneath the place where airplanes and ships disappear. If an airplane crashes there, it is highly likely that it will not be found where it crashed .
9. The World Wide Fund for Nature published a research listing the most dangerous regions for shipping and missing people. The Bermuda Triangle is not on top of the list .
