The Most Mysterious Place On Earth? | Random Thursday

[@MrWildbill]

When I was in the Navy I spent nearly two years in and around the triangle, I was on an oceanographic research ship that did detailed bottom mapping along with many other measurements, like gravity and magnetic, salinity & water temp / depth, and we used various navigation systems, inertial, LORAN, and pre-GPS NavSat. The only oddity so to speak is like you said, they can get some bad storms and what makes them sort of odd is that you can go from glassy water and still air, to serious waves and wind in no time, less than an hour and with little or no warning. These storms generally blew by quickly also but if you were on a prop plane or small ship or poorly navigated ship it would be easy to see how they could go down and not leave a trace. As far as storms at sea I saw a lot worse in the North Pacific so even the storms were not unusual in magnitude but they did come up faster than in most places. One of the reasons this has decreased I think is that there far better weather monitoring and reporting in the area, jets that can fly around and over the storms and ships getting a lot longer heads up to avoid them in the first place.

I've passed through the Bermuda Triangle many times while in the Navy. The only thing that every happen was riding out a tropical storm on an aircraft carrier. USS America CVA-66. (God Rest Her Soul). Now that's a memory I will never forget. We just headed into the 20-30 ft. waves at full steam ahead. The coolest thing was the rumble that would come down the main hallways and pass under your feet every time we cleared a wave. The main hallways were under the hanger bay. The big ship was like a tuning fork. Looked out one of the side doors at the back of the Carrier (Which was not good Idea!) at about 30 feet above water line and only saw walls of water passing by no sky. I had got off watch and rocking boat put me to sleep. hehe.

LOVE the Bill Murray Ghostbusters reference: "Dogs and cats living together! MASS hysteria!" It's so great to watch videos created by someone at least within a few years of my age (I'm 53) that knows and remembers most all of the trivia/entertainment things that I do. We get get to have inside jokes that go right over the heads of the young whipper-snappers. Ive always LOVED the legend of the Bermuda Triangle, too. I didn't get to go to southern Florida until just six years ago and I just stood there looking out across the water thinking about how I was actually standing on one of the vertices of the Bermuda Triangle. That just blew my mind. Then friends of mine that lived there and went deep-sea fishing often decided we all needed to go straight out and do some fishing. Even though I know that there is a 99.99% chance nothing would happen to us, I was a little apprehensive and afraid at first. But once we got out there (We went out about 12 miles) it was relaxed and I felt something I've never felt before. I think I experienced just the tiniest taste of what sailors experience that makes them love the sea so much. I got to see Dolphins, Sharks, Jellyfish, and so many others and it was spiritual. We caught some fish that we ate for dinner that evening after we got back to my friend's house and it was just spectacular. So I've been in and fished in the Bermuda Triangle and lived to tell the tale. It was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had.

I know nothing about this story but isn't that just explainable by, you know, a good tailwind? I'm no pilot, but from what I can tell that would be a STRONG tailwind, but not like a physically impossible one. Especially in a storm that is generating whatever was misinterpreted as "fog tunnels".

A few eons ago, NOVA did a great show on The Bermuda Triangle. The short summary is that there’s just nothing particularly unusual going on there. As you alluded, it’s a very busy shipping and tourism route, so there are bound to be lots of accidents there. But even proportionally, there haven’t even been all that many incidents there either. There are considerably more airplanes downed over a comparable land area of the continental US that have never been found, than over the Bermuda Triangle. Also, all of these cases where they emphasize that no wreckage of airplanes have been found is way far from mysterious: Airplanes are (get this!) *not boats* , and their parts tend to sink. Even more importantly, it’s really really hard to find anything on an open ocean! Wreckage tends to get obscured among white cap waves. Plus TBMs (the airplanes they were flying) were painted navy blue - camouflage, essentially.

[@glazierblue573]

I worked on a cruise line that sail along side the triangle every week as part of it root to an island in the Bahamas. (No ships go through the triangle) but we went along side it, pretty close. At the same point every week it was like passing through an invisible wall. The atmosphere was eletric. I cant explain it... but it was always completely silent... Computers, digital clocks... internet all would just go crazy.. even DVD player were suddenly faulty. Mobile were working but there was background sound. No clear calls until we went to the island. All scientists explained, am sure. But still creepy as hell. Something strang is going on out there.

[@andrewjohnson6716]

One of the more interesting postulations I have heard has to do with methane. For some reason the area of the the Bermuda Triangle frequently has intense plumes of methane gas express out of the ocean bottom. This would lead to the appearance of green luminescence under the water, possible balls of flame if it should ignite, and crew members going missing due to passing out. If there is enough it can have even weirder effects. Bubbles of methane can cause the water to because extremely thin and sink ships rapidly. It can thin the air causing planes to rotate in the air without a sensation of turning causing the pilots perception of motion and the compass to seem to disagree. (As you mentioned, GPS would eliminate this problem completely.)

[@ADHJkvsNgsMBbTQe]

Of course, the Bermuda Triangle came up. And one of the students said that she didn't believe anything was too special about it. (This is about 1976 or so, a very challenging statement on the topic.)

@@PaulaBean Plus the place is lousy with breakers, not all of them have been marked, either. You've got an entire underwater mountain ridge, with Bermuda Island basically being the peak of one of the tallest of them. Volcanic activity from subduction along the Puerto Rico ridge, much like the Cascadia ridge on the eastern coast producing the cascadia mountain range. You can easily rip a hunk out of your hull on one of those things, capable of taking down even a Panamax cargo hauler. For aircraft, downdrafts and microbursts are a huge problem in the area, much as is found in the so-called 'Sierra Triangle'. Back in the 50's and 60's, they didn't know about them, and they would cause a false positive on instrumentation, warning a pilot he was in a dive and to pull up, which would stall the aircraft. There are many hazards of navigation, even in the modern era. We don't own the planet, we merely reside upon it at the planet's bemused tolerance. With as many shipping lanes that move through that stretch of water, a certain number of accidents are inevitable. Breakers, rogue waves, operator error, weather... there are many things that can bring a ship down to rest beneath the waves. There's nothing mysterious or supernatural about it.

[@PaulaBean]

@@ShneekeyTheLost That 'underwater volcano' has been thoroughly debunked by James Randi in his book 'Flim-Flam'. That ridge is actually a cherrypicked fragment of a sonar trace where the depth calibration was done.

@@PaulaBean Please read before rebutting. I never said it was a volcano, I said it was an underwater mountain range, and it is. They used to be volcanic, several million years ago, but are now extinct. And there's not just one 'cherrypicked fragment', there's literally hundreds of them. It's an entire ridgeline on a tectonic plate boundary, although thankfully not a particularly active one, seismically speaking. Don't believe me? Check it out on the USGS site, or just go diving and see for yourself. That's the thing about science, and what differentiates it from religion... you don't have to take anyone's word for it.

[@aggonzalezdc]

There are a couple of little points which you could also add about a couple of those examples: With Flight 19 there was another factor, the airman in charge of leading the exercise, even though he was experienced, was used to flying over the Florida Keys. He had been stationed in the Keys most of his career and had only been transferred to Ft. Lauderdale very recently (I think it may have actually been his first flight from Ft. Lauderdale, but I could be misremembering that). Being so used to flying over the Keys, he thought the broken land under him was the keys, which would have sent him in the wrong direction as you mentioned. Also the Star Tiger, that type of plane was known to have an issue where the cockpit heater could potentially catch fire (it ran off of the same fuel as the plane), and it was also located under one of the pilots' seats. And as you mentioned, they had issues with the heater, and they were probably flying in warmer air because they had no heat in the cockpit. If the heater did catch fire the pilots may have had an emergency causing them to drop, especially if one of the pilots was badly burned, and in such a sudden emergency they may not have had time to make a radio call. There is also the possibility that the heater only barely caught fire, potentially silently filling the cockpit with carbon monoxide, causing both pilots to pass out. There are pretty rational explanations for everything that happens in the "Triangle".

I also used to think about the Bermuda Triangle a lot as a kid...because I was born and raised in Bermuda :) The ol Triangle doesn't get a lot of mentions these days - as you say, a lot fewer disappearances since GPS became a thing lol. Was very excited to see one of my favourite YTrs cover it! Also learned about something brand new - agonic lines. Thanks Joe!!

When I was very young I saw a movie or documentary (can't remember) about the bermuda triangle and it scared me so much that for years I forbid myself to even think of it. Every time I thought of it I got scared and what followed were usually nightmares. I was an abused kid so I could not go to my parents so it took me until I was an adult and out of the household when I was brave enough to actually confront this irrational fear of a place on the other side of the world. Doing research helped, especially about lost pilots and how people get so easily disoriented at sea. What also helped was to realize that I literally live in a landlocked country in the middle of europe and even if there was something odd going on, I would never be affected by it anyway. Phobias are crazy sometimes.

[@hareecionelson5875]

And at least now you know that there are 3 factors which increase the likelihood of disappearances in the Bermuda: high traffic, adverse weather conditions and compass 'declination' And, Bermuda isn't even the most dangerous place in the sea. I hope you're getting the support you need for after the abuse. And as for nightmares, they're not fun at the time, but they're basically adventures in your sleep. You get to do and experience crazy dangerous situations that would probably never happen to you in real life. That thought certainly helps me view nightmares in a more positive light.

I heard theres a lot of methane ice in the bermudas and when lots of that melts at once it can cause bubbling that sucks ships underwater and the methane cloud can not keep airplanes in the air. I dont know if there is any sense to that

There was a study that showed gas trapped under the ocean in that region sometimes is released which causes rapid sinking of ships and also the downing of planes.

[@louf7178]

You described that phobia perfectly. Just today I looked at an unnamed video I have - it was on the Bermuda Triangle. I saved it for some lesson to remember.

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

Some ships were discovered completely abandoned for no apparent reason; others transmitted no distress signals and were never seen or heard from again. Aircraft have been reported and then vanished, and rescue missions are said to have vanished when flying in the area. However, wreckage has not been found, and some of the theories advanced to explain the repeated mysteries have been fanciful.

[@jars6230]

Yeah, that happens everywhere there are lots of boats.

[@snarf2400]

@@jars6230 agreed... But planes as well?

[@jars6230]

@@snarf2400 Planes go down everywhere too. The defining feature of this mystery is every airplane that crashes is immediately 'mysterious'. It is one of the most heavily trafficked areas in the world, by air and boat. The number of tragedies isn't excessive given this and the weather in the area. A plane disappears in the triangle, big mystery, 2 disappear somewhere else, big accident.

The man in charge of Flight 19 had spent most of his career flying over the Keys. He was used to that side of Florida and had only recently been transferred to Fort Lauderdale. When he became disoriented his instincts kicked in and he tried to find land by using the small islands beneath him as a guide. But they weren’t the islands he thought they were.

I love the explanation of there being a high amount of magnetic dust in the area. It's actually supported by science, craps on all the wacky theories, and is still pretty interesting in of itself.

[@GrandKai9]

I always thought it has a lot more to do with our magnetic field messing with our instruments. You have increased my suspicion seeing how GPS relies on information from satellites. Still I’m surprised you didn’t bring up the Devil’s Sea,(the pacific’s Bermuda Triangle) and the Similarities. Maybe another fun video idea?

[@Mediumdave1983]

Hi Joe, just wanted to add a perspective on aircraft altitude numbering - whilst I'm as big a metric fan as you will find, and very much appreciate you (and the OLF podcast team) making the effort to switch to the more useful and rational measurement system for most things - aircraft altitudes are still usually given in the international standard unit of feet above mean sea level, or higher up (generally above 10,000ft AMSL), in Flight Levels, which are thousand foot increments AMSL, at standard atmospheric temperature and pressure, used to designate cruising altitudes for airliners on a common altimeter pressure setting (1013mb). So, in this specific case, it doesn't make as much sense as usual to convert to metric, particularly for English speaking audiences, (though non English speakers may still benefit from the conversion), and it sounds out of place to anyone who is familiar with the standard aviation terminology. Cheers! Great video though 👍:)

The Mariner was a flying gas tank and known to be a real fire hazard. The Tudor series was also a very trouble prone aircraft. Staying low would have kept the temperature comfortable if the heater pooped-out again or it may have caught fire (those old heaters were prone to that). Also the Tudors pressuraztion systems were so bad that they were often disables. People do not appreciate how unreliable these surplus WW2 aircraft were, especially when operated by 2nd and 3rd tier carriers.
