why this has been hushed of late

[depps]

do you realize that any old fool can write a book or make a documentary on the mysteries of the bermuda triangle in the hope of making a quick buck?

The wikipedia article has plenty of references, go follow them up if you don't trust the article. Thats the point of having refences.

my point is i don t use wiki!!!!!!

Fair enough but wiki is a lot more reliable than any site Buzzer might point you towards!

just want to draw your attention to the fact that in recent years "the bermuda triangle" has literally vanished from mainstream conversation.

its just i watched a documentary on it as a kid.... i wanted answers!!!

the truth was broken down to one of these...as by many sources??!

#1. freak weather occurreneces

#2. atlantis......the brick road from bermuda to....found on the sea bed!

#3.u.f.o.`s.

all 3 are ridiculous!!!!!
surely "Occam`s razor" may apply to a more satisfactory answer to us all on what happened out there over the years???

please discuss!

It was agreed in 2006 to withdraw all references to the 'Bermuda Triangle' until a major dispute among mathematicians as to whether it was an isosceles or scalene triangle was resolved. When concensus was reached in 2009 it was then discovered that in the intervening three years the area had altered to a hexagon which prompted more scientific arguments and frenzied measuring to determine whether it should be called the 'Bermuda Regular Hexagon' or the 'Bermuda Irregular Hexagon.'

I like Buzzer too and love conspiracies and things like the Bermuda, I'm just extremely sceptical about all of them which any right thinking person should be. What I'm saying is that wikipedia is actually a pretty reliable source of information so long as you aren't planning on using it in any academic essays or anything! The wiki article on the Bermuda triangle gives a pretty good overview of where the myth comes from and provides some evidence showing why it is only a myth. Seriously have a read of it, it will only take a couple of minutes and will probably tell you everything you wanted to know about the subject.

sorry thats the 2nd i ve looked at it .....its total muck!

oh what a deadly web we weave when we practice to deceive

i ve given up on reading on it because there are so many loose ends/far from facts/riddles of words/just gibberish/the enigma that is......trying now to read between the lines here!

They think it is something to do with gases beign released under the sea. When they release and a ship passes over it, the ship looses its boyancy.

Something I have found both intriguing and personally inspiring is Erich von Daniken's 'Chariots of Fire.' The true story of an alien who chose to win Olympic honours for Great Britain whilst refusing to use telephones on a Sunday because of religious beliefs is indeed heartwarming in these days of plastic bosoms and gay bed and breakfasts.

No they don't. Who's they by the way? As I said before, statistically speaking, that area is no differnet to many other areas of the ocean.

There are some skeptics who argue that the facts do not support the legend, that there is no mystery to be solved, and nothing that needs explaining. The number of wrecks in this area is not extraordinary, given its size, location and the amount of traffic it receives. Many of the ships and planes that have been identified as having disappeared mysteriously in the Bermuda Triangle were not in the Bermuda Triangle at all. Investigations to date have not produced scientific evidence of any unusual phenomena involved in the disappearances. Thus, any explanation, including so-called scientific ones in terms of methane gas being released from the ocean floor, magnetic disturbances, etc., are not needed. The real mystery is how the Bermuda Triangle became a mystery at all.

The modern legend of the Bermuda Triangle began soon after five Navy planes [Flight 19] vanished on a training mission during a severe storm in 1945. The most logical theory as to why they vanished is that lead pilot Lt. Charles Taylor’s compass failed. The trainees' planes were not equipped with working navigational instruments. The group was disoriented and simply, though tragically, ran out of fuel. No mysterious forces were likely to have been involved other than the mysterious force of gravity on planes with no fuel. It is true that one of the rescue planes blew up shortly after take-off, but this was likely due to a faulty gas tank rather than to any mysterious forces.

Over the years there have been dozens of articles, books, and television programs promoting the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. In his study of this material, Larry Kusche found that few did any investigation into the mystery. Rather, they passed on the speculations of their predecessors as if they were passing on the mantle of truth. Of the many uncritical accounts of the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, perhaps no one has done more to create this myth than Charles Berlitz, who had a bestseller on the subject in 1974. After examining the 400+ page official report of the Navy Board of Investigation of the disappearance of the Navy planes in 1945, Kusche found that the Board wasn't baffled at all by the incident and did not mention alleged radio transmissions cited by Berlitz in his book. According to Kusche, what isn't misinterpreted by Berlitz is fabricated. Kusche writes: "If Berlitz were to report that a boat were red, the chance of it being some other color is almost a certainty."

logically making sense! plenty of experiments to support this!!!

but it still doesn t explain why "incidents" have stopped of late in modern times... why not continue as normal... we could have analyzed activity!?incidents have stopped... i think the last one was back in`97?!

bit odd!!!!!!
