What ever happened to the Bermuda Triangle?

[Archae]

I keep seeing recycled "ancient astronaut" garbage on the Hysteria Channel, but no one seems interested in recycling that Bermuda Triangle garbage.

Well seeing as the chief proponent of this story was Charles Berlitz, and he died 10 years ago.

About 35 years ago PBS's "Nova" looked at the "mystery" and found it to be mostly a big lie.

I think eventually we will find one or more of the "Flight 19" planes.

1. Big open area where pilots and boat captains feel a little too safe, take risks, and make mistakes.

Nothing more.

These days radar, GPS etc, has reduced the number of accidents considerably.

2. The Nova program showed just how badly amateurish boaters and pilots can be off Florida.

One guy was navigating on the ocean using the world atlas in the dictionary.

GPS is much better nowadays, but it isn't perfect.

And GPS can't predict storms.

19. I knowa woman who sailed around Florida alone using road maps

She sailed the entire coastline from the Georgia border north of Jacksonville to west of Pensacola. No navigational charts, just a AAA road map of the state.

Yeah, she's kind of nuts.

20. Kind of?

3. I don't know, isn't the Sargasso Sea part of the Bermuda Triangle?

Maybe nowadays you have to be an embedded journalist to report from there and due to the strange occurrences reported from there even they agree it has to be kept on the quiet side? Fortunately, we have independent news agencies like Hammer Films that dare reveal the truth! There are Spanish conquistadors living there since the 1500s! To this day fighting monsters they've never come across before!

I guess your homeopathic chakras were misaligned or otherwise you would just "know".

8. NatGeo claims for example that the occurence of freak waves is the same everywhere

Could rogue waves be responsible for the disappearance of the S.S. Poet in the Bermuda Triangle? http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/videos/rogue-waves/

We know for example about South Africa and the Agulhas current producing rogue waves, maybe the Gulf Stream has a similar effect.

Because the phenomenon of rogue waves is still a matter of active research, it is premature to state clearly what the most common causes are or whether they vary from place to place. The areas of highest predictable risk appear to be where a strong current runs counter to the primary direction of travel of the waves; the area near Cape Agulhas off the southern tip of Africa is one such area; the warm Agulhas current runs to the southwest, while the dominant winds are westerlies. However, since this thesis does not explain the existence of all waves that have been detected, several different mechanisms are likely, with localised variation. Suggested mechanisms for freak waves include the following
