Why have people been disapearing in the Bermuda Triangle?

Answer 1

Bermuda Triangle

The section of the ocean called the Bermuda Triangle is a heavily traveled location; it's been the hub of Caribbean traffic for a couple of centuries. There are 'disappearances' there for the same reasons that there are disappearances in all of the worlds heavily traveled sea going locations. The nature of oceans and seas is very powerful and often unpredictable. Sometimes humans forget that nature is still far more powerful than their technology and intelligence.

Answer 2

Possible Reasons for the DisappearancesUFOs

Some theorists believe that the strange, unexplainable nature of these disappearances points to UFOs and abductions by extraterrestrial beings. These occurrences first happened at the beginning of the UFO era, and it's thought that while in flight or on the boats, the UFOs come in and disorient the pilots and passengers, and then take the entire flight or boat into their crafts and fly off. The best evidence of this is the pilot of Flight 19's strange comment, "we're entering white water..." which can't be explained by storms, as it was a clear day.

Atlantis

The Lost City of Atlantis has long been considered a myth by most westerners who have heard of it, but some believe that Atlantis used to exist where the Bermuda Triangle is currently located, and that some left over technology deep beneath the sea is interfering with the planes and boats and causing them to crash or sink. Some believe that the Bimini Road, which was discovered in 1968 underwater off the coast of Bimini in the Bahamas, is actually a road leading from the Bahamas to the former Atlantis, which is now resting under the sea.

A Wormhole

Some believe that the strange disappearances point to odd physical properties somewhere within the Bermuda Triangle itself, suggesting that perhaps, somewhere, there is an element not currently understood by man, that causes certain laws of physics to change within the triangle. It could, possibly, be a theoretical wormhole that transports those that pass through it to a different time and place in the universe.

Natural Reasons

Some have stated that because of the particularly rough weather going through the Bermuda Triangle, that it's possible that quick storms were whipped up that knocked planes out of the sky or sank ships without warning. Perhaps because of the quick nature of these events, the crashes and sinking's took place quickly, disappearing underneath the service before a rescue party could be scrambled. Some claim that it's simply human error, and at least one author has suggested that the amount of disappearances in a highly-traveled-through area such as the Bermuda triangle was not any more than the norm, and that the Bermuda Triangle theorists are simply alarmists, and that most of the Bermuda Triangle facts that have been released to the public have been sensationalized to sell papers or magazines. Others suggest that the lack of explanation has led other, less malevolent authors, to seek out evidence rather that forming a theory based on the evidence as a whole. You can always find evidence to support your conclusion if you're looking for evidence to support the conclusion in the first place, rather than developing a conclusion based off the evidence.

Answer 3

The same way people disappear in any ocean. They drown!

There is no mystery to the Bermuda Triangle. The number of people who go missing in any one region of the ocean is generally proportional to the density of traffic within that region. The denser the traffic, the more losses there are likely to be. Mystery solved!

Answer 4

Nobody really knows for sure. There is an interesting theory that there is a natural magnetic field which plays havoc with compasses and navigation equiptment. Another theory is this magnetic field actually pulls boats and planes down into a vortex in the water. That may explain why water and air craft simply disappear, in many cases no wreckage is ever found.

Answer 5

There is nothing "special" about the Bermuda Triangle, except that it is an area of ocean where storms can rise and claim ships and planes. In all probability, the people that have "disappeared" in this region are lying and/or decomposed at the bottom of the Atlantic.

Answer 6

The Magnetic Field confused airmen and Ships compasses
