Is the Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved?
Unmasking the Unknown
Choose any one of the 20 planes or 50 ships that disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in the past century. Undoubtedly, each one has a relevant story but without an ending, resulting in different conspiracy theories regarding the disappearance in this area, marked by Bermuda, Florida, and the Greater Antilles.
Karl Krusczelnicki, an Australian scientist, along with the US’ own National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), does not subscribe to the supernatural reputation of the Bermuda Triangle. They have been claiming for years that there is simply no Bermuda Triangle mystery. The disappearance and loss of planes and ships are an aspect of probabilities.
NOAA stated in 2010 “There is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur with any greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the ocean”.
Kruszelnicki has also been claiming this same thing since 2017. He told reputable news sources that the high volume of traffic — in the tricky area to navigate — demonstrates the “number [of ships and planes] that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on a percentage basis.” He further claims that the US Coast Guard and Lloyd’s of London support that claim.
NOAA further claimed that the environmental conditions or considerations can explain the majority of the Bermuda Triangle disappearances, indicating the tendency of the Gulf Stream towards violent changes in weather, the number of islands within the Caribbean Sea providing a complex navigation adventure, and the evidence recommending that the Bermuda Triangle may lead to a magnetic compass to point to true north rather than magnetic north, generating confusion in wayfinding.
Kruszelnicki has also received public attention for rejecting the supernatural claims regarding the Bermuda Triangle. However, the culture tends to cling to the conspiracy theories surrounding the Bermuda Triangle. The ideas of aliens, sea monsters, and also Atlantis’ entirety drop to the ocean floor — those are fodder for movies, TV, and books. It also does sound more exciting than the mathematical probabilities and poor weather, anyway, even if the true story holds more weight.
