"That's what they'd like you to believe."
I think that’s been known for a long time.
Next, he needs to debunk Gorebal Warning.
I’ve read that the insurance rates are no higher than one would expect for that region’s weather and conditions, and insurance companies would know.
A “Scientist Says He’s Solved the Bermuda Triangle, Just Like That: And it’s “ probabilities are the leading cause of the Bermuda Triangle disappearances”
Aren’t probabilities the cause of anything happening?
Damn. I’ve been hoping Flight 19 would show up from one of these UFOs everyone has been going ape shiite over.
I heard this theory about probability decades ago. It’s an old theory.
My grandfather was a pilot, ran a flight school in Westchester NY. Used to fly with a local flying club in the 1930s and 1940s. One weekend he and 3 other pilots flew down to Bermuda. On the flight back to the US, my grandfather was flying his Piper Cub without instruments, the rest were flying by instrument...he watched them veer off east as he was headed northwest. (Cubs didn't have radio.) The other pilots never returned.
I have searched for confirmation of this handed-down story but haven't seen anything that matches the details, so it may well be apocryphal.
"That's what they'd like you to believe."
Ever since I learned the full details of the five WWII torpedo bombers (they were even featured in Close Encounters) I realized it’s all explainable. Those guys just ignored their compasses because they thought they were over one land mass when they were really over a different one. If they’d followed their compasses they would have been fine.
Stuff like that. And then the TV shows over the last six decades sensationalize normal stuff.
Article should have pic of the triangle’s location. Doesn’t.
I’ve been through it several times (1972-75). I did go bald early.
Booze has to be in there too.
That’s just what an alien would say...
Didn’t Andrei lose another submarine somewhere around there?
I knew this decades ago. About 45-50 years ago Charles Berlitz listed many of the ships lost in the triangle. I pinpointed each disappearance and most disappeared well OUTSIDE the triangle. One pleasure boat that disappeared, on it’s way to the Bahamas, next day’s newspaper showed a hurricane was hitting the area.
Berlitz’s last claim on that list was when “Thursday, January 10, 1980. A twin-engine private plane taxied onto the runway of the Shreveport, Louisiana, municipal airport. At the controls was Louis Benscotter, 47. Benscotter, a veteran pilot with 31 years of experience, was preparing to fly to Baton Rouge, a 40-minute hop across the state.”

Berlitz wrote that the plane was being mysteriously pulled toward the Bermuda Triangle.
He also tried to claim there was a Philippine area Triangle doing the same, now an Alaskan Triangle.
Most of Berlitz’s claims were in the cheap Tabloids of the 1960s and 1970s. STAR, ENQUIRER, World Weekly News, the same ones that pushed UFOs, The Amnityville Horror and Jean Dixon nonsense. “JEAN DIXON SAYS NIXON WILL NOT RESIGN!” hit the news stands the week Nixon resigned. Ten years later her publicity department claimed she had predicted the resignation.
“....The Sargasso Sea is a region of the Atlantic Ocean bounded by four currents forming an ocean gyre. It is the only named sea without land boundaries. It is distinguished from other parts of the Atlantic Ocean by its characteristic brown Sargassum seaweed and often calm blue water. The sea is bounded on the west by the Gulf Stream, on the north by the North Atlantic Current, on the east by the Canary Current, and on the south by the North Atlantic Equatorial Current, the four together forming a clockwise-circulating system of ocean currents termed the North Atlantic Gyre....”
Do they wonder why “scientist” is like a joke these days?
Mephisto’s Trapezoid is far more compelling than the Bermuda Triangle.
