Bermuda Triangle mystery ‘solved’ as expert pinpoints ‘how ships sank’ | World | News

The Bermuda Triangle mystery may have been “solved” as an expert believes he knows what might cause ships to sink there.

Simon Boxall, an oceanographer from the University of Southampton, has presented his findings in Channel 5’s The Bermuda Triangle Enigma.

According to Boxall, rogue waves and unpredictable ocean swells could be a major factor.

These waves, which can reach up to twice the height of surrounding waves, are capable of sinking ships and causing havoc for aircraft flying above.

Boxall explains: “There are storms to the south and north of the Bermuda Triangle, which come together.

“If additional storms from Florida join in, it can create a potentially deadly formation of rogue waves.

“These waves can be highly destructive and difficult to detect, making them extremely dangerous.”

Rogue waves, while terrifying, are not the only explanation being put forward.

Other scientists suggest that the Gulf Stream, a powerful ocean current that flows through the Bermuda Triangle, could play a role.

The Gulf Stream is known to cause rapid changes in weather conditions and sea temperatures, creating an unpredictable environment that could contribute to the sudden disappearances.

In fact, many of the Triangle’s incidents have occurred when ships or planes were passing through areas where the Gulf Stream is most active.

While these scientific theories may provide a logical explanation for some of the Bermuda Triangle’s most famous mysteries, the enigma remains far from solved.

Whether it’s rogue waves, the Gulf Stream, or something even more elusive, the Bermuda Triangle continues to intrigue and mystify.
