The Bermuda Triangle

  • Southern Atlantic Coast of the United States draw a line from Miami to Bermuda to San Juan Puerto Rico and you will get the shape of a triangle. 
  • This area has been the site of over 50 ship disappearances and 20 airplanes in just the past century. 
  • During this period 1,000 fatalities 
  • Bermuda was founded in 1609 by shipwreck survivors 
  • The sargassum algae span hundreds of miles and reports of ships getting stuck for days.  
  • Bermuda is a shipwreck magnet of around 300 that are the ones that are found in the shallow, not in the deep. 
  • 1918 USS Cyclops a WW1 ship vanished in the triangle without a trace. 306 souls were on board, no remains have been found to date making this the largest non-combat-related loss of life in US Naval History. 
  • 1881 Ellen Austin was traveling in the same area as the Cyclops when it crossed paths with a ship that was completely empty and some of the crew members started transferring to the abandoned ship to sail it to safety. The 2 ships were separated by a storm then when Ellen Austin caught up the ship was once again abandoned.   
  • Methyl hydrate and rouge waves 
  • The wreck of the KB Hayes bomber went down in 1961 due to engine problems  
  • The incident is known as Flight 19, December 5th, 1945. 14 airmen boarded 5 planes in Florida the airmen became disoriented, and all 5 planes and the 14 men were lost without a trace 
  • A seaplane was sent out for a rescue mission with 13 crew members and 27 mins into the voyage the plane along with the 13 crew members disappeared.  
  • Jordy Klien has been flying into the Bermuda triangle since he was 17 when he got his pilot’s license and has been in there hundreds of times. He has experienced bad weather coming out of nowhere on crystal clear days, his compass goes haywire, and his altimeter has become erratic, the magnetic fog that wraps around your plane. He would turn his head and instantly get vertigo. 
  • The reef off the coast of Bimini is strange and in the shapes of pyramids, Jordy’s opinion is that the reef looks man-made.  
  • Nick Hutchings is a deep-sea mineral prospector; the island of Bermuda was created by a volcano. Upon further discovery, the lava rock is enriched with minerals including Titanium dioxide and iron oxide which when these are combined, make a mineral called magnetite.  
  • Magnetite is the most magnetic naturally occurring mineral on the planet.  
  • So where Bermuda volcanic rock contains 18% to 20% magnetite most soils only contain 1% to 5%.  
  • So even though Bermuda is a tiny dot on the map it is essentially one giant magnet. 
  • Studies have shown that large magnetic fields can enhance the growth patterns of certain plants like sargassum. 
  • 1980 400-foot auxiliary ship sank off the coast of Daytona 
  • 1991 a commuter flight crashed off the coast of Georgia  
  •  
  •  Titusville Fl they found the wreckage of a WW2 plane but not from flight 19 
  •  

What happened to flight 19? What happened to the USS Cyclops? What happens the Ellen Austin? And what the heck is sargassum? Can we get to the bottom of this?
