00:00It's one of the most feared patches of ocean on Earth.
00:03Spanning over 500,000 square miles, the Bermuda Triangle is blamed for the disappearance of dozens of ships and planes.
00:10But is it a supernatural portal, or is there a perfectly logical explanation?
00:15Today, we're diving deep into the facts that most people ignore.
00:191. The Flight 19 Incident
00:22The legend truly began in 1945 when five U.S. Navy bombers vanished without a trace.
00:28Even the rescue planes sent to find them disappeared.
00:32No debris was ever found.
00:34This sparked the Devil's Triangle craze, but many forget the lead pilot's compass was malfunctioning and he was hopelessly lost.
00:412. The Magnetic Mystery
00:44One scientific theory is electronic fog.
00:48Some pilots have reported strange clouds that cause their navigation equipment to spin wildly.
00:53While the Triangle is one of the few places where True North and Magnetic North line up,
00:58the Coast Guard insists there is no evidence of unusual magnetic disturbances.

01:213. Methane Bubbles
01:23Could the ocean itself be swallowing ships?
01:27Some scientists believe massive pockets of methane gas trapped under the seafloor can erupt.
01:32These bubbles would decrease the density of the water, causing a ship to sink instantly, like a rock in a
01:38vacuum.
01:384. The Rogue Wave Factor
01:41This area is a breeding ground for Rogue Waves
01:44Massive walls of water up to 100 feet tall.
01:47They appear without warning and can snap a cargo ship in half.
01:51Combined with a fast-moving Gulf Stream current, any debris would be swept away in minutes,
01:56explaining why we find so little wreckage.
01:595. The Truth in the Numbers
02:01Here's the fact that ruins the mystery.
02:04According to the World Wildlife Fund,
02:06the Bermuda Triangle isn't even in the top 10 most dangerous shipping lanes in the world.
02:11Statistically, there are no more disappearances here than in any other heavily traveled part of the ocean.
02:16So, is it a cursed zone or just a busy highway with bad weather?
02:20Either way, the legend of the Triangle isn't going anywhere.
