The Bermuda Triangle- 3 Main Theories

Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico are a part of something quite unusual. If linked together on a map with straight lines, these three places make up a rough triangle, mainly over sea (The Caribbean). This triangle is known as the Bermuda Triangle. Reported disasters in this area, such as planes disappearing, occur quite often but no one knows exactly how they happen. They may be just coincidence but when these disasters happen, there is never any trace left behind. There have been many theories and conspiracies about this strange and daunting stretch of sea but none have been proven.
The main theories include:

• Methane Gas- Probably one of the most popular theories about the Triangle is the 'methane gas' theory. A theory developed by Dr. Ben Clennell of leads University, he believes that methane gas is built up under the sea bed and is eventually released causing landslides underneath the oceans surface. As a result of this, these areas develop low density waters causing things that are heavier than water to sink i.e. ships and cargos. In turn this releases methane gas into the air which is highly flammable so may cause aircrafts to catch fire.
• Hexagonal Clouds and Air Bombs- Scientists and meteorologists have noticed hexagonal shaped clouds within the region of the Bermuda Triangle. These clouds are very dense and hold what are known as air bombs. The pressure in the cloud builds up and eventually it becomes too much for the cloud. It blasts out sending winds in all directions of up to 170 mph, dangerous for planes. It can also cause the formation of gigantic waves, threatening ships.
• The Hutchinson Effect- It is said that some airplanes and ships have lost contact or disappeared due to a mysterious cloud that follows them. The electronic mist or fog engulfs the ship or airplane and follows it until all the electronic equipment on board malfunctions. This may explain why ships and planes lose contact suddenly and disappear without a trace.

These are the main theories about the Bermuda Triangle. To this day, it is still not certain as to why all these disappearances have occurred, 'The Devil's Triangle' is yet to be understood.
