The Bermuda Triangle, The devils Triangle, Hurricane alley.
The vicinity in and around the Bermuda triangle is a stretch of water in the north atlantic
ocean that is one of the most heavily travelled shipping lanes in the world.
Boats and ships sail through it for ports in the Americas, carribean islands and Europe,
and planes regularily fly over it.
But because the Bermuda triangle is one of the most heavily travelled areas of the world,
many boats, ships and aircraft have disappeared while travelling through it.
Over the years, many vessels have gone missing, and even after extensive search operations,
no traces of them have been found.
Dissapearances in the area have been documented since the 1600s.
Even Christopher columbous reported strange lights and strange compass readings in 1492.
So what would happen if we drained the Bermuda triangle?
What would we find at the bottom?
That’s the question we’re asking right now on life’s biggest questions.

So, what if we drained the Bermuda triangle?
Lets stick to the facts and not imagine that there might be some sort of supernatural cause.
As much as I would like to think that theres a portal to another dimension in the devil’s
triangle, most scientists have found logical explanations for its mysteries.
Here are a list of vessels and planes that we would probably find at the bottom of the
Bermuda triangle if we drained it.
In 1609.
The sea venture was recked near the eastern end of the Bermuda triangle, the commander,
Sir George somers and his crew came ashore and created a human settlement on the island.
In 1812, the patriot which went missing on December 30’th 1812.
Aboard was Theodosia Burr Alston, daughter of United States Vice President Aaron Burr.
In 1814, the USS Epervier disappeared along with her crew while carrying the peace treaty
to end the war between America and the North African Barbary States.
1872, the mary celeste, one of the best known ghost ships of the Bermuda triangle.
In 1881, the ellen Austin came across a ship that was sailing with absolutely no one aboard.
Some of the crew from the ellen Austin transferred onto the other ship and tried to travel to
new york, but the ship mysteriously disappeared, then reappeared, but had no one aboard.
It disappeared again without a trace.
In 1918, a huge cargo ship called the USS Cyclops went missing in the triangle went
missing.
There were 300 crew members aboard, and it’s regarded as one of the biggest loss of life
the Bermuda triangle ever caused.
In 1945, several training flights that took off from a naval base in florida never returned
to the base.
Even a flying boat that was sent to search for the planes went missing.
These are just a few of the dozens, if not hundreds of vessels and aircraft that we would
probably find at the bottom of the Bermuda triangle.
This area of the Bermuda triangle was also frequented by pirates several hundred years
ago.
Pirates didn’t even have modern technology and they sailed on wooden ships.
Who knows, maybe there coul be troves of buried treasure that sunk after ships were walloped
by the waves.
Computer data has allowed us to drain 500 miles of the Puerto rico trench.
The seabed of the Bermuda triangle, 5 miles down, there is highly varied terrain.
Cliffs and valleys for hundreds of miles.
Scientists also believe there might be a gigantic crater at the bottom of the Bermuda triangle,
or several of them.
. They believe this because at the bottom of the Barents sea, off the coast of Norway,
there lies huge craters measuring up to 800 meters wide and 45 meters deep.
They were made by the build up of methane in sediments on the sea floor.
When they leak, they pop through the seabed into the water above.
There have also been reports of methane gas in the Bermuda triangle, causing fog that
makes it difficult for planes to sea, and causing ships to sink.
These huge blowouts of gas could put ships in danger, and might be one of the reasons
why the waters of the devil’s triangle are so turbulent.
But that’s not the only hypothesis.
The area of the berumada triangle is prone to rogue waves as the triangle is where there
are often multiple storms merging together.
Storms come from mexico, the equator and farther east in the atlantic, and when they meet,
they create freak waves that can be over 100 feet high.
What do you think we would find at the bottom of the Bermuda triangle if we drained it?
Let us know down in the comments.
For now I’m going to respond to some of your comments and questions from my last video
on this channel, what if we all stormed area 51.
The wird kid yas – they probably already moved danny devito’s bath water to another
base.
The US air force must protect daddy devito’s bathwater at all costs.
Wy – I work at area 51and one of my buddies I work with there are planning to prank the
people by wearing an alien costume.
Be careful, they might capture them and take them home.
Faxel – mommy never signed the permission slip.
I’ve been practicing naruto running every day.
