Another mystery suspiciously linked to the US military: Back in the 80s, Soviet navy believed, probably not without basis, that the "Bermuda Triangle" is the deployment location of the US ballistic submarine fleet.
Hey Man! How's the form? I went to buy a T-shirt on the merch site. They show prices without sales tax included. They fail to mention it anywhere, even at checkout, and then charge your card anyway. They charged my card €8 more than it said at checkout. Needless to say, I cancelled the order. I love ur channel, dude, and wanted to support you but us Paddies don't like being overcharged. Just thought I'd let you know what they are up to
The Bermuda triangle is one of the heaviest traveled areas in the entire world. Of course it has more accidents, just like a busy LA freeway has more accidents than a country road. Statistically, the Bermuda triangle is one of the safest places to fly, as per capita, it has less accidents than all of Europe.
The Dutch Sandwhich: Where companies and corporations go to disappear their need to pay tax. The Matryoshka Brain: Where civilizations go to wait out the heatdeath of the universe. The Brazen Head: Where Qxir goes to disappear his worries with beer. (probably) (not fact checked)
Former Navy sailor here. I've sailed through the Bermuda Triangle many times, as have my Dad and Grandpa, both of whom were sailors. The Bermuda Triangle is just as boring and beautiful as any other part of the seas and just as dangerous. It's not spooky or weird at all. Oh, and the missing flight and subsequent loss of the Catalina sea plane? A combination of green officers messing up on navigation, faulty communications gear, and known issues with by then aging WWII aircraft. The only "mystery" is the final resting places of all involved. Based on the transmissions by the officers and triangulation that they flew off into the Atlantic and eventually ran out of fuel, ditching somewhere in those unforgiving waters. The odds of ever finding them are remote at best. As Naval aviators, it's only fitting that their final resting place is the sea.
To add to that the Catalina flying boat that disappeared was notorious for having it’s engines occasionally explode so the idea that it was lost is no surprise
How strange when you think that the sea was their way, And a meaningless death is the price they pay For their living was made from the deep To their people in comfort and keep Keep all their people and places there Never to be seen again, never to be loved and their last embrace And the kiss has a salt bitter taste
That's probably true for most of the phrases you hear every day, unless you spend an unusual amount of time trying to predict what people will say. (Was that a phrase you expected to hear today, for example?)
The Bermuda Triangle is one of the most over-hyped conspiracies of all time. Flight 19 was weird, I'll give it that, but over 50% of the disappearances associated with it took place outside of the triangle. So they might as well call it Bermuda sea, or ya know, the Atlantic Ocean.
I guess the hype has something to do with USA being nearby. Most of alien observations, flat earth discussions and vaccine conspiracies are happening there...
Flight 19 is not weird it was first ruled pilot error by the navy but it was change later because the squadron leader mother didn't want her son to be remembered as the guy who killed his own squadron
@@jim4194 the rescue plane also disappeared so it is a bit strange. Or did the mother of that pilot not love her so as much as the other, Mr Pedantic? I'm dying to know!
The methane theory just sends my Thalassophobia to 100. The thought of the ocean just going "nah dog, you ain't floating, you falling" just fucks with me too hard.
@@fedupamerican296yes, just like that! Like when your house (or, at least, the part of the house you happen to be in at the time) is swallowed up by a sinkhole, and you’re never seen again. For example, like poor Jeff Bush from Seffner, Florida. Except that falling down a “hole” in the ocean, into its depths, would be a whole other level of surreal terror.
Alongside Quicksand, I really did think the Bermuda Triangle factored in as a regular and frequent danger. As a child, seeing as it came up so often in TV and books.
I learned in the 1970’s that there wasn’t any more accidents or mysteries there than any other large body of water. Surprisingly, I learned this from a Ripley’s Believe It Or Not book.
I remember as a little kid in the 80s going to the town library and checking out all the children's books on weird phenomena like this. I'd stare wide-eyed at the pages in fascination. Unsolved Mysteries would be on TV and I'd watch it when my parents weren't in the room, quickly changing the channel if I heard footsteps. I'd hide under the covers in my bed afraid of UFOs coming around. Wowwwwww! Now I look back at that program and laugh at how much of a crock it was. 😂
Remember when Malaysian flight 370 disappeared, then the media pretended we found the wreckage and everyone stopped looking? There are almost always reasons we can't locate a lost vessel and it ain't a mysterious triangle...
I hope you mean that the details Skeptoid covered are interesting, not the ones Charles Berlitz covered... because the truth about Flight 19 IS a very interesting story, but very different from what a lot of people think. (Seriously. LEMMiNO's Bermuda Triangle video is excellent, but he left out a lot of details on Flight 19 that Skeptoid dug up.)
"Bet you can't name a ship or plane that disappered in the area" Flight 19 in which a squadron of 5 US planes disappeared as well as the rescue plane sent to find them in 1945. This is the story that got me interested in the Bermuda Triangle
Also the El Faro, but that was more to do with the non-euclidian stupidity of the captain sailing into the eye of Hurricane Joaquin than any spooky woo-woo with the triangle itself.
The Bermuda triangle is one of the heaviest traveled areas in the entire world. Of course it has more accidents, just like a busy LA freeway has more accidents than a country road. Statistically, the Bermuda triangle is one of the safest places to fly, as per capita, it has less accidents than all of Europe.
That's only partially true. 15% of the triangle makes up 90% of all the routes through it. When compared to specific shipping lanes and flight areas, it isn't even remotely close to being one of the safest. It isn't one of the most dangerous, but to say it is one of the safest is an outright lie. The LA freeway is actually one of the safest roads in the U.S. per capita as there are country roads with accident rates that are magnitudes higher than city freeways. Shoot, the desert highway from San Bernardino to Bakersfield sees nearly 15x as many accidents per capita than the freeway between Anaheim and Carson.
@@halofornoobs93watch the video into 9:26 and see that he agrees with me. How can you give statistics about the locations when nobody agrees where exactly the triangle is? I get you want to belive fun stuff, but don't expect people like me to rp along with your fantasy game misinformation. I care more about reality, than a fun fable.
@@PositiveOnly-dm3rx ...his statistics run on the must used routes inside of the general location of the triangle, saying nothing on it's exact confines. He also doesn't actually affirm the idea of more deaths occuring in it, just that it's not safer if you don't unfairly measure the entire triangle (which you yourself argue isn't even a very specific place) like it's equivalent to the A-to-B lines that most travel routes are measured as.
I mean there's a bit more to it. Probably nothing wild, but navigational instruments do often encounter issues in the region and ships have randomly experienced losses in buoyancy. There are actually a few bodies of water around the world, including off the coast of Northern Australia, where these anomalies occur and while some explanations work in some of them, they don't apply to others. Safety and navigational technology have improved greatly in the last 100 years so these issues rarely impede modern vessels, but the fact they they do exist is interesting to say the least. Rogue waves also appear to be far more common in the Bermuda Triangle than in other areas. There's nothing superstitious about the area, but there are oddities that only seem to be present in certain parts of the world.
When you said towards the beginning of the video that most people know of the triangle but not of any incidents, I couldn't help but think the Bermuda triangle is so powerful not even the knowledge of incidents can even escape it.
Some believe Flight 19's commander, Lt. Charles Taylor, lost his bearings. PTSD, perhaps? And the other four planes followed his lead. He was in charge.
I first learned what this was from the Rocko’s Modern Life episode where they’re on a ship, the audience is told they’re entering the Bermuda Triangle, and all the old passengers turn young and the young passengers turn old.
don't alot of peeps travel around that area. Bermuda is a popular tourist destination. i feel like its just more likely to have crashes because its a higher trafficked region.
Flight 19 was covered on an episode of unsolved mysteries. Skeptics like to bring up negligence as being the reason, but there’s two counter points they never have an answer for. Why would ALL planes lose contact with base at seemingly the same time. And why would the rescue plane also go missing? Either they were attacked immediately or something else happened out there. But I find it hard to believe that every single one of those pilots died from negligence.
Dude, at the beginning of this one, but wanted to say, your video about the cave-paintings not having detailed human faces, ...wow, gotta be one'uh the coolest questions ive ever heard discussed. Can't say how much i enjoyed it, so gd great, so specific, & just right. Thanks.
If you aren't checking details, a lot of bermuda triangle disappearances didn't even really disappear. They go missing long enough to be reported in the news, then get found, whether alive or not. But the initial headline gets them added to the lore, and people keep repeating that they were "lost without a trace" when they were later either rescued or found with little mystery as to the cause of their fate.
The Ranch, or Area 51 as it's most commonly known, also tested captured Soviet aircraft either we captured or loaned to us by the Israelis. These came in handy as we evaluated the aircraft and their tactics the counter them. This also led to the creation of U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School, or TOP GUN. It saw a dramatic increase in fighter performance. Before Top Gun the average kill-death ratio in the Navy was 2:1, or two MiGs shot down for every Navy aircraft. After TOP GUN, that ratio increased dramatically to 12:1.
@@charlessaint7926that ratio is because we destroyed tons of north Vietnams radar coverage and expanded our own satellite radar coverage over vietnsm meaning Vietnamese migs couldn’t just wait and ambush us jets that they knew were coming. It’s not because we suddenly got better at fighting migs , it’s that they weren’t waiting for us jets ready to ambush them because they didn’t know when or where they were coming anymore
The Bermuda triangle's bark has always been way worse than its bite. You'd think with a reputation as sinister as its, it would be unusually dangerous; but it's really not.
Friend told me a story where he took a flight through the “Triangle” for a business tip. He stood in line, boarded the plane, and flew for two hours. In a blink, he was back in line getting nudged by another passenger behind him. Did the flight all over again and made it the second time. Don’t know if I believe it or not, but thought it was kinda interesting.
That's called a lie. The Bermuda triangle is one of the heaviest traveled areas in the entire world. Of course it has more accidents, just like a busy LA freeway has more accidents than a country road. Statistically, the Bermuda triangle is one of the safest places to fly, as per capita, it has less accidents than all of Europe.
There is a lot of contradicting information online about different theories surrounding the Bermuda triangle. Even the first result when searching on Google "what makes the bermuda triangle interesting" sites a source saying "...the compass does not point towards the magnetic North but towards the true North. This strange phenomenon leads to confusion in navigation, another reason why ships and planes derail from their set course and get lost." The whole magnetic declination phenomenon explained in the video proves that this is likely not the case. Great video and amazing research into the feasibility of different theories.
Cyclops disappeared in March of 1918. Nereus and Proteus were lost in November and December of 1941, respectively, both having been sold to Canada earlier that year. All 3 were lost in an area of high merchant traffic at times when their owners were at war with Germany, and therefore likely targets for u-boat attacks. In that light, their disappearance doesn't seem so mysterious to me: U-boats probably got them, and then someone else got the U-boats before they could report their kills. Interesting side note, a fourth sister of the class, USS Jupiter, was renamed USS Langley and converted into the US Navy's 1st aircraft carrier in 1920. She was sunk by Japanese aircraft in WW2, having been converted again into a seaplane tender in the intervening years.
@@juliandavidhoffer2022 They absolutely were, in fact, one famously sank the oiler Gulf-American less than 1 mile off the coast of Jacksonville Florida, then taunted shocked onlookers and shelled it from the surface in full view of civilians. in the first three months, U-boats sank 100 or so ships, and they would absolutely be hunting in those waters for any enemy-flagged vessels prior to declaration of war with the USA, and a pair of supply ships under a Commonwealth flag are exactly the target they would make sure to kill.
@juliandavidhoffer2022 there were tons of them. The US got into WW1 because of German U Boat attacks. During WW2 the German navy sunk sank hundreds of ships in US costal waters.
I think the whole Bermuda Triangle thing comes from the spread of mass media with people not really understanding that disappearing at sea without a trace is really not that uncommon. Seriously, naval search and rescue is an incredibly difficult task.
For a while now though planes have been made with lots of parts that float to help with locating stuff so if a plane has disappeared in the last twenty years you expect to see a lot floating Debris
Triangles get a bad reputation. When will we get a video on the other deadly fictional geometric regions like squares, pentagons, and the dreaded hexagon?
