The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle has actually been solved

The mystery surrounding the Bermuda Triangle has long boggled the minds of many, but it seems that has finally been solved.

The deadly area between Florida, Puerto Rico and Bermuda has become infamous over the years due to a lot of people entering never coming out the other side.

The Bermuda Triangle covers a whopping 700,000 kilometres of ocean and is a highly busy patch of sea.

Many conspiracy theories have thrown about surrounding the Bermuda Triangle over the years, some more plausible than others.

Some have suggested the existence of supernatural power or extraterrestrial invaders capturing humans for their experimental studies.

Pretty outlandish I know, so experts did some digging.

Karl Kruszelnicki, an Australian scientist busted the myth about the high number of disappearances by stating the most common yet 'simple' scientific fact.

The Aussie scientist went on to say Bermuda Triangle's unsolved mysteries are likely due to 'human error and bad weather' due to its close proximity to the equator.

Kruszelnicki said: "It is close to the Equator, near a wealthy part of the world - America - therefore you have a lot of traffic."

He emphasised the similarity between the number of disappearances at the Bermuda Triangle and any other parts of the area in the world, including the Alaska Triangle.

Kruszelnicki reiterated the fact that the region where the ships enter the Atlantic Ocean does encompass any unusual characteristics and there is 'nothing out of the ordinary' about the Triangle.

The scientist added: “According to Lloyd’s of London and the US Coastguard the number that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on a percentage basis."

Flight 19, which entered the Bermuda Triangle way back in 1945, was a training flight of five Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that took off from Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Mystery long plagued the flight that had 14 crew members, all of which were experienced Navy airmen.

However, the mystery was solved some 30 years later in 1975 when librarian and historian Larry Kusche published his investigation about the phenomenon.

After a comprehensive examination of the official reports on the ships, Kusche arrived at the conclusion that the reason for their disappearance was largely attributed to 'adverse weather conditions'.
