The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle has been revealed ?

News24xx.com -  Bermuda Triangle is one of the most feared stretches of water in the world and has is thought to have claimed dozens of ships and planes in the last century.

Bermuda Triangle is a patch of sea between Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda.

For many years, researchers believe the waves up to 100 ft high, should be to blame for some of the disasters which have taken place in the Devil’s Triangle. Last year, a prominent scientist claimed there was no such thing as the Bermuda Triangle and said disasters were probably caused by human error.

But now a new theory has been put forward to explain the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, where hundreds of people have lost their lives. 

The researchers is a team from the University of Southhampton recreated these ‘extreme storm waves’ for a Channel 5 documentary called ‘The Bermuda Triangle Enigma’. 

The scientists built a model of the USS Cyclops, a huge vessel which went missing in the triangle in 1918 and resulted in 309 deaths.

The Cyclops was a 542ft vessel used to carry coal to American warships during World War One and was travelling from Bahia, in Salvador, to Baltimore when it vanished in 1918. No wreckage or trace of is 306 crew and passengers have ever been discovered.

Dr Simon Boxall, an ocean and earth scientist, said the Bermuda Triangle is often hit by three massive storms coming together from different directions to form huge rogue waves. Boxall believes such a surge in water could snap a boat in two.

"There are storms to the south and north, which come together. And if there are additional ones from Florida, it can be a potentially deadly formation of rogue waves. They are steep, they are high."

But, this theory is unlikely to be accepted by everyone.
