Mystery of Bermuda Triangle Solved, Scientist Claims

A scientist from Australia claims he has finally solved the mystery surrounding the Bermuda Triangle. Karl Kruszelnicki, a researcher at Sydney University, has found evidence to suggest that supernatural forces are not to blame for the disappearance of planes and boats in the area.

Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle is a vast area in the North Atlantic, stretching over 700,000 square kilometers between Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. Over the years, numerous reports have emerged of planes and ships going missing without a trace in this region.

However, according to Kruszelnicki, these incidents can now be explained by natural causes rather than unexplained phenomena.

Kruszelnickci’s Theory

Kruszelnicki has put forward a theory suggesting that the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle are not unusual, given the amount of traffic passing through the area, particularly from nearby countries like the United States.

Kruszelnicki referenced statistics from Lloyd’s of London and the US Coastguard, which indicate that the percentage of missing planes and boats in the Bermuda Triangle is similar to that of other regions across the world.

Case of Flight 19

Kruszelnicki also discussed the case of Flight 19, one of the most well-known disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. On December 5, 1945, five US Navy TBM Avenger torpedo bombers took off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for a routine training mission.

All five planes, carrying a total of 14 crew members, disappeared without a trace. A PBM-Mariner seaplane dispatched on a search-and-rescue mission to find Flight 19 also vanished, along with its 13 crew members. No wreckage from either aircraft was ever found.

Kruszelnicki maintains that the disappearance of Flight 19 was most likely due to rough weather conditions in the Atlantic that day, with waves as high as 15 meters. This is despite reports at the time suggesting that conditions were ideal for flying on December 5, 1945.

Kruszelnicki also pointed out that of the five pilots on board, only Lieutenant Charles Taylor was an experienced aviator. However, Taylor had a history of poor judgment, including two previous incidents where he had gotten lost and crashed his plane. On the day of the disappearance, Taylor showed up with a hangover and without a watch.

Transcripts From Flight 19

Transcripts from the flight indicate that Taylor believed the plane should fly east, while a junior pilot suggested turning west. However, Taylor overruled this suggestion, leading the patrol further over the Atlantic.

Kruszelnicki also noted that the area of the ocean where the planes disappeared is particularly deep, making the recovery of wreckage more challenging. As for the search-and-rescue seaplane, Kruszelnicki suggests that it may have exploded in the air.
