sport plane lost with 33 aboard. 1954: US Navy Lockheed Constellation vanishes with 42 aboard. 1956: US Navy seaplane, Martin p5M, dessappears with crew of ten. 1962: US Air Force KB-50 tanker plane lost. 1963: Marine Sulpher Queen vanishes without a trace. 1967: Military YC-122, converted to cargo plane, lost. 1970: French freighter Milton latrides disappears. 1972: German freighter Anita (20,000 tons), lost with crew of 32. 1997: Passengers dissappear from German yacht.Theories:A very skeptical scientific explanation of the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle is the idea is that pockets of methane hydrates are released from the ocean floor and cause the water in that particular area to become less dense. Because of the loss of density the buoyancy of the ship is affected and the ship sinks rapidly. Scientist supposedly confirm that the area of the triangle is high in Methane hydrates and methane gas does tend to float above the oil deposits.Indeed the one instance that tends to be reported is an oil rig that sank supposedly due to methane gas. It seems like this theory could easily be proven or disproven using a simple bunsen burner, a toy boat, and bathtub but it seems that the theory is much more complicated that it seems. The sudden release of methane gas may rock the boat but I doubt it would cause a lack of buoyancy. I would assume that as with most sea floor activity, the water above would react in some way. But is this really any different than tidal waves being caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions? While skeptical about the methane gas theory, I do not discard it outright because nature does some very strange things. This is at least a natural occurrence that is worth exploring. Elctrical and magnetical forces Magnetic North This is one of the most famous Bermuda Triangle theories. It has basis on the following physics: A compass DOES NOT always point to the true north but rather to the magnetic n...
