the legend of the Bermuda Triangle it's one of the few Mysteries we still can't solve let's rewind back about 600 years The Story begins with an Italian man he wanted to sail across the ocean to reach Asia a continent rich with spices silk minerals you know that kind of stuff getting there by land would take ridiculously long so he figured hey why not to build some sturdy ships to gather a couple of sailors and set off it to Asia water could go wrong that man was Christopher Columbus by the way in 1492 With a Little
Help from Spain's royal family he embarked on his journey everything was going well I mean apart from totally going the wrong way but as he got to the end of his voyage he noticed something very strange he didn't know it at the time but he was sailing through the infamous Bermuda Triangle the BT the point of no return the scary place between Bermuda Puerto Rico and Florida there are loads of stories of ships boats and planes disappearing into this mysterious realm some were found years later and some disappeared off the face of the Earth lying
undiscovered at the bottom of the ocean Maybe we know one thing for sure we have no clue what's going on over there people have been trying to figure it out for years but nothing zip nada so what was it that Christopher Columbus saw that fateful evening what freaked him out so bad according to his logs Columbus saw a huge flash in the sky I don't care how tough you are if you're sailing around with no clue where you are then you see a massive flash right in front of you you'd find me hiding below deck
chewing on a lemon or something that's not the only sea mystery out there not by a long shot heard of the Kraken a giant squid that can swallow a whole ship no you're lucky imagine cruising on a ship wind in your hair hands on your hips like you know those old pirate movies then a huge squid creeps up on you from deep down in the cold Dark Water it wraps its tentacles around the ship and drags the whole thing to the bottom of the ocean good thing you packed a life raft how about a colossal
sea serpent chasing your boat at full speed looking for a midday snack that thing is called a leviathan and you better hope it's not real or Sirens mean but beautiful creatures of the sea they like to hang out on rocks and sing karaoke their magical voices attract Sailors who sail their ships right into the sharp rocks now mermaids on the other hand totally awesome they like karaoke too but they're not into the whole chip smashing thing good old mermaids they're real right and let's not forget pig-legged Pirates ah Luton Raiden say an R every two
seconds are what else do those guys do all day so back to our Italian Friend Columbus [Music] just saw a thunderstorm duh why didn't he think of that well I'm not 600 years old and I wasn't there how on Earth would I know weird thing is he never mentioned any huge waves or heavy rain no strong winds either just a single flash in the sky maybe some Dolphins were setting off fireworks or something after the flash Columbus wrote that his compass needle started dancing all over the place this keeps getting weirder and weirder his report
ends with a friendly turtle with sunglasses jumping out of the water pushing the three ships to Shore and everyone went out to get hot dogs only kidding so what happened scientists now think they've got the answer drum roll [Music] an asteroid crashed into the ocean case closed but wait what about that stuff with the compass what does that have to do with an asteroid asteroids come in all different shapes and sizes but they're like chocolate eggs the best parts on the inside they're packed full of minerals and metals worth trillions of dollars scientists are even
trying to figure out how to land on a big one and mine it it'd have to be a really big one I'm talking about an asteroid the size of Rhode Island why because chances are it'd have a magnetic field around it making it way easier to land on scientists think that the magnetic fields around some asteroids can last for millions of years mystery solved maybe Captain Christopher Columbus's Compass went cuckoo crazy because of an asteroid crashing right in front of him that actually might explain some other strange Bermuda Tales the voyage started just like any
other the cargo ship SS Cotopaxi is making another journey to Havana Cuba to deliver coal it's November 29 1925. for Captain Meyer and his crew leaving Charleston port South Carolina it will be the last trip the ship ever makes is rude ran through the Bermuda Triangle two days into the trip the Cotopaxi sent out a distress signal ITA got caught up in a strong tropical storm and turned over on its side the wind was very strong and there was powerful lightning as well rain gradually filled the ship's hole then there was a bright white Flash
and the ship disappeared Without a Trace later its wreckage was found in the Gobi desert which is in a completely different part of the world all 32 crew members including the captain were missing of course the part about the Gobi desert is fictional for one of his movies Steven Spielberg came up with the idea that the ship was moved there by aliens still in real life the ship was never found and its crew really did disappear it was officially declared missing a month afterward and nobody could find the wreck it seems like a classic case
of mysterious things going on in the Bermuda Triangle but most Mysteries are solved sooner or later in 2020 Dakota paxi was found a man named Michael Barnett had moved to Florida to study shipwrecks off the coast one wreck in particular really caught his attention it was much larger than the others and the locals called it the bear wreck it was about 40 miles from Saint Augustine in Northern Florida but no one had ever managed to identify the rusty Hull so Michael started to do some detective work he measured the size of the Shipwreck and started
working through all the information he could find he researched hundreds of old newspapers Leaf through Insurance records and looked at artifacts found on the wreck after hundreds of hours of hard work Michael was sure it was the Cotopaxi but a few years before there had been a rumor that the same ship had been found off the coast of Cuba the Coast Guard found the wreck of a cargo ship about the same size that looked a lot like the one lost in 1925. Michael was sure they were wrong so he teamed up with some science journalists
and kept investigating soon they discovered something that seemed to confirm Michael's belief divers found brass valves with the letters SV on them in the wreckage of the ship Michael suggested these initials referred to Scott valve Manufacturing Company the headquarters of this company was in Michigan not far from where the code of Taxi had been built the company had probably supplied parts for the Cotopaxi so the puzzles seemed to be solved the bear wreck was really the missing cargo ship but Michael still needed to work out why the ship had sunk did something mysterious really happen
to the Cotopaxi in the Bermuda Triangle later Michael found the testimony of the ship's Carpenter among some old papers the carpenter claimed that the hatches covering the coal on the ship had been in a terrible condition before it sank repair work on the covers wasn't finished before the crew got the order to sail to Cuba so if the hatch covers were still broken during the trip water could have easily gotten on board this water probably flooded the hole during the tropical storm this was the real reason why the Cotopaxi went down there was really nothing
mysterious about it it was just a mistake made by Ordinary People but this is just one example out of dozens or even hundreds where ships and planes have gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle we still can't explain some of these incidents it seems like there really is something weird going on there one of these strange events happened in 1948 a passenger jet was headed for Miami from San Juan Puerto Rico it disappeared in the same area as the Cotopaxi the 32 people on board vanished without a trace the weather was clear throughout the flight but
experts think that when the plane was about 50 miles from the coast it could have been hit by a strong wind that knocked it off course years later a similar plane was found in the area of the Bermuda Triangle but because no one could work out the registration it was impossible to say for sure if it was the same one something even stranger occurred not long before in 1945 planes went missing all at the same time some trainee Pilots were practicing their navigation skills but when they finished it seems they couldn't find their way back
home and disappeared many people assumed they just ran out of fuel this seems likely but still the circumstances were really strange the trainees were being supervised by an experienced pilot who had 2 500 hours of flight time he would never have led a group of newbie Pilots get that far away from their base even now people still debate what could have happened some insist the pilots ran into something Supernatural out there in the Bermuda Triangle but who knows the airplane involved was a Beechcraft Bonanza single-engine aircraft on board pilot Bruce gernon had two passengers his
father and business partner they took off from Andros Island in the Bahamas and headed Northwest for the Florida coast it was December 4th 1970. if you drop a map trace a line connecting the island of Bermuda Puerto Rico Miami and Baxter Bermuda what do you get yes it's a triangle a Sinister polygon known for mysteriously swallowing over 2 000 ships and 200 aircraft over the centuries Bruce gernon's plane was within its hungry grasp but this was a typical flight Bruce had made dozens of times before the trip usually took about an hour and a half
with no hiccups or mysterious phenomena whatsoever the men were no more concerned than you would be during your daily commute to work oh but this time would be different they would face very unusual circumstances indeed Bruce took off and started gaining altitude strange things started happening right from the get-go at an altitude of about a thousand feet he noticed a small Cloud up ahead but it kept growing not from the plane getting closer this thing was actually getting bigger in size Bruce had to fly through it and he came out the other end just fine
another mysterious Cloud appeared at 11 500 feet this one was massive and Bruce had no other choice but to fly through it too so he concentrated took a deep breath and in they went at that moment it got dark as night all around the aircraft not a single sliver of sunshine got through but this wasn't a storm cloud and it wasn't raining Bruce was starting to get worried and then bam he saw flashes of white light they would appear and vanish quickly like lightning but this pilot knew this certainly was no lightning the flashes were
so bright they lit up the whole Space around them Bruce kept flying for another 30 minutes when he realized this was the same Cloud he had gone through earlier when he started to climb but now the cloud was cylindrical and the plane was flying through its Center it was about one mile wide and seemed endless Bruce thought he could never get out of that trap but a minute later he saw light at the end of the tunnel he kept that yoke Straight Ahead he was almost out of this nightmare but all of the sudden unexplainable
things started happening again the walls of the cloud tunnel began to narrow they were closing in on the plane the navigational instruments started wigging out the compass was spinning by itself counterclockwise the electronic instruments were all malfunctioning it was like the plane was being operated by something else or it was moving inside some kind of current all of Bruce's attempts to take control were to no avail he kept flying through that tunnel bound and determined to get out of this thing and live to tell the tale the walls kept narrowing smaller and smaller rapping like
a Vortex Bruce was running out of time he had to get out of this place fast the next 20 seconds were the most intense of his life but then he burst out of this foggy trap as Bruce described later he felt weightless for five seconds as his plane left the tunnel the clouds dispersed and now the aircraft was in a grayish Haze the men let out a big sigh of relief he immediately grabbed the radio and contacted Ground Control Bruce wanted them to determine his location but when the dispatcher looked at the green screen his
face became contorted with confusion Bruce's plane wasn't on the radar it was as if the thing was invisible but then the dispatcher said the aircraft was already in Miami airspace Bruce was utterly shocked by this information it just couldn't be true the distance the beachcraft was supposed to cover was about 250 miles remember the whole trip usually took around 90 minutes but this time it took just 47 minutes to get to the destination this model of aircraft can only cruise at about 180 miles per hour do the math and anyone would understand that this was
physically impossible the dispatcher must have made a mistake but when the clouds parted Bruce saw that he really was over Miami the plane landed safely and it was time to try and solve this mystery so what happened on that flight Bruce checked the remaining fuel in his watch after a short calculation he was only more confused the plane hadn't gone through the amount of fuel it should have Bruce couldn't have been wrong he was a very experienced pilot by his early twenties he already had 600 hours of flight under his belt and he was all
too familiar with this airspace he'd flown countless times all the evidence in hand seemed to indicate that Bruce's plane just skipped over almost half the entire distance the man thought about this bizarre occurrence for a long time he even consulted with professors and experts but none of them could give an exact answer to what happened that day so he came up with his own Theory and even wrote a book about it Bruce thought it all came down to this electric fog with white flashes others however theorized that dark energy was responsible for this timely yes
that same Dark Energy responsible for the expansion of the universe this energy could have curved time space like a black hole forming this strange tunnel Bruce accidentally hit it but he was lucky to get out of there that's how he got into Miami airspace so fast but dark energy is just a theory attempting to explain the unexplainable to this day there is no real answer for how Bruce was able to travel that distance in such a short time but some details still can be explained archive records show that 84 sunspots were recorded that day as
well as a huge solar wind moving almost 440 miles per second this would cause disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere that could throw off the plane's instruments and Radars so Bruce's version that he was in an electronic fog could be right and about these weird clouds the thing is they're pretty commonplace things in this area zones with low and high pressure are constantly colliding there the result storm clouds that's it for today so hey if you pacified your curiosity then give the video a like and share it with your friends or if you want more just
