According to The Independent, recently, Australian scientist Karl Kruszelnicki confirmed that the reason why so many ships and planes disappeared without a trace in the area between Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico has nothing to do with aliens.
Instead, scientist Kruszelnicki believes that the cause of many missing ships and airplanes here is nothing supernatural, but just eternal human mistakes, bad weather and the fact that
Mr. Kruszelnicki regularly attracts public attention for repeatedly making this same thought about the Bermuda Triangle, first in 2017, then again in 2022 and again in 2017.
Up to now, many mysterious disappearances have caused the press to give this sea area misleading names such as Hodoo Sea, Devil’s Triangle… Mr. Kruszelnicki told news.com.au that the Bermuda Triangle is not only
Therefore, when comparing the number of disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle with the large number of ships and planes passing through this area, we will see nothing unusual.
Mr. Kruszelnicki also said there are simple explanations for one disappearance that started all the speculation about the Bermuda Triangle: It was the disappearance of “Flight 19.”
This is the flight of five US Navy TBM Avenger torpedo bombers, departing from Fort Lauderdale (Florida) on December 5, 1945 for a routine two-hour training mission over the Atlantic Ocean.
After losing radio contact with the base, all five planes disappeared.
Even more strangely, it was later claimed that a PBM-Mariner seaplane dispatched that night to search for Flight 19 had also disappeared along with 13 crew members.
Due to lack of knowledge or inability to verify information, speculation about Flight 19 exploded, especially after 1964, when author Vincent Gaddis advanced his hypothesis in an article titled “
Mr. Kruszelnicki pointed out that Lloyd’s of London would not agree with author Gaddis’s statistical analysis, and offered simplistic explanations about Flight 19.
First, Mr. Kruszelnicki affirmed that although author Gaddis said that the group of American planes disappeared under ideal flying conditions, the weather at that time was not good, with waves 15 meters high.
Mr. Kruszelnicki said: “He arrived drunk, flew off without a watch and had gotten lost and had to abandon the plane twice before.
Information showed that Taylor thought his compass was malfunctioning and that he was over the Florida Keys – an island chain extending southwest of the continental US, when in fact, subsequent analysis by ground staff
Mr. Kruszelnicki said Taylor overruled a junior pilot who said they should turn west.
What’s even scarier about the mysterious disappearance of Flight 19 in the Bermuda Triangle, according to author Gaddis and others, is the fate of the search-and-rescue seaplane that itself disappeared.
There were several witnesses who saw the explosion.
However, it remains to be seen whether famous scientist Kruszelnicki will be successful in his efforts to close the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.
