These areas are evenly set along one of two latitudinal lines along the Earth, with the exception of the North and South poles, and follow a specific zig-zag pattern that can be seen on a map. These sites mark areas that are said to be a breeding ground for supernatural or extraordinary phenomena such as missing ships, mysterious plane crashes, and other unexplained events of historical scale. The Bermuda Triangle is one of twelve spots on the Earth considered to be a “Vile Vortex”, as coined and catalogued by scientist and writer Ivan Sanderson. It seems as if anyone considering an extreme tourism trip to the Bermuda Triangle will be cancelling their plane tickets. Think of it as one wave double bouncing another. These waves occur spontaneously when normally large waves crash against each other in ways that multiply their strength. Contrary to stories of supernatural phenomena, scientists have proposed the idea that the infamous area bordered by Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico has such a high frequency of shipwrecks because of the how prone the area is to the creation of ‘rogue waves’.
Well, the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle seems to have been solved.
