The Bermuda Rectangle
Longtime, no blog... so i was watching a documentary last night (go figure) about the Bermuda Triangle. I love crazy supernatural shit like this... give me a Atlantis & the Bermuda Triangle mystery any day. I'd love to spend my entire life "solving" one of those.
The first thing I learned from this doc was that the Bermuda Triangle is no longer just a triangle stretching from the bottom of Florida over to Puerto Rico and up to Bermuda. Now it also includes the entire coast of eastern Florida up to North Carolina and then extending to Bermuda. So it's more like a rectangle. And the reason they did this was stupid. But I'll get to that later.
The second thing I learned was that there is enough natural gas under the Atlantic off the coast of the Carolina's to power the entire United States for 70 years. That's handy, eh?
The third and final thing I learned was that they really don't have any clue what happens in the Bermuda Triangle. This doc raised more questions than it answered and that tends to tick me off.
The reason that the triangle is now a rectangle is because of the giant amount of natural gas off the coast of the Carolina's. Let's say there's a landslide or earthquake under the ocean that causes a large sudden release of this natural gas... that would cause an "explosion" on the surface of the ocean that could literally swallow a ship. Without a trace.
This is all very interesting except that this part of the rectangle (a) isn't part of the original Bermuda Triangle and (b) isn't where most of the real mysteries occurred. Including the two they were trying to solve in this documentary. The "mystery" of Flight 19 and how another grouping of 5 navy planes off the coast of Ft. Lauderdale got there. Nowhere near all the natural gas! It's like they added on to the triangle because this particular stretch of ocean has an environmental phenomenon that could cause problems that would scientifically explain the mysteries the real triangle is known for. The only problem is that it's not really part of the Bermuda Triangle!!
Two hours of my life. Gone. Grrr...
