Flight 19 should of keep going West, at least they would of hit land. Maybe they did not have enough gas to make it to texas, but it would of been better than going East at any cost in my opinion..

Hmmmm. Sudden bad weather, pilots that doubted their compasses (compasses that swung wildly), empty boats.....
I didn't hear the theory of piracy in the case of the Ruth. Given that the boat did not look sea battered, perhaps the occupants were simply robbed and consigned to the sea (dead or alive). No follow up on any forensic work though (do I watch too much TV CSIs?)
People like to think they are in control. But that belief can be seriously challenged when you are out of sight of land. This info. gave obvious likely solutions. There are others that are also of this planet, but not so obvious. Boats can hit and be sunk by whales. Some think that a large squid could seriously affect a boat (the legend of the Kracken is portrayed as a squid or octopus.) More later. Must watch more TV.

I find enough 'excitement' keeping my feet planted on firm land. I don't mind fresh water lakes and such I can swim like a fish but salt water makes me very uneasy. I love to look at it but I'm never comfortable in the ocean.

This is an article about Bruce Gernon (I prefer to read rather than Utube) but his story is really interesting and to me.. feasible.

I love to look at it but I'm never comfortable in the ocean. Don't watch River Monsters. New info - sharks can and do swim up rivers for 100s of miles. There has been a verified shark attack way up the Mississippi River and also one in the GREAT LAKES. The show I saw recently - he was in Australia and in a section of a river that had been dammed for 80 years. He found young sharks (Bull sharks) in fresh water ABOVE the dam. Dam (n)!

Some of the infamous attacks that took place in New Jersey in the summer of 1916 also occurred in a river, 16 miles inland from the ocean. I saw a documentary once that said there was a meat processing plant upriver that had been dumping bloody waste into the river. That may explain why the sharks swam up the river. Here is an interesting article about it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_Shore_shark_attacks_of_1916Getting back to the Bermuda Triangle though, I just watched a very interesting documentary a few days ago about the missing planes of Flight 19 that disappeared on December 5, 1945. At the time everybody believed that the planes were lost somewhere over the Atlantic ocean and that is where the Navy carried out the search but was unable to find anything. According to the documentary there were two different reports that came in the day the planes went missing that said that a group of five unidentified planes had been spotted heading west over southern Georgia. The documentary was speculating that the planes may have crashed into the swamps in that area instead of over the ocean and that might explain why no wreckage from the planes of Flight 19 has ever been found in the ocean. It is an interesting idea and might be worth looking into.

Sky . you should not be talking about sharks before you go to bed. . You know your past dreams of them. I had heard this story many years ago. How awful. I don't live near a ocean.

I'm still trying to find out more about it. So far I've read that they have found at least 55 of the same type of Avenger planes that flight 19 were flying out in the ocean in the general area where they were thought to have disappeared. Most of them were old or damaged planes that were no longer worth repairing so they crashed them into the ocean on purpose. What a waste...they should have given them to me. Not all of them were able to be identified though so they don't know that they weren't from the missing flight. I haven't heard of any that were found over the land though. There are a lot of swamps out in the Florida/Georgia area and I suppose it is theoretically possible they could be out there somewhere. If they were you would think somebody would have found them by now though. It's not like nobody ever goes out into the swamps.

Now that I think about it, it is possible somebody has found them. If they are back in the swamps somewhere some old fisherman or alligator hunter could have found the wreckage but never knew they were from flight 19 because everybody thinks they went down over the ocean. The dude might just think it is from some old plane crash and not even given it a second thought.

They know the serial number on each plane. None have matched. A few years ago a diver found some planes off the coast of Florida, I was very excited all day waited for this show to be aired. They did have numbers on those planes and none matched flight 19. This poor guy who searches underwater had spent his life searching for the avengers . he was disappointed.. I can imagine how he must of felt. I was too.
They should of stayed on a westerly course no matter which way was home. One pilot keep saying, if the documentary is correct. we must go west and we will get home. But the head pilot stayed on the present course out to sea. And what in the world caused that search plane to blow up. Has it ever been proven what happen to it. I did not think they found parts of this plane as well.

This is not appropriate for this thread but I've always wanted to tell my dream when I was 15, most of my family knows of the dream. I had no reason to have a dream like this. I knew nothing about flight 19 at all. I dreamed of planes going under the Florida keys to the west and got into the gulf of Mexico after awhile they turned around. It was just like me flying above land and looking down on earthquakes.. . all these planes turned around and started back toward Florida, it was clear as a bell to see it. The water was so beautiful and calm. Then one plane went into the water, I was scared to death, so I closed my eyes in this dream and willed my self awake. .
When I told my Mother she laughed and said you have read about flight 19 somewhere, I told her no and she continued to fill me in. She also stated they went out to sea and ran out of gas. I told her maybe these are not those planes in my dream. lol .
There I told it, something keeps nagging at me to put it out there. lol lol lol .. Ive never understood that dream. I should of stayed asleep a while longer but if one knows he is having a night mare dream he can wake his self up. At least I can. I was 15 and maybe I had read about the flight in school, but I do not recall it.

sites.google.com/site/paranormalzonex/Paranormal/unknown-mystery-0Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle Science Fiction or Science Fact? Does the Bermuda Triangle have some type of mysterious force behind it or is it all just make-believe? Some explanations blame left over technology from the mythical continent of Atlantis. Others claim that it may be caused by UFOs or some unknown force. Rational explanations appear to be human error, weather phenomena and an improper label. Science fiction or science fact? What are some of the possible causes of the mysterious disappearances in this area of the Atlantic Ocean? One thing that remains similar in most cases is the fact that there appears to be some magnetic interference, but why this occurs, is the big mystery. Triangle writers have used a number of supernatural concepts to explain the events. One explanation pins the blame on leftover technology from the mythical lost continent of Atlantis. Sometimes connected to the Atlantis story is the submerged rock formation known as the Bimini Road off the island of Bimini in the Bahamas, which is in the Triangle by some definitions. Followers of the purported psychic Edgar Cayce take his prediction that evidence of Atlantis would be found in 1968 as referring to the discovery of the Bimini Road. Believers describe the formation as a road, wall, or other structure, though geologists consider it to be of natural origin. Other writers attribute the events to UFOs. This idea was used by Steven Spielberg for his science fiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which features the lost Flight 19 aircrews as alien abductees. The boundaries of the triangle cover the Straits of Florida, the Bahamas and the entire Caribbean island area and the Atlantic east to the Azores.

Could Gas Explosions Explain Bermuda Triangle Mystery?By Tanya Lewis, Staff Writer | October 14, 2014 The discovery of several mysterious craters in Siberia earlier this year launched a wave of speculation about their origins. Now, a new report suggests an explanation for the holes, claiming it could also be linked to the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle.
In July, Siberian reindeer herders discovered a huge crater on the Yamal Peninsula, which means "end of the world." Later, two more gaping holes were found, one in the Taz District and one on the Taymyr Peninsula. But while scientists speculated as to the cause of these weird Siberian holes, their origin remained a mystery.
In July, Russian scientists reported in the journal Nature that the explosive release of gases trapped in the permafrost — known as methane hydrates — likely carved out the enormous sinkholes. Air near the crater's bottom contained unusually high concentrations of methane, they said. Mysterious happenings
But now, researchers have gone even further, suggesting that methane hydrates could be responsible for the disappearances of ships and aircraft under supposedly mysterious circumstances in the Bermuda Triangle, according to The Siberian Times, which cited a report in Science in Siberia, a weekly publication of the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Bermuda Triangle is a region some people say exists in the North Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico; many others dispute its existence. But regardless of whether the Bermuda Triangle exists, the idea that methane release could sink ships holds some water, scientists say.
"It is very probable that the similar sinkholes in the ocean were produced [as a result] of decomposing gas hydrates,"said Vladimir Romanovsky, a geophysicist who studies permafrost at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, but who was not involved in the study.
Methane is normally solid under the crushing pressures of the deep sea, but chunks of the icelike substance can break off and form gas bubbles that rise to the surface.
"Gas hydrate is known to exist along the U.S. North Atlantic continental margin, with a very large province on Blake Ridge (north of the Bermuda Triangle)," Benjamin Phrampus, an Earth scientist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, told Live Science in an email.
Loose bubbles sink ships
In fact, a 2003 study published in the American Journal of Physics found that such bubbles could indeed sink ships, at least in principle. For that study, researchers built a model ship hull and released a large bubble underneath it, filming what happened. If the ship was in the right position above the bubble, the vessel would lose buoyancy and sink, the researchers said.
But even though the phenomenon worked with a model ship, there's no evidence that it ever actually occurred, Phrampus said. In addition, such large-scale methane releases have not been reported in recent history, when the ship and airplane disappearances supposedly took place within the Bermuda Triangle. The last time the ocean floor was venting gas in that area was after the last ice age, about 20,000 years ago, Phrampus said.
"I personally see it as an interesting theory and nothing more," he said.
The U.S. Navy does not believe the Bermuda Triangle exists, and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names does not recognize it as an official name. The insurance market Lloyd's of London determined that no more ships have sunk in that region than in other parts of the ocean, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.www.livescience.com/48290-siberian-holes-bermuda-triangle-mystery.html

Ship lost for over 90 years has been found... Bermuda Triangle: Ship Reappears 90 Years After Going Missing Havana| The Cuban Coast Guard announced this morning, that they had intercepted an unmanned ship heading for the island, which is presumed to be the SS Cotopaxi, a tramp steamer which vanished in December 1925 and has since been connected to the legend of the Bermuda Triangle. The Cuban authorities spotted the ship for the first time on May 16, near a restricted military zone, west of Havana. They made many unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the crew, and finally mobilized three patrol boats to intercept it. When they reached it, they were surprised to find that the ship was actually a nearly 100-year old steamer identified as the Cotopaxi, a name famously associated with the legend of the Bermuda Triangle. There was no one on board and the ship seemed to have been abandoned for decades, suggesting that this could actually be the tramp freighter that disappeared in 1925. An exhaustive search of the ship led to the discovery of the captain’s logbook. It was, indeed, associated with the Clinchfield Navigation Company, the owners of the SS Cotopaxi, but hasn’t brought any clue concerning what happened to the ship over the last 90 years. worldnewsdailyreport.com/bermuda-triangle-ship-reappears-90-years-after-going-missing/

mysteriousuniverse.org/2017/04/scientist-bursts-bermuda-triangle-methane-bubble-theory/ Scientist Bursts Bermuda Triangle Methane Bubble Theory April 30, 2017 by Paul Seaburn / mysteriousuniverse.org/author/paulseaburn/ If scientists can’t solve the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle by direct discovery, perhaps they can do it by process of elimination. One of the more popular recent theories is that the area is directly above a massive methane gas deposit that occasionally releases a massive methane gas bubble … or possibly millions of tiny bubbles (not the kind that make anyone feel happy) … which create a liquid sinkhole that swallows ships and a whoosh of methane that knocks planes out of the sky into said sinkhole. It would make a decent movie plot … aliens living under the ocean and controlling this deadly game of Reverse Whack-a-Mole (patent pending) would help … but a video released this week by a physicist appears to lets the methane out of this bubble theory. Helen Czerski is a physicist and oceanographer at the University College London and the author of Storm In A Teacup: The Physics of Everyday Life. While accepting that the release of a massive amount of methane from the ocean floor is possible, in the video she breaks down the bubble theory by breaking down the bubbles. "The first thing is that this whoosh of gas is going to break up into small bubbles, really, really quickly. It doesn’t rise as one massive, great big bubble. It pushes up on the ship, much more strongly than the ship is falling into the bubbles. The bubbles actually make the ship go up, not down." So Czerski says the bubbles don’t cause the ocean to collapse into a sinkhole. Instead, they cause rising turbulence around the bottom of a boat. While serious and probably smelly, she believes the worst thing that could happen is that the turbulence tips the vessel on its side, thus sinking it. Except … "Every ship is built to prevent that from happening." Czerski points out that airtight compartments in the hold keep ships from tilting over. Well, that’s a relief. Make sure your compartments are airtight and you can sail through the Bermuda Triangle without fear of being sunk by bubbles.

Bermuda Triangle mystery 'solved,' scientists claimAugust 1, 2018
Location of the Bermuda Triangle in the Atlantic Ocean (iStock) (Lightguard)
British scientists believe 100ft ‘rogue’ waves could be the reason why so many boats have been sunk in the mysterious Bermuda Triangle.
The infamous body of water in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean stretches 700,000 square km (270,271 square miles) between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto-Rico.
Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, the area features multiple shipping lanes and has claimed over 1,000 lives in the last 100 years.
But experts at the University of Southampton believe the mystery can be explained by a natural phenomenon known as “rogue waves.”
Appearing on Channel 5 documentary “The Bermuda Triangle Enigma,” the scientists use indoor simulators to re-create the monster water surges.
Rogue waves – which only last for a few minutes - were first observed by satellites in 1997 off the coast of South Africa.
Some have even measured 30 metres (nearly 100ft) high.
The research team built a model of the USS Cyclops, a huge vessel which went missing in the triangle in 1918 claiming 300 lives.
And because of its sheer size and flat base, it does not take long before the model is overcome with water during the simulation.
Dr. Simon Boxall, an ocean and earth scientist, says that infamous area in the Atlantic can see three massive storms coming together from different directions – the perfect conditions for a rogue wave.
Boxall believes such a surge in water could snap a boat, such as the Cyclops, in TWO.
He said: “There are storms to the south and north, which come together.
“And if there are additional ones from Florida, it can be a potentially deadly formation of rogue waves.
“They are steep, they are high – we’ve measured waves in excess of 30 metres.
