An oceanographer explained the disappearance of ships in the Bermuda Triangle.
According to University of Southampton oceanographer Simon Boxall, storms often form to the south and north in that part of the Atlantic. When they overlap and are reinforced by storms coming from Florida, there is a risk of giant waves forming. This was reported in the Daily Mail.
"Such waves are capable of breaking even a large ship literally in half within minutes. Many sailors didn't even have time to send a distress signal," Boxall explained.
He noted that, contrary to popular belief, the danger to large ships is even greater: the bigger the vessel, the more severe the damage that "killer waves" can inflict.
The Bermuda Triangle — the area of ocean between Florida, the Bermuda Islands and Puerto Rico — became famous in the 1970s thanks to theories about the mysterious disappearances of ships and aircraft.
