1
00:00:04,430 --> 00:00:07,970
Welcome to the most notorious stretch of
ocean on Earth.
2
00:00:08,810 --> 00:00:15,090
It's been called the Devil's Triangle or
Hurricane Alley.
3
00:00:15,950 --> 00:00:19,890
But most of us know it as the Bermuda
Triangle.
4
00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:26,529
500 ,000 square miles of the Atlantic
that has terrified and perplexed
5
00:00:26,530 --> 00:00:32,409
travelers, explorers, and even
scientists for centuries.
6
00:00:35,210 --> 00:00:40,109
Since the time of Christopher Columbus,
these waters have been home to many
7
00:00:40,110 --> 00:00:43,910
unusual and unexplainable disasters and
disappearances.
8
00:00:46,870 --> 00:00:53,430
Ships, planes, and unsuspecting
travelers lost without a trace.
9
00:00:54,270 --> 00:00:58,290
But where have they gone, and why did
they vanish?
10
00:01:02,390 --> 00:01:04,489
Tonight, we aim to find out.
11
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,800
In spite of the danger, we'll enter the
Bermuda Triangle by sea and by air.
12
00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:18,740
We'll search the depth for evidence of
the triangle's alleged destructive
13
00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:26,199
And finally, we'll reveal a shocking new
theory, one that could completely
14
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,440
redraw the map.
15
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,440
It's a mystery that could impact our
entire planet.
16
00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:38,700
As we go in search of the Bermuda
Triangle.
17
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,540
Have a look at this map of the southern
Atlantic coast of the United States.
18
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:57,960
Now, I want you to try something.
19
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:04,040
Draw three straight lines between Miami,
Bermuda, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
20
00:02:04,970 --> 00:02:06,770
That seems harmless enough, right?
21
00:02:08,009 --> 00:02:13,769
But what if I told you that this area,
which is about the size of Alaska, has
22
00:02:13,770 --> 00:02:18,330
been the site of over 50 ship
disappearances in just the past century?
23
00:02:19,530 --> 00:02:23,630
It's also been the site of at least 1
,000 fatalities during that stretch.
24
00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:29,790
Even those who've managed to survive
have reported many strange anomalies
25
00:02:31,630 --> 00:02:36,609
The triangle's countless tragic deaths
remain unsolved mysteries because
26
00:02:36,610 --> 00:02:39,550
today still can't agree on the cause.
27
00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:47,349
Is it possible that a strange and deadly
power truly lies within these three
28
00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:48,400
boundaries?
29
00:02:48,430 --> 00:02:50,590
There's only one way to find out.
30
00:02:50,950 --> 00:02:54,110
We have to enter the triangle ourselves.
31
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,600
is the custodian of historic wrecks for
the island of Bermuda.
32
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,979
And he thinks he's found one of the key
causes of all of this area's
33
00:03:08,980 --> 00:03:10,030
destruction.
34
00:03:10,031 --> 00:03:13,679
It's hard to believe on a day of commas
that this is one of the most treacherous
35
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,730
places on Earth.
36
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,140
He manages the sites of over 300
shipwrecks around the island.
37
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,730
Shipwreck here, shipwreck there,
shipwreck there.
38
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,649
According to Philippe, This area has
been causing problems for sailors since
39
00:03:30,650 --> 00:03:32,390
very first ships passed nearby.
40
00:03:33,710 --> 00:03:37,849
Bermuda was put on chart not as a
country that anyone wanted to move to or
41
00:03:37,850 --> 00:03:42,189
migrate to, but literally as a place of
warning to mariners. This is a place you
42
00:03:42,190 --> 00:03:44,569
want to be very careful about, a place
you want to stay away from.
43
00:03:44,570 --> 00:03:49,629
And it's that particular navigational
hazard which I think tees up the whole
44
00:03:49,630 --> 00:03:52,040
mystery and the mythos of the Bermuda
Triangle.
45
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:55,890
It's also the reason people live on
Bermuda in the first place.
46
00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:01,019
Bermuda is a nation founded on
shipwrecks. The first settlers here
47
00:04:01,020 --> 00:04:02,180
shipwreck in 1609.
48
00:04:02,540 --> 00:04:06,280
Our national flag has a shipwreck
smashed up against the rocks on the
49
00:04:06,460 --> 00:04:10,010
which denotes the real deep importance
and connection we have to this.
50
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,699
If anyone understands the destructive
power of the Bermuda Triangle, it's
51
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:23,400
Philippe, who has been studying these
wrecks for over 15 years.
52
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:31,999
Today, he's tracking a relatively new
theory, a unique underwater phenomenon
53
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,400
that may have been sinking ships here
for centuries.
54
00:04:35,401 --> 00:04:40,019
This is actually a really exciting thing
to run into today. We've actually come
55
00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:46,839
across a large swath of sargassum, which
is a holoplogic algae that grows
56
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:47,940
in the open ocean.
57
00:04:47,941 --> 00:04:51,999
In the historical narratives, there's
actually stories of ships finding
58
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,780
themselves stuck in these large mats and
becalmed for days and weeks at a time.
59
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:03,659
Sailors began sharing stories of an
impenetrable region of the Atlantic
60
00:05:03,660 --> 00:05:04,960
many ships were lost.
61
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:08,000
They called it the Sargasso Sea.
62
00:05:10,540 --> 00:05:15,360
Here, thick Sargassum mats can stretch
for miles beneath the water.
63
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,440
making this one of the most dangerous
parts of the Bermuda Triangle.
64
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,419
There are written accounts of ships
getting stuck inside huge beds way, way
65
00:05:26,420 --> 00:05:27,319
bigger than this.
66
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,210
Just imagine this thing covers a square
kilometer or two.
67
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:34,740
Much thicker and denser, and how hard
that would be to navigate your way out
68
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,040
And getting stuck isn't the only problem
caused by the Sargassum.
69
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:47,720
Once a ship gets trapped inside,
something even more dangerous can occur.
70
00:05:47,721 --> 00:05:51,639
As it groups together, it starts to rot,
and the smell that comes off it is
71
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,780
actually really toxic.
72
00:05:53,260 --> 00:05:55,880
There's a whole storyline that feeds
into this.
73
00:05:57,340 --> 00:06:02,559
In the last five years, they've had a
massive influx of a similar kind of
74
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,880
in the southern Caribbean.
75
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,580
Unbelievable growth spurts of sargassum.
It's appearing in such absolute...
76
00:06:08,581 --> 00:06:13,009
Massive quantity, but it's occluding
entire bays, poisoning beaches because
77
00:06:13,010 --> 00:06:16,020
gas that comes off it when it rots is
actually quite noxious.
78
00:06:17,010 --> 00:06:21,089
Suddenly you can imagine ships would
literally come to a stop in the algae in
79
00:06:21,090 --> 00:06:24,969
mat that's so thick and heavy that it'd
be stuck there for days, left without
80
00:06:24,970 --> 00:06:27,289
movement and unable to push their way
through.
81
00:06:27,290 --> 00:06:30,780
If those odors would get onto a ship, it
could actually drive guys mad.
82
00:06:33,210 --> 00:06:37,169
Is it possible that this strange growth
of plant life has been poisoning
83
00:06:37,170 --> 00:06:40,560
mariners? and sinking vessels for
hundreds of years.
84
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:49,159
There is strong evidence nearby where
Philippe has cataloged not one, but
85
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,600
sunken vessels clustered together.
86
00:06:51,601 --> 00:06:55,359
Where else in the world would you see
shipwrecks from all these different eras
87
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,220
finding themselves in the same spot?
88
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:02,060
Really, there is no logical reason for
them to all be there.
89
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,730
Each of the three wrecks is quite
different from the others.
90
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,300
And yet, they all met the same fate
right here, decades apart.
91
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,100
This is the Montana Civil War blockade
runner, stuck in 1863.
92
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,160
As you come around the back of the stern
boiler...
93
00:07:36,161 --> 00:07:40,079
You then turn down, and you're literally
then confronted by one of the paddle
94
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,640
wheels that's lying on its side.
95
00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:47,079
The Montana's side -wheel steam
propulsion was the height of Civil War
96
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,130
technology.
97
00:07:48,131 --> 00:07:51,819
But it would have been particularly
susceptible to getting tangled in the
98
00:07:51,820 --> 00:07:53,380
Bermuda Triangle's sargassum.
99
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,880
And as you can see, the Montana isn't
alone.
100
00:07:58,881 --> 00:08:02,579
The really interesting part is that as
you're going across the center of that
101
00:08:02,580 --> 00:08:06,639
ship, you're actually starting to see
all the cargo that came from the ship
102
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,620
sank in 1943, the Constellation.
103
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,619
Sunk directly on top of the Montana, the
Constellation was a luxurious cargo
104
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:19,880
ship stocked to the gills with high -end
goods bound for Venezuela.
105
00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:26,720
And it had everything on it. Cement,
billiard tables, glass plate for
106
00:08:27,780 --> 00:08:31,000
But of course, that cargo never reached
its destination.
107
00:08:33,130 --> 00:08:37,788
Neither did that of the Lardington, the
area's third shipwreck, which sank en
108
00:08:37,789 --> 00:08:39,850
route to Russia in 1879.
109
00:08:43,909 --> 00:08:47,410
Every shipwreck is a mystery until you
know its story.
110
00:08:47,710 --> 00:08:51,549
And with so many shipwrecks around
Bermuda, there's a bunch that we
111
00:08:51,550 --> 00:08:52,600
can't explain.
112
00:08:57,510 --> 00:09:01,070
Is this hidden growth of algae the
explanation?
113
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,320
Could the centuries -old mystery of the
Bermuda Triangle really be that simple?
114
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,360
As we're about to find out, the truth
may actually be far more complicated.
115
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:20,559
Because whatever's happening here in the
Bermuda Triangle, it's not just on the
116
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:21,610
water.
117
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,940
What is it about the Bermuda Triangle?
118
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:33,820
that has caused the loss of hundreds of
ships.
119
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,959
Shipwreck custodian Philippe Rouget has
theorized that massive underwater beds
120
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,420
of sargassum may be behind some of the
destruction.
121
00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:51,399
But the truth is, this question could
have multiple answers, because plant
122
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,280
alone can't explain the sheer volume of
sunken vessels here.
123
00:09:55,281 --> 00:09:59,499
When we say there are 300 shipwrecks
around Bermuda, those are the ones that
124
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:01,000
there's evidence of some kind.
125
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,400
But, you know, there's a whole pile of
shipwrecks that clearly sank in the
126
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,930
And those are another mystery unto
themselves.
127
00:10:09,380 --> 00:10:13,959
We have shipwrecks from every
nationality that traversed the Atlantic
128
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,100
three, four centuries.
129
00:10:15,580 --> 00:10:17,750
And so we're surrounded by a lot of
riddles.
130
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,780
In fact, two of the Triangle's greatest
riddles...
131
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:26,970
took place over 600 miles away from the
Sargasso Sea.
132
00:10:31,930 --> 00:10:38,549
In 1918, the USS Cyclops, a World War I
ship, vanished in the
133
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:44,310
Triangle without a trace, taking 306
crew members and passengers along with
134
00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:49,130
No remains have been found to this day.
135
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,640
It was the largest non -combat related
loss of life in U .S. naval history.
136
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,439
And it led some to suggest that there
could be supernatural forces at work in
137
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,520
the Bermuda Triangle.
138
00:11:03,860 --> 00:11:07,620
Especially when combined with this story
from 30 years before.
139
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:15,499
In 1881, a ship called the Ellen Austin
was on a voyage through the same area of
140
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:18,640
the triangle when it crossed paths with
another vessel.
141
00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:27,119
Strangely, this other ship was
completely empty, with not a single soul
142
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,170
board.
143
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,579
Some of the Ellen Austin's crew
transferred to the abandoned ghost ship
144
00:11:33,580 --> 00:11:34,630
it to safety.
145
00:11:35,140 --> 00:11:37,920
The two ships were separated by a large
storm.
146
00:11:39,020 --> 00:11:43,880
When the Ellen Austin finally caught up,
the ghost ship was once again empty.
147
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,660
All the crew members had vanished.
148
00:11:50,830 --> 00:11:53,120
And we say, you know, is it the
supernatural?
149
00:11:53,121 --> 00:11:56,149
You know, are there supernatural
phenomenon occurring in Bermuda? And I
150
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:58,850
say, yeah, Bermuda is a supernatural
place.
151
00:12:00,630 --> 00:12:03,470
Others believe the answer is more
scientific.
152
00:12:05,330 --> 00:12:09,249
One of the theories is this notion of
rogue waves. These waves that sort of
153
00:12:09,250 --> 00:12:13,629
into a rhythm of the sort and can create
a wave that literally throws itself
154
00:12:13,630 --> 00:12:18,949
much higher than normal, appearing out
of nowhere and creating very difficult
155
00:12:18,950 --> 00:12:20,000
situations.
156
00:12:23,210 --> 00:12:27,009
You also have theory of the methyl
hydrates, so the bubbles coming up and
157
00:12:27,010 --> 00:12:30,200
creating essentially a hole in the ocean
ships would fall into.
158
00:12:32,010 --> 00:12:36,109
Certainly you would expect an area that
has all these different forces coming
159
00:12:36,110 --> 00:12:38,160
together to have a higher degree of
risk.
160
00:12:38,350 --> 00:12:42,929
And navigating those risks is a greater
challenge here than it might be
161
00:12:42,930 --> 00:12:43,980
elsewhere.
162
00:12:44,770 --> 00:12:48,890
Each of these science -based theories
seems plausible enough on its own.
163
00:12:50,390 --> 00:12:56,069
But algae mats, rogue waves, and even
ghost ships still can't solve the entire
164
00:12:56,070 --> 00:12:57,120
mystery.
165
00:12:57,690 --> 00:13:03,189
Because whatever might be happening in
the Bermuda Triangle goes way beyond the
166
00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:04,240
water.
167
00:13:04,241 --> 00:13:07,249
Now we're going to go to a place that
isn't actually a shipwreck. It's
168
00:13:07,250 --> 00:13:08,450
the wreck of an airplane.
169
00:13:08,451 --> 00:13:13,909
You know, the Bermuda Triangle isn't
just about shipwrecks. It's also about,
170
00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:17,029
know, anomalies that influence not just
ships, but aircraft and things like
171
00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:18,080
that.
172
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:27,219
The wreck of the KB Hayes bomber. It has
this incredible juxtaposition of, you
173
00:13:27,220 --> 00:13:31,299
know, the height of sort of human
technology and nature. You know, the
174
00:13:31,300 --> 00:13:35,979
kind of taking over these aluminum and
stainless steel engine parts, parts of
175
00:13:35,980 --> 00:13:40,100
the plane, and has a really interesting
kind of contrast going on.
176
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:47,379
The story of this bomber, which went
down in 1961, only adds to the mystery
177
00:13:47,380 --> 00:13:48,460
the Bermuda Triangle.
178
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,340
Clearly, underwater plant life wasn't
responsible, and neither was the
179
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,470
This plane, in fact, went down on a very
clear day.
180
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,590
They experienced engine trouble, but we
don't have the answers to it all.
181
00:14:09,740 --> 00:14:10,920
It was a lot of plane.
182
00:14:10,921 --> 00:14:14,859
The most striking thing are the struts,
like the landing gear and things like
183
00:14:14,860 --> 00:14:15,910
that.
184
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,710
You know, it's a stark reminder that it
didn't land.
185
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:24,679
It kind of is a very kind of emotionally
jarring wreck because it's something we
186
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,119
can all relate to. These are airplanes.
187
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,259
These are things that are really not
supposed to be underwater.
188
00:14:29,260 --> 00:14:32,679
And seeing elements of a plane
underwater has a completely different
189
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,419
about it.
190
00:14:33,420 --> 00:14:37,860
But the question remains, what could be
behind this tragic accident?
191
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:45,679
Whatever the cause may be, for Khalif
and many other citizens of Bermuda, they
192
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,420
are confident that something
unexplainable...
193
00:14:48,620 --> 00:14:49,670
is happening here.
194
00:14:49,671 --> 00:14:54,479
People have a lot of different theories
about the Bermuda Triangle.
195
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,340
People love this mystique.
196
00:14:56,580 --> 00:14:59,160
There is an attraction to the
unexplainable.
197
00:14:59,161 --> 00:15:03,479
You know, there's no question that
there's something really special about
198
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,530
Bermuda Triangle.
199
00:15:04,580 --> 00:15:08,299
And, you know, I'm sure as we move
forward, we're going to find lots of
200
00:15:08,300 --> 00:15:10,099
explanations for things that have
happened.
201
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:14,460
But having a good mystery out there is
actually pretty cool.
202
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,759
Thanks to researchers like Philippe,
we're finding more and more of the
203
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:28,039
Triangle's ship and airplane wrecks,
which will hopefully provide new leads
204
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,720
the cause of the area's dangers.
205
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:36,659
But there are many vessels that are
still unaccounted for, including what
206
00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:39,820
be the Triangle's most mysterious loss
of all.
207
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,340
Six airplanes all vanished on the same
day in an incident.
208
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:47,480
known as Flight 19.
209
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:55,720
On December 5th, 1945, just a few months
after the end of World War II,
210
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:02,300
14 airmen boarded five planes in Florida
and flew off over the Atlantic.
211
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,899
But soon after entering the Bermuda
Triangle, the airmen became mysteriously
212
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:10,950
disoriented.
213
00:16:14,410 --> 00:16:18,529
Despite their high -level skills and
some of the day's most technologically
214
00:16:18,530 --> 00:16:24,710
advanced aircraft, all five planes and
all 14 people were lost,
215
00:16:24,950 --> 00:16:27,690
gone without a trace.
216
00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:31,250
But the tragedy doesn't end there.
217
00:16:31,630 --> 00:16:37,129
In a bizarre twist, a seaplane was sent
out with 13 additional crew members on a
218
00:16:37,130 --> 00:16:38,180
rescue mission.
219
00:16:38,870 --> 00:16:41,670
Shockingly, that plane disappeared as
well.
220
00:16:42,330 --> 00:16:44,910
only 27 minutes into its voyage.
221
00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:52,330
What could have happened to these
airplanes or the 1961 KB Hayes bomber?
222
00:16:52,710 --> 00:16:57,290
And is there any chance it relates to
the area's shipwrecks?
223
00:17:01,030 --> 00:17:06,689
Could the Bermuda Triangle's combination
of hidden algae and rogue waves be the
224
00:17:06,690 --> 00:17:08,490
cause of the area's many shipwreck?
225
00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:11,119
Perhaps.
226
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,200
But that doesn't explain why airplanes
continue to go missing as well.
227
00:17:17,579 --> 00:17:22,019
What is it that's going on in the skies
above this supposedly deadly stretch of
228
00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:23,070
ocean?
229
00:17:23,780 --> 00:17:30,119
Today, pilot and Bermuda Triangle
enthusiast Jordy Klein hopes to fly in
230
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:34,819
find out. I feel that the legends of the
Bermuda Triangle have quite a bit of
231
00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:35,870
merit to them.
232
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,380
And the reason I say that is because...
233
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:41,510
I've experienced it myself.
234
00:17:46,010 --> 00:17:50,690
Jordy grew up in Florida, close to the
western border of the Bermuda Triangle,
235
00:17:50,810 --> 00:17:54,690
and he's been interested in the
anomalies here for his entire life.
236
00:17:56,330 --> 00:18:01,629
My dad is also a pilot. I used to fly
with him before I could even see over
237
00:18:01,630 --> 00:18:02,680
dashboard.
238
00:18:03,250 --> 00:18:07,849
My dad was intrigued by the weird things
that would happen in the Bermuda
239
00:18:07,850 --> 00:18:12,839
Triangle. And I can remember us flying
to the Bahama Islands and, you know, all
240
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,040
over the Atlantic Ocean.
241
00:18:14,140 --> 00:18:18,300
And that's what sparked my interest in
the Bermuda Triangle.
242
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:23,800
I guess you can say I'm a second
-generation Bermuda Triangle survivor.
243
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,440
Following in his father's footsteps,
244
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:32,819
Jordy began flying through the Triangle
on his own as soon as he got his pilot's
245
00:18:32,820 --> 00:18:34,380
license at age 17.
246
00:18:35,950 --> 00:18:40,829
I've flown in the Bermuda Triangle
hundreds of times, and I've had
247
00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:41,930
strange experiences.
248
00:18:42,370 --> 00:18:46,810
I've flown on crystal clear days where
bad weather came out of nowhere.
249
00:18:47,810 --> 00:18:53,530
I've had my compass go haywire. I've had
my altimeter become erratic.
250
00:18:54,450 --> 00:18:57,050
And I've even experienced magnetic fog.
251
00:18:58,610 --> 00:19:03,150
Many pilots have described magnetic fog
in the Bermuda Triangle.
252
00:19:03,820 --> 00:19:08,380
comparing it to a cloud that wraps
itself around an airplane and follows
253
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,360
obscuring all visibility.
254
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:18,039
So the big difference between flying
through a magnetic fog bank and a
255
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:23,579
fog bank is with a magnetic fog bank is
that when you fly into it, you cannot
256
00:19:23,580 --> 00:19:26,400
rely on your vision nor your
instruments.
257
00:19:27,340 --> 00:19:32,059
So given those two scenarios, there's
countless numbers of bad things that
258
00:19:32,060 --> 00:19:33,110
happen.
259
00:19:33,390 --> 00:19:37,849
It's very disorienting. Aside from the
aircraft instrument, I've turned my head
260
00:19:37,850 --> 00:19:43,849
quickly and I get vertigo. Almost like
my internal compass is also affected by
261
00:19:43,850 --> 00:19:44,900
the magnetic fog.
262
00:19:46,030 --> 00:19:50,290
Could magnetic fog be at the root of the
Triangle's many plane crashes,
263
00:19:50,590 --> 00:19:53,590
including the disappearance of Flight
19?
264
00:19:54,570 --> 00:19:57,130
Jordy believes it's a definite
possibility.
265
00:19:57,870 --> 00:20:01,610
It's one thing to be lost in a car where
you can pull over.
266
00:20:02,220 --> 00:20:03,580
and look for directions.
267
00:20:04,420 --> 00:20:09,279
But if your only navigational source is
the compass and it starts acting
268
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,360
erratically, you could be in trouble.
269
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,319
To further test his theory, today Jordy
is taking a flight into the Bermuda
270
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,740
Triangle with our camera crew, using
only his compass for navigation.
271
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,779
off the coast of Florida, where I've had
most of my experiences with the Bermuda
272
00:20:31,780 --> 00:20:32,830
Triangle.
273
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:40,759
It's a dangerous proposition, but
Jordy's plane does have a backup system
274
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,810
case things go wrong.
275
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:49,419
Today, we're going to go out in this
1949 aircraft, and it has pretty much
276
00:20:49,420 --> 00:20:52,400
same instruments as it did 70 years ago.
277
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,970
We're going to try to rely totally on
those instruments today.
278
00:21:09,139 --> 00:21:14,320
This area is just a hotbed of aviation
and marine wreckage.
279
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,839
the magnetic compass as if he ripped it
off of the dash and he was holding it as
280
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,020
if he was like just praying for it to
work.
281
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:51,980
Jordy's plane is currently two miles
from where that fatal incident took
282
00:21:52,940 --> 00:21:58,519
If he can recreate a magnetic anomaly in
the air today, he's confident this is
283
00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,570
where it will happen.
284
00:22:00,940 --> 00:22:05,079
Right now we're flying right over the
island of Bimini. If you look on the
285
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:10,060
western shore here, You'll see the
strange abnormalities in the water.
286
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,620
There's this really weird reef. It
doesn't look like any other reef on
287
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,800
It, to me, looks man -made.
288
00:22:18,540 --> 00:22:22,440
And it's even more strange underwater
than it is flying over it.
289
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:29,460
Jordy and many other local pilots
believe that the reef, known as Bimini
290
00:22:29,780 --> 00:22:33,000
contains a pyramid -shaped underwater
formation.
291
00:22:33,820 --> 00:22:38,420
that could somehow be impacting the
navigation of planes and boats in the
292
00:22:39,940 --> 00:22:42,500
The question is, how?
293
00:22:42,820 --> 00:22:45,960
A lot of the strange occurrences happen
around this reef.
294
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:52,119
So whatever's going on down there, to
me, that's just one of the biggest
295
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:56,060
of evidence that supports the mystery of
the Bermuda Triangle.
296
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,570
Look at that.
297
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:01,900
Look at the compass.
298
00:23:06,730 --> 00:23:08,050
The fog came out of nowhere.
299
00:23:10,450 --> 00:23:11,500
Whoa.
300
00:23:11,870 --> 00:23:13,650
My compass is going crazy.
301
00:23:19,490 --> 00:23:22,790
Can't see anything outside.
302
00:23:22,791 --> 00:23:23,729
Hold on.
303
00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:25,610
The fog came out of nowhere.
304
00:23:26,690 --> 00:23:29,100
This is what I'm talking about here.
Look at this.
305
00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:32,510
My compass is going crazy, and now we're
in turbulence.
306
00:23:33,610 --> 00:23:34,830
Very disorienting.
307
00:23:37,340 --> 00:23:43,179
Whoa! If I was a pilot relying only on
this magnetic compass, I'd be freaking
308
00:23:43,180 --> 00:23:46,790
out right now, because I would have no
idea what direction we're flying.
309
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,960
I can rely on my GPS to fly us out of
it.
310
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,480
If I wasn't an experienced pilot, I
might not be so calm right now.
311
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:16,160
With that compass spinning, I would have
been very concerned without the GPS.
312
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,939
Jordy believes this magnetic
interference could easily be responsible
313
00:24:22,940 --> 00:24:25,720
Bermuda Triangle's abnormally high death
toll.
314
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:33,639
In the old days, when all you had to
guide you was compass and sight, you
315
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,360
imagine. One mistake could have been
catastrophic.
316
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:40,160
But that's what it was like 50 years
ago.
317
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,900
Many people never make it out.
318
00:24:44,540 --> 00:24:48,979
With every successful flight he makes
through the triangle, Jordy considers
319
00:24:48,980 --> 00:24:50,030
himself lucky.
320
00:24:52,020 --> 00:24:57,439
I fly all over the world, but the
Bermuda Triangle is the only place I
321
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,060
all of these weird things happen.
322
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,320
And yet, Jordy continues to fly here.
323
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:09,139
committed to understanding more about
what's going on and warning others about
324
00:25:09,140 --> 00:25:10,360
the potential dangers.
325
00:25:11,540 --> 00:25:16,319
With today's technology, things are much
safer in the Bermuda Triangle. But
326
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:17,940
weird things still happen there.
327
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,980
And if you're not prepared for it, you
can still get yourself into trouble.
328
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,199
Jordy's experiment suggests that there
may indeed be a magnetic anomaly at work
329
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,400
in the Bermuda Triangle.
330
00:25:31,710 --> 00:25:37,489
We've also heard theories ranging from
deadly gas leaks to unusual plant life
331
00:25:37,490 --> 00:25:40,030
rogue waves that can appear out of
nowhere.
332
00:25:41,150 --> 00:25:45,070
Is there a chance that all of these
could somehow be connected?
333
00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:50,369
Perhaps we should look into the accounts
of one of the very first explorers to
334
00:25:50,370 --> 00:25:52,430
ever sail into the Bermuda Triangle.
335
00:25:54,570 --> 00:25:59,690
When Columbus entered this part of the
Atlantic during his famous 1492 voyage,
336
00:26:00,030 --> 00:26:04,710
he reported erratic compass readings,
the likes of which he'd never seen
337
00:26:05,890 --> 00:26:10,630
It's even more evidence that the
triangle's powers could be magnetic in
338
00:26:11,790 --> 00:26:14,910
But Columbus spotted something else as
well.
339
00:26:15,370 --> 00:26:21,010
He described strange lights and flames
crashing across the surface of the
340
00:26:22,570 --> 00:26:25,150
What should we make of Columbus's
account?
341
00:26:25,830 --> 00:26:31,309
Is there some type of phenomenon that
combines fire and magnetism, and could
342
00:26:31,310 --> 00:26:35,390
be behind all the unusual activity here
in the Bermuda Triangle?
343
00:26:36,370 --> 00:26:41,169
As we're about to find out, the answer
to that question may be hiding right
344
00:26:41,170 --> 00:26:42,220
under our noses.
345
00:26:46,150 --> 00:26:51,069
The Bermuda Triangle has been feared as
one of the ocean's deadliest areas for
346
00:26:51,070 --> 00:26:52,120
generations.
347
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:58,359
The question is, what could be going on
in this storied region of the Atlantic
348
00:26:58,360 --> 00:26:59,410
Ocean?
349
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:07,439
So far, we've witnessed unusual plant
growth, weather anomalies, flames across
350
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,380
the water, and issues of magnetism.
351
00:27:10,620 --> 00:27:11,670
Look at the compass.
352
00:27:12,380 --> 00:27:17,500
Whoa! But we have yet to identify the
source of these dangerous phenomena.
353
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,820
Fortunately, we may be on the verge of a
breakthrough.
354
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:27,759
Because deep -sea mineral prospector
Nick Hutchings has spent years
355
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:33,799
Bermuda's geology, and he thinks he
might have found the cause of all of the
356
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,360
triangle's destructive power.
357
00:27:39,260 --> 00:27:46,079
I was born in Bermuda, so I grew up
curious what inspired a story like
358
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,400
the Bermuda Triangle.
359
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,399
So... We're on our way to Whalebone Bay
where we can see some of the earliest
360
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,810
evidence of Bermuda's geological
formations.
361
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,999
Like many islands, Bermuda was created
by a volcano that dates back millions of
362
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,050
years.
363
00:28:04,140 --> 00:28:09,600
But according to Nick, Bermuda's volcano
was unlike any other on Earth.
364
00:28:11,060 --> 00:28:15,960
The interesting thing about Bermuda is
that it has a very unusual lava.
365
00:28:16,260 --> 00:28:18,440
The most recent research...
366
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,480
says that it's actually unique.
367
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,440
It hasn't been discovered anywhere else
in the world.
368
00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:30,539
Nick has spent years studying the
composition of this lava, trying to
369
00:28:30,540 --> 00:28:32,480
the source of its unusual properties.
370
00:28:34,820 --> 00:28:39,839
When I started to look more closely, I
started to learn that it's been
371
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,320
enriched in minerals.
372
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:47,219
including titanium dioxide and iron
oxide, which have combined to make a
373
00:28:47,220 --> 00:28:48,740
called magnetite.
374
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:56,780
Magnetite is the most magnetic,
naturally occurring mineral on Earth.
375
00:28:59,420 --> 00:29:05,379
Where Bermuda's volcanic rock is 18 to
20 % magnetite, Most soils only contain
376
00:29:05,380 --> 00:29:09,939
between 1 and 5 percent, so that's a big
difference. You have more concentrated
377
00:29:09,940 --> 00:29:13,040
magnetite, you have more magnetism.
378
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,419
Volcanoes typically spew lava from the
very top of the Earth's mantle, an
379
00:29:21,420 --> 00:29:23,520
average of 20 miles below the surface.
380
00:29:25,340 --> 00:29:30,719
The new study claims that when Bermuda
was formed, a unique disturbance caused
381
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,220
magma to bubble up from much farther
down.
382
00:29:34,570 --> 00:29:36,750
400 miles down, in fact.
383
00:29:38,530 --> 00:29:43,969
And according to Nick, the result is
that Bermuda contains more magnetite
384
00:29:43,970 --> 00:29:45,830
any known island on the planet.
385
00:29:46,510 --> 00:29:51,890
An estimated volume of over 400 billion
tons.
386
00:29:55,390 --> 00:30:00,289
Now, over time, that eroded away to the
slopes of the volcano or the sides of
387
00:30:00,290 --> 00:30:02,410
the volcano and washed into the sea.
388
00:30:03,020 --> 00:30:08,979
And all of the magnetite that was in
that volcanic rock is now deposited up
389
00:30:08,980 --> 00:30:11,800
120 miles in all directions around
Bermuda.
390
00:30:13,580 --> 00:30:19,440
So even though Bermuda is just a tiny
dot on the map, it's a very small
391
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,900
it is essentially one giant magnet.
392
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,440
Volcanic activity and highly magnetic
rock.
393
00:30:29,230 --> 00:30:33,329
It sounds a lot like what Christopher
Columbus reported on his first trip
394
00:30:33,330 --> 00:30:34,410
through the triangle.
395
00:30:35,230 --> 00:30:39,969
And studies have shown that a large
magnetic field can enhance the growth
396
00:30:39,970 --> 00:30:42,930
patterns of certain plants, like
sargassum.
397
00:30:44,410 --> 00:30:48,989
Could the magnetite be the source of all
the mysterious weather and navigational
398
00:30:48,990 --> 00:30:53,230
anomalies experienced by travelers for
centuries in the Bermuda Triangle?
399
00:30:55,090 --> 00:30:57,830
According to Nick, the answer is yes.
400
00:30:58,570 --> 00:31:03,529
What we have here is a really good
example of the magnetite that's exposed
401
00:31:03,530 --> 00:31:04,580
the limestone.
402
00:31:05,610 --> 00:31:09,529
You can see it right through here and
down there. And if you look carefully,
403
00:31:09,530 --> 00:31:12,300
can see a really good example of it
layered in the rocks.
404
00:31:12,970 --> 00:31:18,890
If we move this compass over even the
small amount of rock, it'll affect it.
405
00:31:21,250 --> 00:31:25,169
And you can see, as soon as this compass
comes over the rock, it'll change
406
00:31:25,170 --> 00:31:26,910
magnetic north by several degrees.
407
00:31:26,931 --> 00:31:34,059
What we're seeing here is just the tip
of the iceberg because Bermuda is
408
00:31:34,060 --> 00:31:35,780
surrounded by this kind of rock.
409
00:31:36,860 --> 00:31:42,159
Nick's calculations suggest the
magnetite surrounding Bermuda is at
410
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,210
feet thick.
411
00:31:43,780 --> 00:31:48,919
So I think this massive deposit of
magnetite, it can cause strange
412
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,279
boats and planes that are coming through
the area.
413
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,780
If you pass a compass over even a small
piece of magnetite, it can cause a blip.
414
00:31:56,220 --> 00:32:00,720
You can only imagine what 400 billion
tons would do to a passing plane or
415
00:32:00,980 --> 00:32:07,539
One can easily imagine an ancient
mariner when all of a sudden his one
416
00:32:07,540 --> 00:32:14,080
important tool that's helping him get
back home would start to do weird stuff.
417
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:19,379
We even find this warning about magnetic
anomalies in the Bermuda area on maps
418
00:32:19,380 --> 00:32:20,800
and admiralty charts.
419
00:32:21,060 --> 00:32:24,780
And of course, Bermuda's at the apex of
the Bermuda Triangle.
420
00:32:27,630 --> 00:32:32,549
If Nick's theory is correct, all of the
anomalies within the Bermuda Triangle
421
00:32:32,550 --> 00:32:37,210
and all of its heightened danger could
come down to a question of magnetism.
422
00:32:37,870 --> 00:32:42,949
If that magnetic relationship is indeed
the culprit, it sets up one more
423
00:32:42,950 --> 00:32:44,000
compelling mystery.
424
00:32:44,510 --> 00:32:50,929
In 1980, a 400 -foot auxiliary ship sank
off the coast of Daytona Beach
425
00:32:50,930 --> 00:32:55,930
here, in a location 250 miles north of
Miami.
426
00:32:56,970 --> 00:33:02,470
In 1991, a commuter flight crashed on
the east coast of Georgia, here.
427
00:33:03,870 --> 00:33:10,229
And in 2018, a Piper PA -31 aircraft
took off from South Carolina, headed for
428
00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:11,280
the Bahamas.
429
00:33:11,630 --> 00:33:17,029
100 miles off the coast, in this
location, the pilot made an emergency
430
00:33:17,030 --> 00:33:18,080
to divert the plane.
431
00:33:18,890 --> 00:33:22,490
Afterwards, it was never seen or heard
from again.
432
00:33:24,170 --> 00:33:29,149
These wrecks, and others like them, did
not take place within the Bermuda
433
00:33:29,150 --> 00:33:35,729
Triangle. Instead, as you can see, they
form a path that leads over 1 ,000 miles
434
00:33:35,730 --> 00:33:36,780
to the northwest.
435
00:33:37,690 --> 00:33:43,709
But a new theory is emerging, which
could not only explain this path, but
436
00:33:43,710 --> 00:33:45,690
have major implications for the future.
437
00:33:46,330 --> 00:33:52,530
The question is, what if the Bermuda
Triangle as we know it is on the moon?
438
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,860
The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle may
finally be close to being solved.
439
00:34:03,620 --> 00:34:08,698
Experts have theorized that the area's
high concentration of magnetite could be
440
00:34:08,699 --> 00:34:13,059
causing interference with the Earth's
magnetic field, leading to weather
441
00:34:13,060 --> 00:34:17,320
anomalies, dangerous algae growth, and
problems with navigation.
442
00:34:19,540 --> 00:34:24,320
If that's the case, then the issue lies
much deeper than the ocean floor.
443
00:34:25,929 --> 00:34:28,730
It lies at the very core of our planet.
444
00:34:29,530 --> 00:34:34,749
And according to geophysics professor
Dr. Justin Revenoff, a potentially
445
00:34:34,750 --> 00:34:38,469
catastrophic magnetic shift is happening
there right now.
446
00:34:43,489 --> 00:34:47,610
My interest in the Earth's magnetic
field began when I was in college.
447
00:34:48,090 --> 00:34:53,408
Because of a big solar storm, the
northern lights moved further down from
448
00:34:53,409 --> 00:34:54,459
poles than usual.
449
00:34:54,989 --> 00:34:59,989
And I thought it was amazing, and as a
result, I've kept tabs on the magnetic
450
00:34:59,990 --> 00:35:04,010
field through the rest of my life. What
it's doing right now is unusual.
451
00:35:04,890 --> 00:35:10,809
What it's doing is moving, and it might
be taking the Bermuda Triangle right
452
00:35:10,810 --> 00:35:11,860
along with it.
453
00:35:16,350 --> 00:35:19,450
So here we're looking down on the north
pole of the planet.
454
00:35:19,690 --> 00:35:21,690
Geographic north lies right there.
455
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,420
Shown in the colored dots are the
position of magnetic north over time.
456
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:33,359
We start down here in 1900, moving
steadily northward slowly until
457
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,999
about 1990, at which point it started
moving much more quickly. At the present
458
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,080
day, it's moving at a rate of 35 miles
per year to the north and west.
459
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:47,039
If that motion continues, it'll cross
the Arctic Ocean and work its way into
460
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,090
Russia.
461
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:56,679
The question is, If the Bermuda Triangle
features a deadly magnetic anomaly, how
462
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,460
might it be impacted by the planet's
magnetic shift?
463
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,279
We've already seen evidence of
increasingly frequent plane and boat
464
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,000
disappearances to the northwest of the
current triangle.
465
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:16,339
Underwater, Bermuda's magnetite deposits
are also drifting in the same
466
00:36:16,340 --> 00:36:19,600
direction. Could this simply be a
coincidence?
467
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:26,100
One thing's for sure, the magnetic shift
is having a significant impact.
468
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:32,420
The average person has no idea that
magnetic north is moving. Why should
469
00:36:32,580 --> 00:36:37,419
You can't see it, you don't feel it.
That affects the navigation of ships and
470
00:36:37,420 --> 00:36:38,470
airplanes.
471
00:36:38,471 --> 00:36:42,579
It's a problem that sounds a lot like
what could be happening in the Bermuda
472
00:36:42,580 --> 00:36:47,900
Triangle. Except now, it's beginning to
occur on a global scale.
473
00:36:50,730 --> 00:36:56,229
These changes are requiring us to update
maps and software to accommodate the
474
00:36:56,230 --> 00:37:01,569
shifts in the poles that are necessary
to make sure that GPS and compass -based
475
00:37:01,570 --> 00:37:04,150
navigation continues to be accurate.
476
00:37:05,150 --> 00:37:10,089
But according to Dr. Revenaugh, there
could be even greater consequences for
477
00:37:10,090 --> 00:37:11,140
life on Earth.
478
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:17,079
The Earth's magnetic field acts like a
force field. If you think about the Star
479
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:22,199
Trek USS Enterprise, when they would be
shot by lasers and photon weapons would
480
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,300
be deflected away from the spacecraft.
481
00:37:24,860 --> 00:37:29,719
Star Trek didn't pull this out of thin
air. Our planet's magnetic field is
482
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:34,280
protecting us from base weather, solar
radiation, solar winds.
483
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,600
If they reached the Earth in full
numbers, it could shut down electrical
484
00:37:39,660 --> 00:37:45,260
gas and oil pipelines, cellular and
satellite communication, television,
485
00:37:45,700 --> 00:37:50,279
aircraft flights, and potentially other
things that we haven't even thought
486
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,739
about. It won't happen overnight, but we
are seeing signs that it could happen
487
00:37:54,740 --> 00:37:55,790
rather soon.
488
00:37:59,860 --> 00:38:03,740
Dr. Revenaugh has a simple way to
illustrate this effect.
489
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,339
So to understand what might happen at
first magnetic field where we can, we're
490
00:38:09,340 --> 00:38:10,619
going to look at a microwave.
491
00:38:10,620 --> 00:38:14,659
Microwave creates radiation of its own
kind that we can use to heat water, cook
492
00:38:14,660 --> 00:38:19,419
food. We're protected from that by the
casing and the grill on the front of the
493
00:38:19,420 --> 00:38:23,740
microwave. So imagine what would happen
if we put a cell phone inside.
494
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,999
Out here, it's protected from the
radiation inside the microwave. But if I
495
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,140
it in, that protection is not going to
be there anymore.
496
00:38:33,550 --> 00:38:35,530
It's going to feel its effects entirely.
497
00:38:36,590 --> 00:38:37,640
Hit start.
498
00:38:42,010 --> 00:38:43,060
Look at that.
499
00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:50,709
It only took about five seconds, and
look at that. The radiation inside there
500
00:38:50,710 --> 00:38:53,410
completely fried the electronics. It's
shot.
501
00:38:53,970 --> 00:38:58,489
Still cool to the touch, though. It
wasn't that it heated up. It was that
502
00:38:58,490 --> 00:39:00,900
electronics were shorted out by the
radiation.
503
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,499
What if this happened worldwide and our
communications, compass and GPS
504
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:12,400
navigation, radar and safety tracking
all cease to function?
505
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,300
We basically would be thrown back 300
years.
506
00:39:16,301 --> 00:39:20,079
It wouldn't quite be the Stone Age, but
it wouldn't be the modern world we've
507
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,160
become accustomed to.
508
00:39:22,020 --> 00:39:26,200
But Justin believes that there are steps
we can take to prevent this scenario.
509
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,819
To fix this would require building
physical protections for many parts of
510
00:39:31,820 --> 00:39:35,580
infrastructure. It's not a coding issue.
It's not a software fix.
511
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,440
It's an infrastructure issue.
512
00:39:37,660 --> 00:39:42,099
Cell phone towers, electrical grids,
pipelines, all need to be rebuilt or
513
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:44,660
modified to be protected from solar
radiation.
514
00:39:45,700 --> 00:39:50,499
Unless we can build these protections in
time, it won't matter if the Bermuda
515
00:39:50,500 --> 00:39:52,100
Triangle is moving or not.
516
00:39:53,070 --> 00:39:57,070
because its alleged effects could soon
impact the entire world.
517
00:40:02,450 --> 00:40:07,589
Scholars like Dr. Revena are currently
trying to identify all of the issues
518
00:40:07,590 --> 00:40:09,170
a magnetic shift could cause.
519
00:40:09,950 --> 00:40:14,409
After that, they'll still need to
convince governments, private companies,
520
00:40:14,410 --> 00:40:18,870
engineers to shore up our infrastructure
before it's too late.
521
00:40:19,810 --> 00:40:24,400
As for the Bermuda Triangle, if it is
moving northwest as we proposed.
522
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:30,759
Thankfully, it remains an isolated area,
just 500 ,000 square miles on the
523
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,060
surface of a nearly 200 million square
mile planet.
524
00:40:34,740 --> 00:40:40,239
But if we don't plan for the future, the
entire world may one day become a
525
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:45,759
Bermuda Triangle, a place where safe
navigation of the seas and skies can no
526
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:46,810
longer be possible.
527
00:40:48,270 --> 00:40:52,829
In other words, we must continue moving
forward in the same spirit as the
528
00:40:52,830 --> 00:40:54,990
Bermuda Triangle's first explorers.
529
00:40:56,350 --> 00:41:00,990
Sometimes, the only way out of a
predicament is to head straight through.
530
00:41:02,110 --> 00:41:04,190
The search continues.
