UM-Bot Posted August 5, 2003 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Some scientists wonder if giant gas bubbles could be sucking ships beneath the Bermuda Triangle. A Hollywood special effects master, armed with a physicist, air compressors, hoses, and a heavy boat, came to the Gulf Coast to prove it could be true. Wednesday, workers re-enacted a science experiment that led to the gas bubble hypothesis. They forced compressed air through an underwater grid, forcing bubbles to the surface and, after five tries, sucking a Sea Ray cruiser under the water.

Sukato-San Posted August 5, 2003 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2003 New Zealand squid expert Steve O'Shea says he will mount a new expedition in July next year to film "sex-crazed" giant squid in the wild. That's what's causing the gas bubbles in the Bermuda Triangle! Sex-crazed giant squid! 'cause they were feeling very relaxed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuffypuffer Posted August 5, 2003 #3 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I saw this experiment on the discovery channel. I think it could work, but what is causing the gas bubbles? Aside from giant squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anirbas Posted August 6, 2003 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2003 LOL how interesting but that doesn't explain how the instruments and radios go haywire - or are the squids fornicating with those too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystify Posted August 6, 2003 #6 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Well... the earth has tonnes of hot gases inside of it. Releasing it into the Bermuda Triangle area just means there are faults and cracks beneth the area releasing pressure from inside our planet. This is very very plausible theory. I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nethius Posted August 6, 2003 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2003 i heard this theory a few years back... i thought it explained the triangle quite well... if i recall they did explain why the instruments went all crazy, but cant remember why... but i believe this theory more then any other!

PurpleStuart Posted August 6, 2003 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2003 It also doesn't explain the missing planes. but what is causing the gas bubbles? Aside from giant squid Flatulent Whales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukato-San Posted August 6, 2003 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Flatulent Whales? It must be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aslan Posted August 6, 2003 #10 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I thought research had adequately demonstrated that the Bermuda Triangle lost no more ships than any other similarly sized area in a fairly busy traffic zone. I also thought that every one of the 'freak' disturbances were actually a lot less freaky than some sources made out - it was, in a nutshell, pure invention that ships and planes mysteriously vanished in the Triangle with any more frequency than they mysteriously vanished elsewhere. I didn't realise there even was a Bermuda Triangle anymore. So in light of undeniable statistics, why would these people think that gas bubbles are sucking ships under in the Bermuda Triangle, specifically. Why not in the Indian Ocean, or the English Channel, or the Black sea ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althalus Posted August 6, 2003 #11 Share Posted August 6, 2003 So in light undeniable statistics, why would these people think that gas bubbles are sucking ships under in the Bermuda Triangle, specifically. Why not in the Indian Ocean, or the English Channel, or the Black sea ? My answer to this would be: Maybe ships and the like are being sucked under elsewhere also, but the reason why most of te ones happen at the bermuda triangle is that it is a heavily used area, where as other areas where this happens are not so heavlily used. And for the more heavily used areas, I would surmise that the phenomenon that is causing the hydro-methane gas bubbles, is only concentrated at this one region. Yes it is also at other regions, but they ar enot so heavily trafficked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Posted August 7, 2003 #13 Share Posted August 7, 2003 One thing I've learned in reading allllllllll these THREADS... "One should not read the last post...... first"...... Fornicating squids and goofy whales...... who'd a thunk? This place is amazing......!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
