Le Triangle des Bermudes intrigue les gens depuis des années avec des histoires de navires et d'avions qui disparaissent, mais les scientifiques pensent avoir résolu l'énigme ! Il s'avère que le coupable pourrait ne pas être des forces mystérieuses, mais des phénomènes météorologiques exceptionnels comme d'énormes vagues scélérates et des tempêtes soudaines. Ces vagues peuvent atteindre jusqu'à 30 mètres de haut, assez puissantes pour couler les navires les plus robustes. Ajoutez à cela des changements imprévisibles des courants océaniques et des anomalies magnétiques qui perturbent les systèmes de navigation, et vous obtenez une recette pour le désastre. Bien qu'il soit amusant d'imaginer des extraterrestres ou des monstres marins, la science montre que tout est dû au chaos de la nature. Ainsi, le Triangle des Bermudes pourrait ne pas être magique — mais c'est toujours un endroit sauvage et dangereux ! 🌊✈️ Animation créée par Sympa. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Musique par Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Pour ne rien perdre de Sympa, abonnez-vous!: https://goo.gl/6E4Xna ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nos réseaux sociaux : Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sympasympacom/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sympa.officiel/ Stock de fichiers (photos, vidéos et autres): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Si tu en veux encore plus, fais un tour ici: http://sympa-sympa.com

00:00You may have seen this viral video where YouTubers have hidden a treasure in the Bermuda Triangle
00:06and where a stranger had the audacity to go in search of it.
00:09He left with $10,000 in his pocket.
00:11But let's be realistic, his greatest triumph was probably to get out of it unscathed.
00:16This perilous maritime zone, located between Florida, Puerto Rico and the Bermudas,
00:22is sadly famous for its mysterious and unexplained events.
00:26It is said that more than 50 ships and about 20 planes have gone volatilized without a trace.
00:31This gave birth to many theories, according to which this region would be connected to mystical forces
00:37or to vortexes capable of dragging objects to other dimensions.
00:41However, an Australian scientist named Karl Krusselnicki
00:44could well have elucidated the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.
00:48According to him, most of the legends and these disturbing disappearances
00:52can be attributed to two main causes.
00:56The first factor put forward is human error.
00:58One of the theories refuted by Krusselnicki concerns the tragic flight of squadron 19.
01:03In 1945, 5 American Navy aircraft took off for a routine training mission in Florida.
01:10Everything seemed to be going smoothly, until after 90 minutes,
01:14the squadron commander reported that they had been lost.
01:17Then, suddenly, poof, they just disappeared.
01:22Despite one of the largest air and maritime research operations in history,
01:26no trace of squadron 19 or its 14 crew members has been found to date.
01:34What continues to amaze about this incident
01:37is that the weather conditions at the start were particularly favorable.
01:42A relatively hot day, light and cotton clouds scattering the sky,
01:47and a breeze coming from the southwest.
01:49Nothing out of the ordinary for a training mission.
01:52So, what really happened?
01:55It turns out that, although the squadron commander had accumulated more than 2,000 hours of flight,
02:00he was a rather poor pilot.
02:02To tell the truth, a really mediocre pilot.
02:05According to Krusselnicki, the commander was so bad at navigation
02:09that he had already got lost at sea at least twice before the episode of squadron 19.
02:14On this fateful day, he even tried to find someone to replace him.
02:18Without success, which unfortunately proved tragic for his entire squadron.
02:23After having conducted their flight exercise well,
02:26the two on-board compasses suddenly stopped working.
02:29On the radio frequency of the patrol, his anxious voice claimed that they were flying over land.
02:34More precisely, he was convinced that he was above the Florida Keys.
02:38Yet, this defied all logic.
02:40Less than an hour before, he had flown over, as planned, the bottom of Henson Chicken in the Bahamas.
02:46But he was now convinced that his plane had inexplicably drifted
02:50over several hundred kilometers to reach the Florida Keys.
02:54A monumental mistake.
02:57According to the most credible hypotheses,
02:59what he thought were the Florida Keys were actually just a group of small islands in the Bahamas.
03:05This is where things took a dramatic turn.
03:08Instead of correcting his trajectory and returning west towards Florida,
03:12he continued to fly east, venturing further into the Atlantic Ocean.
03:17Out of fuel, his plane crashed, and you already know the rest.
03:21Some supporters of alternative theories claim that an evil force had disturbed the two compasses,
03:27causing their malfunction above this allegedly cursed region.
03:32However, it must be admitted.
03:35Even if such a hypothesis turned out to be accurate,
03:37human error remains the determining factor in this tragedy.
03:43The pilot should never have confused the islands of the Bahamas with the Florida Keys.
03:48End of story.
03:49Now let's move on to the second factor, which, according to Kruzelnicki,
03:52explains a large part of the mysterious disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle.
03:56The unfavorable weather conditions.
03:59Many tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic directly cross the Bermuda Triangle.
04:05Before the era of advanced weather forecasts,
04:08these natural phenomena were responsible for the loss of many ships.
04:12In addition, the Gulf Stream, a powerful ocean current, also crosses the region.
04:18This current can cause sudden and sometimes spectacular weather changes.
04:23When thinking about it, these natural factors suffice to explain a large part,
04:28if not the majority, of the disappearances reported.
04:32Let's take the example of the USS Cyclops.
04:34In 1918, this cargo weighing 150 meters and carrying about 11,000 tons of manganese
04:41disappeared without a trace.
04:43It made a crossing between the Antilles and Baltimore with 309 people on board.
04:49What makes this disappearance even more disturbing
04:52is that no sign of distress has been issued.
04:54More than 100 years after the events, the mystery remains intact.
04:58No wreck has ever been found.
05:00Of course, this disappearance has led to all kinds of theories.
05:04One of the most common hypotheses
05:06is that it was caught in a sudden and violent storm.
05:09With its heavy load of manganese, the ship could have capsized and sank in record time.
05:14Others speculate on underwater phenomena, such as landslides or an accelerated wave.
05:23When you think about it, this hypothesis is not so far-fetched.
05:26According to Kruselnicki, the Bermuda Triangle is not only an area subject to storms.
05:31It also illustrates the raw power of the ocean.
05:34The seabed reaches impressive depths of nearly 9,000 meters,
05:38the inverse equivalent of Mount Everest.
05:40Such a depth makes the ocean particularly suitable for hiding objects,
05:45turning this region into an ideal place for mysterious ship and plane disappearances.
05:51Our expert indicates that there is a very low probability
05:54that even more unusual phenomena occur under the waves of the Bermuda Triangle,
05:59in connection with methane hydrate.
06:01This term refers to a compound similar to ice,
06:04which forms under water or in very cold environments,
06:07with methane trapped inside.
06:09Sometimes, these structures can disintegrate, releasing bubbles to the surface.
06:14And this rise in bubbles can be fatal, at least for ships.
06:19Experiments conducted on reduced-model ships
06:22have shown that when a large volume of bubbles rises to the surface,
06:26the density of the water decreases, which compromises the ability of a ship to float.
06:30If these bubbles quickly cover a large area,
06:33the ship can lose its floatability, making it capsize or sink.
06:37That said, the probability that such a scenario occurs remains extremely low.
06:42In the end, human error and unfavorable weather conditions
06:46are probably the two main factors behind the mysteries attributed to this allegedly evil sea.
06:52But in reality, the Bermuda Triangle is nothing extraordinary.
06:56Although this region is a considerable renown,
06:59there is no official map clearly delimiting its borders
07:03and affirming, here, precisely, where the Bermuda Triangle is located.
07:09This is also one of the reasons for the problem.
07:12Disappearances or unexplained events occurring well beyond this area
07:16are often wrongly associated with the Triangle, as was the case for the Mary Celeste.
07:21In 1872, this ship was found perfectly intact,
07:26but without a trace of its captain, its family, or its crew.
07:31Faced with this mystery, many have evoked the idea of a ghost ship
07:35linked to the Bermuda Triangle.
07:37However, one detail does not agree.
07:39The Mary Celeste had been abandoned about 650 km east of the Azores,
07:44in a completely different area from the Atlantic.
07:48At this stage, the famous triangle turned into a trapezium
07:52to include a huge portion of the North Atlantic.
07:55What we mean is that once people begin to believe in the existence of a dangerous area,
08:01the confirmation bias settles.
08:04However, the reality is that the Bermuda Triangle
08:07is daily crossed by considerable maritime and air traffic.
08:11And according to experts, the percentage of incidents that occur there
08:15would be globally similar to those observed elsewhere in the world.
08:19In some years, this figure may be slightly higher,
08:22sometimes lower, but on average it remains constant.
08:25With this perspective, it seems that it is time to leave behind us
08:29these extravagant theories about the Bermuda Triangle.
08:32At least, until the next strange disappearance occurs.
