What could result to the disappearance of this big transportation machines?

Is it that scientists design this so as to steal or hide weapons, yachts and planes?
Is Bermuda Triangle caused by nature or human?

This are questions that many of us still ask ourselves but, scientists believe that Bermuda triangle is caused by a build-up methane at the bottom of the sea.

Methane is likely to have leaked from deposits of natural gas deeper below the sea bed, then create cavities which eventually burst, once the pressure gets too high.

This lead to a massive blow up of gas, which could cause a boat or ship to fail if it was passing at the height of the explosion.

Russian scientist Igor Yeltsov, deputy head of the Trofimuk Institute, said: "There is a version that the Bermuda Triangle is a consequence of gas hydrates reactions.
