The mystery behind the Bermuda Triangle, a place where hundreds of planes and ships would have disappeared under inexplicable circumstances, may have finally been solved – at least that’s what a Science Channel show claims.

Meteorologists theorized that these clouds could act as true “air bombs “.
They are believed to be the leading cause of deadly air blasts, which can easily exceed 170 miles per hour.
These hurricane-force winds literally “blow up” the air and can generate waves of more than 45 feet in height.

No ship can survive such a storm, and no aircraft can withstand such a wind.
Clouds do not normally form straight edges. However, judging by satellite images, the Bermuda Triangle is an exception to this rule.
The announcement of this theory sparked much future research. Scientists around the world are trying to find out what are the reasons for such anomalies.

Remember that the Bermuda Triangle is a large area of the Atlantic Ocean between Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda.
This region is known for its mysterious phenomena. Reports date back to 1945 when five American torpedo bombers and a plane sent to find them disappeared without a trace.
Since that day, another 75 aircraft and several hundred ships have been lost. The last tragedy occurred in 2015 when the cargo ship “El Faro ” disappeared in this region.
