British scientists believe that toxic waves more than 30 meters high are the culprits that sink many ships in the Bermuda triangle.
A team of experts at the University of Southampton, UK, speculated that a natural phenomenon called toxic waves could explain the mysterious disappearances of ships in the Bermuda triangle, Sun reported yesterday. In the Bermuda Triangle Enigma documentary program on Channel 5, they used indoor simulators to recreate many violent surges.

The toxic wave, which lasted only a few minutes, was first observed by satellites in 1997 off the coast of South Africa. Some of the toxic waves were more than 30 meters high. The team built a model of the USS Cyclops, a large ship that went missing in the Bermuda Triangle in 1918, killing 300 people. Due to its massive size and flat bottom, the model is quickly submerged by water in the simulation.

Dr Simon Boxall, marine and Earth scientist, said the famous waters in the Atlantic Ocean could be hit by three massive storms coming at once from different directions, the perfect conditions for toxic waves to form. . Boxall is convinced that rising water could break a ship the size of a Cyclops in half.
“There are multiple storms coming in from the north and south at the same time. If more storms come from Florida, deadly toxic waves can form. They are very high and steep. We calculate waves higher than 30 The bigger the ship the more damage it gets.You can imagine if a toxic wave had two crests with nothing to support underneath the ship, the ship would break in two.If this happened, the ship can sink in 2-3 minutes,” Boxall said.

The Bermuda Triangle is a sea in the northwest Atlantic Ocean, spanning 700,000km between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto-Rico. The area is located on many waterways and has claimed the lives of more than 1,000 people in the past 100 years.
