The mystery of ships and planes lost in the Bermuda Triangle was successfully 'solved' by British scientists.
British scientists believe that 100 feet 'evil' waves are one reason why many ships mysteriously sank in the Bermuda Triangle, a triangular region in the western North Atlantic Ocean that stretches 700,000 kilometers between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico.
Known as the Devil Triangle, the region has many shipping lines and has claimed more than 1,000 lives in the past 100 years.
However, scientists at the University of Southampton in England believe that the mystery can be explained by natural phenomena known as "evil waves".
Reporting from documentary shows on Channel 5 with the title "The Bermuda Triangle Enigma", the scientists used simulators in the room to recreate the water waves of monsters that only held for a few minutes.
The wave was first observed by satellites in 1997 off the coast of South Africa, some waves have a height of 300 meters (almost 100 feet).
The research team built the USS Cyclops model, a naval cargo ship reportedly lost in 1918 carrying 300 people.
Because the size is thin and evenly flat, it doesn't take long before this model is overcome by using water during the simulation.
Dr. Simon Boxall, a marine and earth scientist said, three great storms coming together from various directions could be perfect conditions for evil waves.
Boxall believes that such surges in water can swallow ships, such as Cyclops.
"There are storms in the south and north that come together," Boxall said, adding that if there were additional storms from Florida, it could potentially be a deadly wave formation.
"They are steep and high, we have measured the wave more than 30 meters."
According to Boxall, the bigger the ship, the more damage will occur.
"If you can imagine a wave of evil with a peak at both ends, nothing happens under the ship, it is locked in two," he said.
"If that happens, the ship can sink in two to three minutes."
