Hurricanes may have helped build the myth. But writer John Quiza believes they can’t explain all of the disappearances2. Anything can disappear in foul3 weather, but for it qualify as a Triangle disappearance1, it has to have the unexplainable quality to it, in my research, I don’t consider things that are in foul weather, because it’s not really a mystery, it’s merely a disappearance.
The Bermuda Triangle mystery continues to confounded. One explanation lies in an oceanic phenomenon that was once disregarded as a myth. For centuries,
mariners4 were marked for their storeys of huge waves up to ten storeys high, hitting their ships unexpectedly. But today, scientists regard the myth's fact--“
rogue5 waves”.
A rogue wave is typically a single wave that occurs out of nowhere, as an example, you could have even high waves, ten feet, fifteen feet, if now you have a wave coming through, that is two-three times the size, that’s called a rogue wave, because it’s totally unexpected.
Scientists still debate why they happen. It’s thought that the
crest6 type of a series of small waves combines to create a monster.
Could a rogue wave have caused the disappearance of one of the Triangle’s most famous victims? October 26th, 1980, the SS Poet is due to report her position as being northeast of Bermuda. But the report is never given. And the ship and her crew of 34 are never found. Grabber uses his wave machine to investigate the effects of a rogue wave on a
cargo7 ship, like the SS Poet.
The ship is floating and it’s weighted in such a way that would represent a typical full load of a cargo ship. The rogue wave slowly builds. The model falls into a deep trough, and is then violently struck by the wave, within seconds, she is taking on water and sinks rapidly.
