This was actually solved a long time ago by a geology professor in London. There are undersea methane deposits on, or just below the sea bed that are held in ice form because of the cold temperature and - even more importantly - the great pressure of the weight holding it down. Minor earthquakes cause continental shelf edge turbidity currents to strip away the overlying weight holding it in ice form and the methane will bubble out as a gas. This causes the supercritical sea effect that has been video'd in the area - and which will sink a boat like a stone - as well as cover it up again as the sand settles on top of it. It also creates magnetic anomalies and pockets of methane gas in the air - ever wonder what happens to an airplane that flies through a cloud of highly inflammable gas? You guessed it.

Thank you very much for the content as it is nothing short of entertaining my good sir.
Would you /u/keebyjeeby be so kind as to provide a genuine link to the information that you appear to be committed to.

Sadly, I was at university in 1997, so I wouldn't have a clue as to where to find it, but he was highly respected in his field (top 5 global university) and further evidence seemed to support his explanation.

Thanks for your reply /u/keebyjeeby mate.
The reason I was seeking a link regarding your comment is because I have always been under the impression that Ice floats on water and methane is lighter than air. So to me their is a little bit of a conflict going on here.
With that said. I'll admit with confidence that, I am far from understanding all of our planets mysteries.
All the best,

I'm not 100% sure if any of the accounts of aircraft going missing in the area are fictitious or not. If at least some of the accounts of aircraft going missing in the area are true, it would require a little more explanation than just freak waves. which is why statistics can come in handy.
Also, he('Dr Karl' mentioned in the article) noted that the Bermuda Triangle, which is one of the most heavily trafficked parts of any ocean, doesn't actually see a statistically unlikely rate of disappearances. “According to Lloyds of London and the US coast guard, the number of planes that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on a percentage basis,” Dr Karl told News.com.

They're not fictitious, but high according to statistics. And sudden tropical storms and compasses being diverted during blind flight likely explains that. Also it's higher frequented than let's say some areas in the pacific near the antarctic. It's all about numbers, but waves don't down aircraft.
