Methane Hydrate release theory debunked
An October 2012 episode of Curiosity on the Discovery channel showed scientists attempting to sink a real 25 ft sailboat releasing huge quantities of air bubbles beneath it under water. The team were unable to sink the vessel in real world scale no matter how much h as they released under the water.

Tunguska link?
Tunguska event Tunguska_event#Speculative_conjectures Black hole In 1973, Albert A. Jackson and Michael P. Ryan, physicists at the University of Texas, proposed that the Tunguska event was caused by a small (around 1017 kg to 1019 kg) black hole passing through the Earth.[54][55] This hypothesis is considered flawed, as there was no so-called exit event—a second explosion occurring as the black hole, having tunnelled through the Earth, shot out the other side on its way back into space. Based on the direction of impact, the exit event would have occurred in the North Atlantic, ...
Many people (and websites and such) have suggested the possibility that there is a link between the Tunguska event and the Bermuda triangle. Perhaps this deserves a mention in the article? What if there was no 'exit event' and the Bermuda triangle is the home of the object (possibly a black hole) that caused the Tunguska impact? The theory of two university physicists was discredited as flawed because there was no 'exit event' around the North Atlantic, which happens to be where the Bermuda triangle is. Additionally, there is no mention in ALL HISTORY of the 'bermuda triangle'
until around the 1950s, that just being the earliest recorded/ known disappearances, post the Tunguska event.

add to Influence on culture In a Season 6 episode of the TV show The X-Files, the show takes place in a luxury passenger liner which has mysteriously appeared on the edge of the Bermuda Triangle. Leohui (talk) 16:02, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
- Popular culture references should be accompanied by a secondary source establishing that the pop culture reference is in some manner significant. Please review WP:IPC for more information about this. Thanks. Doniago (talk) 14:11, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
What is "of significance"?
In the "Influence on culture"-section, several information is removed due to "no source for significance". Who decides what's of significance? How is the fact that someone made an album inspired by the Bermuda Triangle or that someone made a single called Bermuda Triangle of any sort of significance whatsoever? If no one argues against this post, I will make edits to the section in question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LonelyGreyWolf (talk • contribs) 15:25, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
- I'd guess "of significance" would mean... subject matter of album/single drew career-improving attention to artist? Led to a trend of songs about the paranormal or weird? Something like that. But with sources. Sophie means wisdom (talk) 11:01, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
- In general, notability is established by the musician, artist, or author involved having a Wikipedia article. Plazak (talk) 12:53, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
- Ideally for lists, inclusion criteria should be agreed on by consensus per WP:LSC. Realistically it tends to boil down to secondary sourcing and sometimes simply the artist being linked. WP:IPC. Doniago (talk) 15:20, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Rogue waves irrelevance
I have again reverted the "Rogue waves" section. User:Rdfox 76 said in his edit summary when restoring the information I deleted that "rogue waves can happen anywhere in the world, as stated in the text".
That is totally irrelevant. The text does not say there were/are rogue waves in the triangle. This article is about the triangle, not about the a nebulous statement that "rogue waves can happen anywhere in the world". Without a clear statement that rogue waves have been reported in the triangle, supported by reliable sourcing, the info does not belong in the article. Moriori (talk) 08:40, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Kusche on Flight 19
In the June 27, 1976 NOVA/Horizon episode "The Case of the Bermuda Triangle" Kusche states that the furthest he can trace the messages generally associated with Flight 19 is Allan W. Eckert's April 1962 American Legion Magazine article "The Mystery of the Lost Patrol"--
