- You've probably heard of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle before? But do you know what makes it so mysterious?
"The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is an urban legend focused on a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The idea of the area as uniquely prone to disappearances arose in the mid-20th century, but most reputable sources dismiss the idea that there is any mystery."

Another mystery suspiciously linked to the US military: Back in the 80s, Soviet navy believed, probably not without basis, that the "Bermuda Triangle" is the deployment location of the US ballistic submarine fleet.
Probably because it's the most transient point in the 7 seas
Can you do a video about voodoo death (to literary be scared to death)
When are you posting again?
Hey Man! How's the form?
I went to buy a T-shirt on the merch site. They show prices without sales tax included. They fail to mention it anywhere, even at checkout, and then charge your card anyway. They charged my card €8 more than it said at checkout. Needless to say, I cancelled the order.
I love ur channel, dude, and wanted to support you but us Paddies don't like being overcharged. Just thought I'd let you know what they are up to
The Bermuda Triangle has been lacking in mysterious incidents recently
i agree
Ever since the invention of GPS and satellite weather forecasting
You wanna summon Candyman too while you're at it.
When there are cameras and credible witnesses, there is no supernatural.
Obvious conclusion is that ghosts are allergic to electronics.

The Bermuda triangle: Where ships and airplanes go to disappear.
The Balkan triangle: Where hopes, dreams and money disappear.
The Bermuda triangle is one of the heaviest traveled areas in the entire world. Of course it has more accidents, just like a busy LA freeway has more accidents than a country road.
Statistically, the Bermuda triangle is one of the safest places to fly, as per capita, it has less accidents than all of Europe.
The Dutch Sandwhich: Where companies and corporations go to disappear their need to pay tax.
The Matryoshka Brain: Where civilizations go to wait out the heatdeath of the universe.
The Brazen Head: Where Qxir goes to disappear his worries with beer. (probably) (not fact checked)

A priest gets on a boat called witchcraft and gets lost in the Bermuda triangle isn't a phrase I expected to hear today, but here we are...
Forgot to bring his crew~sa~fix with him
That's probably true for most of the phrases you hear every day, unless you spend an unusual amount of time trying to predict what people will say. (Was that a phrase you expected to hear today, for example?)
me neither but yeah
I was expecting this today.. I wasn't sure where it was going to come from though
This is actual irony, Alanis. Take notes.😂
Former Navy sailor here. I've sailed through the Bermuda Triangle many times, as have my Dad and Grandpa, both of whom were sailors. The Bermuda Triangle is just as boring and beautiful as any other part of the seas and just as dangerous. It's not spooky or weird at all.
Oh, and the missing flight and subsequent loss of the Catalina sea plane? A combination of green officers messing up on navigation, faulty communications gear, and known issues with by then aging WWII aircraft. The only "mystery" is the final resting places of all involved. Based on the transmissions by the officers and triangulation that they flew off into the Atlantic and eventually ran out of fuel, ditching somewhere in those unforgiving waters. The odds of ever finding them are remote at best. As Naval aviators, it's only fitting that their final resting place is the sea.
To add to that the Catalina flying boat that disappeared was notorious for having it’s engines occasionally explode so the idea that it was lost is no surprise
What do you mean, "ageing aircraft"? This was in 1945, and the TBM Avengers they were flying were less than three years old.
@@were-owlinwisconsin4441 I was specifically referring to the PBY Catelina and the aforementioned known engine issue
How strange when you think that the sea was their way,
And a meaningless death is the price they pay
For their living was made from the deep
To their people in comfort and keep
Keep all their people and places there
Never to be seen again, never to be loved and their last embrace
And the kiss has a salt bitter taste
Love this insight, thanks for sharing. Helps to enrich Qixr's presentation.
Alongside Quicksand, I really did think the Bermuda Triangle factored in as a regular and frequent danger. As a child, seeing as it came up so often in TV and books.
I mean, quicksand is dangerous, but you will likely never see it depending on where you live. A toddler in my town suffocated in it last year.
Lol same here. 80s kid.
When I was a kid I was scared of it like it could go to my house and beat me up lol
There's a Bermuda Triangle x-files episode with time travel and nazis
@@halofornoobs93toddlers will suffocate with a blanket tho so ehhhh
The Bermuda Triangle is one of the most over-hyped conspiracies of all time. Flight 19 was weird, I'll give it that, but over 50% of the disappearances associated with it took place outside of the triangle. So they might as well call it Bermuda sea, or ya know, the Atlantic Ocean.
Good one 👍
Yeah, disappearances in the Bermuda triangle weren't that far off from the norm for an area with those sorts of conditions and traffic.
I guess the hype has something to do with USA being nearby. Most of alien observations, flat earth discussions and vaccine conspiracies are happening there...
Flight 19 is not weird it was first ruled pilot error by the navy but it was change later because the squadron leader mother didn't want her son to be remembered as the guy who killed his own squadron
@@jim4194 the rescue plane also disappeared so it is a bit strange. Or did the mother of that pilot not love her so as much as the other, Mr Pedantic? I'm dying to know!
The methane theory just sends my Thalassophobia to 100. The thought of the ocean just going "nah dog, you ain't floating, you falling" just fucks with me too hard.
Like when sand gives away under your house and you are never seen again. WTF?
@@fedupamerican296yes, just like that!
Like when your house (or, at least, the part of the house you happen to be in at the time) is swallowed up by a sinkhole, and you’re never seen again.
For example, like poor Jeff Bush from Seffner, Florida.
Except that falling down a “hole” in the ocean, into its depths, would be a whole other level of surreal terror.
@@riiidiculoso8697 don't even want to imagine.
I learned in the 1970’s that there wasn’t any more accidents or mysteries there than any other large body of water.
Surprisingly, I learned this from a Ripley’s Believe It Or Not book.
That’s not surprising - Ripley’s was great!
I remember as a little kid in the 80s going to the town library and checking out all the children's books on weird phenomena like this. I'd stare wide-eyed at the pages in fascination. Unsolved Mysteries would be on TV and I'd watch it when my parents weren't in the room, quickly changing the channel if I heard footsteps. I'd hide under the covers in my bed afraid of UFOs coming around. Wowwwwww! Now I look back at that program and laugh at how much of a crock it was. 😂
Reasons I watch Qxir videos:
50% good content
50% Irish accent
His accent *is* good content.
@l3176l so is it 100% Irish accent or 100% good content?
I love how this kind of implies that the contents of the video are 50% content 50% Irish accent 😂
If he says methane like that how does he say meth
Tree means 3 😂
Flight 19 is the most interesting Bermuda Triangle story I have heard.
That’s what popped into my head when he bet we couldn’t name one. Ya beat me to it
Remember when Malaysian flight 370 disappeared, then the media pretended we found the wreckage and everyone stopped looking? There are almost always reasons we can't locate a lost vessel and it ain't a mysterious triangle...
I hope you mean that the details Skeptoid covered are interesting, not the ones Charles Berlitz covered... because the truth about Flight 19 IS a very interesting story, but very different from what a lot of people think. (Seriously. LEMMiNO's Bermuda Triangle video is excellent, but he left out a lot of details on Flight 19 that Skeptoid dug up.)
Not really. Some reservist got lost.
@@ssokolow I have no idea who any of those people are.
Using the entire video as a blooper was a big-brain move that probably went over most people's heads xD.
🤭 For a moment I thought the Bermuda Triangle moved to Ireland.
Those negative images remind me of trying to see through the squiggles of scrambled pay channels as a teenager.
the 1970s was a big era for bermuda triangle hysteria. There was even a board-game with a 'storm cloud' that moved around and grabbed unwary ships.
That beginning. I don't mind the visuals, but that sound sure hurts when wearing headphones. Thanks for the video. Always a pleasure to watch.
Nobody: Me as a kid thinking the Bermuda triangle would be a daily issue:
Even I was like that
And quicksand!
How are we supposed to travel there?😮😂
"A strange triangle where anyone who enters never returns? This could have startling effects on the economy."
Don't forget the ever present bigfoot danger
padding out with a blooper reel at the end s always good business.
The Bermuda triangle is one of the heaviest traveled areas in the entire world. Of course it has more accidents, just like a busy LA freeway has more accidents than a country road.
Statistically, the Bermuda triangle is one of the safest places to fly, as per capita, it has less accidents than all of Europe.
That's only partially true. 15% of the triangle makes up 90% of all the routes through it. When compared to specific shipping lanes and flight areas, it isn't even remotely close to being one of the safest. It isn't one of the most dangerous, but to say it is one of the safest is an outright lie.
The LA freeway is actually one of the safest roads in the U.S. per capita as there are country roads with accident rates that are magnitudes higher than city freeways. Shoot, the desert highway from San Bernardino to Bakersfield sees nearly 15x as many accidents per capita than the freeway between Anaheim and Carson.
@@halofornoobs93watch the video into 9:26 and see that he agrees with me.
How can you give statistics about the locations when nobody agrees where exactly the triangle is?
I get you want to belive fun stuff, but don't expect people like me to rp along with your fantasy game misinformation. I care more about reality, than a fun fable.
Nah bra....Aliens, crazy hair guy says so
"Bet you can't name a ship or plane that disappered in the area"
Flight 19 in which a squadron of 5 US planes disappeared as well as the rescue plane sent to find them in 1945. This is the story that got me interested in the Bermuda Triangle
Uncle Fester spent some time in there, I would think he was on a boat or in a plane
Also the El Faro, but that was more to do with the non-euclidian stupidity of the captain sailing into the eye of Hurricane Joaquin than any spooky woo-woo with the triangle itself.
The earliest I've ever been to Qxir vid.

Bro I was here before he was conceived.
Really love this new series! While it will never replace tales of the bottle in my heart it is coming close!
Is tales from the bottle officially over? Did he give up drinking? What proud Irishman ever should? TFtB was the flagship show.
Ngl this intro went hard
i know right, genuinely really cool intro.
short, flashy (but not annoying), and super fitting music
It actually scared me for a second.
It sounded like someone was having a bad time on the toilet ngl
I’m glad nobody’s gonna lie
I like the wonky sound design
Whay is it in black and white and low-res? Did the video editor fall into the Bermuda Triangle too?
Looks like he forgot about the t-shirt blending with the green screen and black and white was the easiest fix
He made a post poking fun at himself for accidentally wearing a green shirt in front of his green screen. This was the fix that made the most sense.
I mean there's a bit more to it. Probably nothing wild, but navigational instruments do often encounter issues in the region and ships have randomly experienced losses in buoyancy. There are actually a few bodies of water around the world, including off the coast of Northern Australia, where these anomalies occur and while some explanations work in some of them, they don't apply to others. Safety and navigational technology have improved greatly in the last 100 years so these issues rarely impede modern vessels, but the fact they they do exist is interesting to say the least. Rogue waves also appear to be far more common in the Bermuda Triangle than in other areas.
There's nothing superstitious about the area, but there are oddities that only seem to be present in certain parts of the world.
The intro was really cool, but I'm not sober. I claim without substances I would hate it.
They don't, look at any busy shipping lane and they have the equivalent missing ships
Didn't watch to the end, huh
ive been waiting for this one!! :D
Thank you Quix for blessing our curiosity
Oh hell yeah, nothing like a qxir video to make a Friday even better!
He's back!
When you said towards the beginning of the video that most people know of the triangle but not of any incidents, I couldn't help but think the Bermuda triangle is so powerful not even the knowledge of incidents can even escape it.
You’re doing it man. This channel is going to blow up.
that loud intro scared the FUCK outta me. great vid tho 😁👍
I love this show
Even his body is disappearing, this is some real spooky supernatural stuff
Nice intro my G. Great work, great sound
I remember as a kid, i was convinced that Killer bees, Bigfoot, yeti, quicksand and the Bermuda triangle were all going to be a huge issue in my life
The Ranch, or Area 51 as it's most commonly known, also tested captured Soviet aircraft either we captured or loaned to us by the Israelis. These came in handy as we evaluated the aircraft and their tactics the counter them. This also led to the creation of U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School, or TOP GUN. It saw a dramatic increase in fighter performance. Before Top Gun the average kill-death ratio in the Navy was 2:1, or two MiGs shot down for every Navy aircraft. After TOP GUN, that ratio increased dramatically to 12:1.
we even had our own squadron with captured MiGs!
@@nursestoyland Yep! The 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron.
@@charlessaint7926that ratio is because we destroyed tons of north Vietnams radar coverage and expanded our own satellite radar coverage over vietnsm meaning Vietnamese migs couldn’t just wait and ambush us jets that they knew were coming. It’s not because we suddenly got better at fighting migs , it’s that they weren’t waiting for us jets ready to ambush them because they didn’t know when or where they were coming anymore
Absolutely love the black and white aesthetic you have for this series
finally a qxir video so happy
Being this early feels surreal. I might leave some quirky comment for people to like me... ehm... erm...
Okay I'll come back later!!
already got that community note
Highly trafficed area has lots of incidents. Imagine my shock
If you aren't checking details, a lot of bermuda triangle disappearances didn't even really disappear. They go missing long enough to be reported in the news, then get found, whether alive or not. But the initial headline gets them added to the lore, and people keep repeating that they were "lost without a trace" when they were later either rescued or found with little mystery as to the cause of their fate.
The Bermuda triangle's bark has always been way worse than its bite. You'd think with a reputation as sinister as its, it would be unusually dangerous; but it's really not.
Just sailed through there and finally got internet back from shore to see this video. Loved it, great upload
Excellent new intro G!
Man your channel grew up so much, i was here since you had 20 to 30k subscribers.
Amazing growth ,all the best for you, you deserve
Welcome back Qxir
Bro what is that jank intro song. Sounds like cicadas 😂
Dude, at the beginning of this one, but wanted to say, your video about the cave-paintings not having detailed human faces, ...wow, gotta be one'uh the coolest questions ive ever heard discussed. Can't say how much i enjoyed it, so gd great, so specific, & just right. Thanks.
Sweet, new series!
Friend told me a story where he took a flight through the “Triangle” for a business tip. He stood in line, boarded the plane, and flew for two hours. In a blink, he was back in line getting nudged by another passenger behind him. Did the flight all over again and made it the second time.
Don’t know if I believe it or not, but thought it was kinda interesting.
I don't believe it, but it's not like you can prove him wrong!
It's the kind of thing I'd tell people too! 😁
@@EddieTheH Exactly, I just enjoy the idea of it lol 🤷♂️
@@chrisbole8339 It made me smile! Cheers!

Even with that annoying noise at the beginning, you still have the best channel on TH-cam ❤❤❤
those bloopers were good lmao also explains the black and white
Your presenting skills are top notch, very good production quality all round, especially the artwork. ❤
It was the effect of the Dorito's Heatwave!
I saw that too. While I am eating some Doritos. Kinda spooky.
I think the whole Bermuda Triangle thing comes from the spread of mass media with people not really understanding that disappearing at sea without a trace is really not that uncommon. Seriously, naval search and rescue is an incredibly difficult task.
Been there...done that... if you "sea" something you should NEVER look away, cuz nothing to reference to when looking back...&...they're gone forever
For a while now though planes have been made with lots of parts that float to help with locating stuff so if a plane has disappeared in the last twenty years you expect to see a lot floating Debris
Love the bloopers at the end!
Cool intro man !
i used to think the Bermuda triangle was gonna be a way bigger threat
Cyclops disappeared in March of 1918. Nereus and Proteus were lost in November and December of 1941, respectively, both having been sold to Canada earlier that year. All 3 were lost in an area of high merchant traffic at times when their owners were at war with Germany, and therefore likely targets for u-boat attacks. In that light, their disappearance doesn't seem so mysterious to me: U-boats probably got them, and then someone else got the U-boats before they could report their kills.
Interesting side note, a fourth sister of the class, USS Jupiter, was renamed USS Langley and converted into the US Navy's 1st aircraft carrier in 1920. She was sunk by Japanese aircraft in WW2, having been converted again into a seaplane tender in the intervening years.
You’re saying German UBoats were stationed off the coast of the United States?
@@juliandavidhoffer2022 They absolutely were, in fact, one famously sank the oiler Gulf-American less than 1 mile off the coast of Jacksonville Florida, then taunted shocked onlookers and shelled it from the surface in full view of civilians. in the first three months, U-boats sank 100 or so ships, and they would absolutely be hunting in those waters for any enemy-flagged vessels prior to declaration of war with the USA, and a pair of supply ships under a Commonwealth flag are exactly the target they would make sure to kill.
they were. hemingway even wrote a novel about an american patrol boat captain sailing the area looking for subs
@juliandavidhoffer2022 there were tons of them. The US got into WW1 because of German U Boat attacks. During WW2 the German navy sunk sank hundreds of ships in US costal waters.
these videos are just so interesting
TY for the vid🎉
"Bet you can't name a ship or plane that disappeared in the area"
Me, an intellectual: "USS Cyclops, Flight 19."
Seems to be the only one everyone is saying... which proves the point that this area is no different from any other area lmao

Love the intro and is that 'love hearts' on your tee shirt ?....cheers.
Flight 19 was covered on an episode of unsolved mysteries. Skeptics like to bring up negligence as being the reason, but there’s two counter points they never have an answer for. Why would ALL planes lose contact with base at seemingly the same time. And why would the rescue plane also go missing? Either they were attacked immediately or something else happened out there. But I find it hard to believe that every single one of those pilots died from negligence.
The new intro is Kool, good sir .
keep doing your thing. thank you.
New qxir intros are going hard
(count Dankula would be proud)
Loving the music for the enigma files, it’s giving heilung
He’s back everyone !
Holyy bazoonga, I was not expecting that intro
I was a teen in the '70s when there was a wave of obsession with the triangle. Everybody remembers the USAF pilot crying in his radioset, "it's like a dagger, aaaargh!".
Can’t believe you cracked a million subs kid ! Come a long way from the Killdozer well done !
iv been around since the first video. used to watch your new video on the next day when my mom got home from the store with food
Only tempest I know is the Pontiac car from the 60s.
Great video thank you!
The Bermuda triangle setting would make for an excellent horror thriller.
I enjoyed your bloopers at the end😂 You are quite funny 😆 I needed that ❤
My boy that intro music is so good, can I get a link to the SoundCloud?
I think it’s really funny how the Bermuda Triangle is statistically just as common for incidents and disappearances as any other section of ocean
Broooo sick intro !
Tastey treat this one. Glad to see ya
don't alot of peeps travel around that area. Bermuda is a popular tourist destination. i feel like its just more likely to have crashes because its a higher trafficked region.
that intro went hard aint gon lie
Genuinely had me about to be admitted into Arkham Asylum with how long I’ve been waiting for a new Qxir video
Just what I was looking for at 2am on a monday
i do appreciate that this video isnt one long flashbang
I always think about that classic episode of Rocko's Modern Life whenever the subject of the Bermuda triangle comes up.
New series!!
So hot you have warnings about the Bermuda triangle
Love the new edits, great to watch while micro dosing😂😂
As a pilot, I like the theory that the area is just prone to microbursts. Makes the most sense imo
Triangles get a bad reputation. When will we get a video on the other deadly fictional geometric regions like squares, pentagons, and the dreaded hexagon?
Don't dare disparage the hexagon 🙃
The Pentagon is probably the most deadly shape
On a related matter, why do my socks disappear in the dryer?
I think it's so infamous because of out of around 300 missing ships and planes, we've only found and solved a couple, where as in other dangerous zones we've found most of them.

In a town I studied in, there was a small piece of land that had an incredibly high number of deaths happen on it. This plot was between two bars in a bad neighborhood. So a lot of the deaths were alcohol related, bar fights between patrons, or just someone passing out during winter and freezing to death.
