When I was a kid my parents went on a cruise that was in the Bermuda Triangle. I was freaked out at first that they were gonna disappear until they told me just how many cruise ships go through the area. That killed a lot of the magic and mystery for me.
@@starwarsnerd100 That's the thing isn't it. For a long time it was the most traveled location in the world, So yeah a lot of ships disappeared there, Because a lot of ships went there.
Same. I remember being terrified it was so close to Florida and it might expand towards me and kill me. Now as an adult it blows my mind that we never hear about it in 2023
Friendly reminder that more ships have gone missing in Lake Eerie than in the Bermuda Triangle. I’ve seen people come up of pseudo science theories involving magnetic fields or methane pockets to explain “why so many ships go missing”, but they’re starting with a false premise because statistically it’s about the same as any similarly well travelled area of the ocean. It’s really over hyped and thousands go through the triangle every year.
Yeah, people who honestely believe in the Bermuda Triangle are just outing themselves as people who know jack about geography. The Triangle covers a huge stretch of water around Florida, Cuba, The Bahamas, Puerto Rico and Bermuda. Those are highly touristic areas with a lot of traffic, so if the Triangle had any creedence to it so many cruise ships full of people would be going missing that the Triangle would have been seriously investigated by now. The idea that this area is so dangerous when it's so well traveled by so many ships daily is ridiculous.
If/When DK has to do the fantasy episode on the Skaven, it should absolutely be a Detective Ridiculous episode, since giant rat men absolutely DO NOT EXIST in Warhammer Fantasy land.
Giant men 100% do exist in whf giant rat men however are a preposterous idea and anyone who thinks they’ve seen one has probably just misidentified a beastman
You guys should look up the concept of Rogue Waves. They're like normal waves, only they swallow islands. (this is real) They're not tidal waves, and occur seemingly randomly, but despite them for all intents and purposes being 'normal' waves, they can reach over 120 feet, or 36 meters, and the largest rogue wave ever is theorized to have been a absolutely staggering 220 feet, or 67 meters, at the Eagle Island lighthouse. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bermuda Triangle is a seedbed for rogue waves, and has been swallowing them out of nowhere for literal centuries, given that rogue waves really only have been confirmed to actually exist in 1955, and we still understand VERY little about them. And i mean _swallow._ Nom and gone type stuff. EmpLemon recently did a video on them, and... Yeah, genuinely wouldn't be surprised if this is a big reason for some ships going down in the Bermuda Triangle.
Go look up Nazare, they even have surfers for reference :D Rogue waves are like 2-3x times the size. I think the largest wave was megatsunami in Lituya bay
From my father who used to be a sailer who was in the bermuda triangle for a good bit, there's also some other weird things that happen there. Like, whirl pools and "bubbling" in the water is fairly common, and the weather can change on a dime. Place just sucks but it's apparently really good for naval training.
Rogue waves were actually believed to be a myth for an extremely long time because they're... i don't want to say rare but they're not all that common. That and the unpredictable nature of them lead to a lot of skepticism when sailors would talk of being hit by a "rogue wave" with the general reaction being something like "what are you talking about? waves are predictable? you probably got drunk and weren't paying attention." It wasn't until the 20th century i believe when photographic and video evidence of rogue waves were captured that it became accepted as fact
I think it was in Emplemons video (?) but Rouge Troughs which are the exact same principals of a Rouge Wave but inverted are also a terrifying thought while out at sea. Oops, massive hole suddenly opens up and swallows your boat and you whole, darn 🌊
About that "can't you feel gravity" thing early on: Imagine you're in one of those rides in a theme park that's a big wheel that spins really fast so you're pushed towards the walls and it starts tilting side to side. It feels like your back is on the ground, like you're laying down on a floor of a moving vehicle, but as soon as you look up you see how everything is spinning... Same thing applies to airplanes and helicopters. If you loose a static point of reference, you can easily get completely lost without the instruments telling you which way you're going. And since a lot of that older tech was susceptible to shifts in magnetic fields and such, it isn't hard to see how so many planes would get lost without instruments and a point of reference.
Quite a large number of people have died because in a dark/foggy conditions a pilot can't tell the difference between climbing and accelerating into the ground. Hence why attitude indicators have been an essential part of cockpit instrumentation since WW1.
I'm a pilot. It's part of our training what was described. Your internal gyroscope (your inner ear) can get easily tricked that your flying strait when your actually spiraling to the ground if you can't actually see where you are going. Blue on blue over the ocean can be just as dangerous as flying through a cloud or at night. Instruments are important.
So fun fact about manganese ore when wet it can turn into a slurry, so if for example you were in a storm and water were somehow able to make it through the incredibly sturdy canvas covers that most boats at the time used for their hold, It would mean your hold of solid ore would soon become a hold of liquid moving with the rocking of the boat making it tip farther and farther with each movement.
I'm a little ignorant in these things, but why not have the entire squad switch to the mayday frequency? Would it take to long to get everyone on, or is it just somehow not possible to have so many people on it?
@@Vintagegaston also in 1940's technology, typically only the lead aircraft had a radio that could reach air bases while the rest of the squadron only had radios strong enough to communicate with each other
I'm assuming that they're operating off a rule of thumb that you don't change frequencies once you leave base to minimise the chances of people switching to the wrong frequency and getting scattered.
"Wing, ATC is telling us to switch over to S&R frequency, on my mark, mark" Seriously, they all had working radios, wing commander just has to tell everybody to switch to the same frequency. It's not that hard. Why are you defending a suicidal drunk that killed his entire wing?
Okay... I'm not even kidding, I have never had an interest in the Bermuda Triangle before last night when I clicked on some random video about it and went down a TH-cam rabbit hole. Now I'm seeing it everywhere and so of course it winds up being the Detective Ridiculous topic for the end of May. Gentlemen, I think the Triangle is calling to me.
9:00 That would be because acceleration, in an isolated frame of reference, is identical to gravity. Not just feels the same, IS the same. Anyone can experience this first hand on one of those fairground rides that have people stand with their backs to the inside of a spinning cylinder, the ones where it is on an arm that lifts it up at an angle; close your eyes and try to keep track of which way is down, have a friend opposite recording you pointing where you think the ground is and I guarentee you will be shocked at how fast you lose track.
So the thing with the radio frequency is that back in those days you were going to be on a single channel, couldn't be on multiple ones at once. So I'm assuming the flight leader was afraid if he switched to the Search and Rescue one, he wouldn't be able to coordinate the rest of the planes fallowing him in his formation. Though at that point he kinda had bigger issues to worry about.
Every time the Bermuda Triangle is talked about it feels like people always summarize the events used as proof. Actually breaking them down step by step feels new and refreshing. Would love to see more breakdowns of how things happened, it feels like that’s DK’s real unique spin on things- simplifying and breaking things down.
Shy, I love how you bless your presence with the ethereal background OST that has been playing throughout the episode. It is a nice touch and really fills in the episode. I hope you can do this more with ADRIC or at least with ADRID. My daily walk has been extra pleasant listening to this episode! :D
Honestly the most unexpected revelation in this episode to me what Bricky’s real name being Taylor. I always thought it was actually Brick and that was the meme 💀
I just got to that part. and i was also SO surprised. i always just thought his name was Brick or bricky and that was it. edit: I found his name "Taylor David Christiansen"
I figured itd at least be a B name like Blake so brick wasnt too far off, but ive known people named Brick, Chip, and all sorts of things so to hear it be that makes me kinda question everything lmao
Why weren't the bodies found after Flight 19? Well, between storms, ocean depths, the possibility that the planes might have caught fire and burned the remains, my personal explanation for a possibility is tiger sharks. Those things will eat just about anything , and several bodies are certainly "anything," and they've been recorded in that area if I'm not mistaken.
Man, why does all the goofy spy shit have to happen outside of my lifetime? Nowadays, it's all cyber-warfare this and digital counterintelligence that. When did we stop doing fun stuff, like throwing a dead Welsh hobo into the sea or terrorizing communists with fake cryptids? It's not fair, if you ask me.
As someone who has that exact manscaped box, it is utterly fantastic. I purchased it roughly over a year ago and I still have plenty of product left. 10/10, would recommend to a space marine
Honestly shocked and literally shaking right now at Bricky's real name. I want to go back to the safety and security of believing his parents named him "Brick".
After a review of all the relevant facts on the ground, I must conclude that Cthulhu does not reside at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle. It's clearly Dagon.
Despite all of those hurricanes that are aimed at Florida with the same fervor as a black templar, most of them miss Florida. They’re always “this category 5 hurricane will make landfall in Sarasota” or something like that but doesn’t make landfall until South Carolina. It was an actual surprise for Nicole to bot only hit Florida but for me to live in the mandatory evacuation zone. And sharks swimming in the streets, I found that hilarious.
I mean, I knew that “Bricky” came from his old gamertag, but learning his name is actually Taylor is the most shocking reveal that’s happened on detective ridiculous imo
It has occured to me that people dont know what sargassum seaweed is. I grew up along a coastlime that often got practically buried in the stuff. So yeah, it is surface-of-the-water seaweed that floats using little bubbles grown by the plant. Crabs, shrimp, and all sorts of sealife use it as a feeding ground. Birds rest on it, and fish feed from it. It feels like if steel wool was made out of wood if you walk on it, highly unpleasant, and it smells pretty awful too. Massive patches of it drift about the carribean and nearby atlantic waters (absolutely massive, measured in yards or meters not feet). As a side note, it also serves as natures bubble wrap! Those bubbles that help it float can actually be squeezed, and if you got to them before they started to rot but after they dried out enough to not be soaking wet, they make the same fun lil snapping sound as bubble wrap! Great way to mildly entertain yourself.
I would point out that due to how currents interact in the area, the Bermuda triangle is known to be a breeding ground for Rogue Waves, which are more than capable of sinking ships.
I also grew up hearing stories about the mythical Bermuda Triangle, and much like DK I felt kinda disappointed when I found out it was sensationalist make believe.
As a Bermudian, the Bermuda triangle always eventually comes up in the conversation and I eventually pull up google maps to show them the imaginary lines of the Bermuda Triangle and that most of the Bahamas is in the Triangle.
When i was young i was fascinated by the Triangle, but growing up i realized that their really wasn't that much more disparition in this zone than everywhere else in the ocean, and that some of the most spectacular ones weren't even in the Triangle, really bummed me out.
Tonite on Ridiculous Gear: Bricky enters the Bermunda Triussy, much to his sudden disgust. DK goes missing which is worrying as his job is the Adeptus Ridiculous Sanctioned Ab Moistener so no-one will moisten those abs and Shy is worried that people will finally figure out that the Bermunda Triangle is where she hides all those bodies
Fun fact about manganese: it is also sometimes found in groundwater, and can become incorporated into fossils ! The Black Beauty T rex specimen gets its gorgeous obsidian color from manganese.
Also the "when the US won WWII".. i mean it's not like the US wasn't one of the biggest factors in the allied victory but i dare you to say "the US won the war" to all the european and rusky vets lmao
Hey! Great episode guys! But there is another thing about bauxite that you have missed: It's subject to so called cargo liquefaction. If the moisture content is above a certain amount (when bauxite is stored in the open and gets rained on) it will start to "slosh" around in the cargo hold and can capsize a ship or literally smash it spart from the inside. Its a serious risk and ships have broken apart and sunk like that before ;)
it also doesn't help that people telling others these stories might not have all the facts themselves, so things get lost as it passed on like a game of telephone.
Definitely digging the ambient music in the back ground. Next time DK tackles something super fucked up, you could do an more sinister back ground track
As a pilot, yes you can very easily lose your equilibrium flying. If you don't have instruments to follow, it's super easy to confuse the horizon with something else or vice versa. You can tell quick changed in elevation or direction. But if it's a slow steady change. Your body almost won't notice it and it's almost impossible to notice till its too late
Pilots can lose equilibrium if you look up spacial disorientation and it’s less flipping upside down, but you don’t know you are descending or don’t know you are turning
To clear up the Columbus stuff, he actually assumed that the lights in the distance were caused by fires close to land, which was confirmed cause not long after, they found the first sight of land. Secondly, and this confuses me, cause its well documented, he wasn't going to india at all, but Japan. So when he finally made landfall in the Caribbean, he knew the land he found was prior to undiscovered, but assumed it was off the coast of japan.
Americans hear 'East Indies' and assume that just means India I guess lmao. American schools only teach keywords and rote phrases, never what they actually mean. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell! :)))
@@MaraW1832 I think it has more to do with people not really knowing if South America and India were separated or not. If you look at some maps up till the mid 1500s, you'll notice that they copied the terrain of India and South America, as well as the city names. Added to that, there was a lot of time between 1492 and now, obviously. Columbus spoke an older dialect of Italian and Spanish, and none of his original writing has survived to this day, and to make it worse, the printing press is still several decades away from Columbus's time. This left many decades for people to... edit... his works. This comes to a head with the several wars between England and Spain, where England would spread propaganda to make themselves look good, one of these many things regard colonialism. So many of those stories made Columbus look like the devil incarnate. This isn't to say Columbus is a great person or anything, he was a terrible person, but context should still be applied to the tike period.
@@nukclear2741 What was all that in response to? I was talking about the fact that the average modern American believes the East Indies to mean India and only India because most of the shitty textbooks never mention the Philippines, Malaysia, or New Guinea. You said you were confused why people keep saying he was going to India, and poor education is the answer.
Loving detective ridiculous as always, but I died inside when dk said that world war 1 kicked off in April 1917. Correction for any American viewers, thats when the USA joined the first world war. It started in 1914 after Austria Hungary declared war against Serbia following the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo.
The U.S Education system - Bricky : What are those islands off the coast of Florida? DK : When the First World War started...in 1917 Also DK : After the U.S. had won the First World War....
Y’all should do SkinWalker Ranch next. Dry to debunk everything that people say goes on there from aliens to paranormal activities are said to be part of this area. I also forgot some cryptids also partake in this area also 😂😂😂😂
Freighters used to break apart with alarming frequency back in the day. It's not impossible even today. During the rescue depicted in The Finest Hours, for example, the Pendleton was the second freighter in that storm to snap in half. I can think of 3 freighters that broke apart in the last few years.
My favourite thing about the Bermuda triangle is you can send letters to your past selves through it and slightly taint what otherwise would have been the best anime I've seen
Hearing about the how do you live in the triangle reminds me of when I was younger my dad was in the air force and we were stationed in Hawaii for a few years. Then we got orders to move to Rhode Island and folks at school kept asking me how was it living in grass huts and not having normal stuff…..I had more access to stores and such in Hawaii then I did there
I'm sorry what?! While the Bermuda triangle was a Thing during my childhood/early Teens, but i never bothered looking into it. Later it was somewhere at the furthest Edge of my awareness. And the whole time, tor some reason i thought it was somewhere in the pacific, Not NEAR FYKING FLORIDA!!! WHAT HAS MURRICA BEEN DOING EVER SINCE THE VIKINGS GOT THERE?!
Bermuda triangle has a lot of tectonic activity. I believe the likely cause for planes and ships going down in the area is due to pockets of gas being released from the seabed. Ships would just fall to the seabed if big enough gas pockets get released and IIRC most ships found on the bottom were right side up as opposed to on their side like normal. Plane issues likely caused by pockets of low density air causing extreme turbulence
I’m from Puerto Rico; we literally go on cruise, boat rides and fishing in those areas along with Dominicans and Bermudans. We get trade ships and more from Florida that go through that area. I only found out about there being a conspiracy about the Bermuda Triangle cause of American shows like Ancient Aliens and such. It was really funny to see some Americans believe that, especially since I had friends who’s parents where marine biologists who would constantly go there back in the day. I asked them about it one day, and my friend’s mom laughed and said it was a silly myth and their dad thought it was weird cause he’d been there for decades, too, and he never saw any weird shit. 😂
As a kid i used to imagine the bermuda triangle as a small, remote area tucked away somewhere between the islands of the caribbean, where like one out of ten ships goes missing. Imagine my surprise when i first checked it on a map and found out that it´s actually giant swath of open ocean with major shipping lanes criss-crossing it.
I mean if Cthulhu or Nyarlathothep were hiding somewhere, why would they be in the bermuda triangle, wouldn't it make more sense that they took their nap somewhere they wouldn't be disturbed like in the mariana trench or under the poles?
Some times winning at detection is losing. Well done DK. Maybe you can one day be vindicated if extraterrestrial invaders drop some monolithic command post from space, straight into the Triangle, and begin the invasion.
A video on the 1958 Lituya Bay mega tsunami would be interesting, it was the largest tsunami ever recorded, with the water reaching 524m above sea level
You guys might wanna checkout the Valley of Headless Men, or the Nahanni Valley next. Crazy shit had happened there. An entire tribe disappearing overnight without a trace, prospectors finding gold there before their corpses were found decapitated with their heads no where in sight, and legends of cannibals roaming around the Nahanni valley. Shit is crazy there.
even with satellite mapping, researchers haven't found or won't say without damaging their own credibility, about locating deep sea wrecks in the Bermuda triangle.
7:30 I think they can still tell up from down, the issue is that a plane must keep a certain distance from sea level to mantain flight, to high and it falls, but to low and it would also fall, kinda like icarus' wings, only instead of the sun melting wax it's the thinner aymosphere that is the problem
Lived on both coasts and something that is different from the coasts that I've noticed is east coast florida has riptides normally near the shore so it begs the question what exactly were the conditions of the ocean at that time. I also think the pilot might of had lack of sleep as that can cause issues when working with machinery and make training go out the window.
Friendly Omnissiah praising Aircraft Mechanic here. So the radio and radar or avionics of those old WW2 planes are prone of 2 things Fire and radioactivity. Newer planes go through many different forms of layering to focus and protect against radio waves but you’re still advised not to ground sweep the plane hence the tearing apart other planes (guessing here). Another note is they used old dial knob controlled frequencies so simply switching back and forth would be Fucking torture
Seeing the map of where ships are actually disappearing. I'm not surprised to see my local ocean, the South China Sea as the top. Place is infested with pirates. Like real pirates with speed boats and AKs. It's also insanely high traffic, with basically everything that gets to Europe from China goes through it.
The funny thing is that if this were the world of Lord of the Rings (which is canonically set in an alternate prehistory of our world), everyone who went missing in the triangle is actually off to Aman to visit the Elves! XD
Living in bermuda its fun to mess with tourists regarding the triangle. The tip is in Dockyard mall if anyone visits the island and is curious to see it

When did we stop doing fun stuff, like throwing a dead Welsh hobo into the sea or terrorizing communists with fake cryptids? It's not fair, if you ask me.
i dont know whose idea it was, but the serene music in the background is a nice touch
As someone who has that exact manscaped box, it is utterly fantastic. I purchased it roughly over a year ago and I still have plenty of product left. 10/10, would recommend to a space marine
Honestly shocked and literally shaking right now at Bricky's real name.
I want to go back to the safety and security of believing his parents named him "Brick".
Same it's weird i wish i didn't know this
Oh you guys didnt already know? I thought his name was well known
After a review of all the relevant facts on the ground, I must conclude that Cthulhu does not reside at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle.
It's clearly Dagon.
Despite all of those hurricanes that are aimed at Florida with the same fervor as a black templar, most of them miss Florida. They’re always “this category 5 hurricane will make landfall in Sarasota” or something like that but doesn’t make landfall until South Carolina. It was an actual surprise for Nicole to bot only hit Florida but for me to live in the mandatory evacuation zone. And sharks swimming in the streets, I found that hilarious.
Street sharks? JAWSOME
I mean, I knew that “Bricky” came from his old gamertag, but learning his name is actually Taylor is the most shocking reveal that’s happened on detective ridiculous imo
It has occured to me that people dont know what sargassum seaweed is. I grew up along a coastlime that often got practically buried in the stuff. So yeah, it is surface-of-the-water seaweed that floats using little bubbles grown by the plant. Crabs, shrimp, and all sorts of sealife use it as a feeding ground. Birds rest on it, and fish feed from it. It feels like if steel wool was made out of wood if you walk on it, highly unpleasant, and it smells pretty awful too. Massive patches of it drift about the carribean and nearby atlantic waters (absolutely massive, measured in yards or meters not feet). As a side note, it also serves as natures bubble wrap! Those bubbles that help it float can actually be squeezed, and if you got to them before they started to rot but after they dried out enough to not be soaking wet, they make the same fun lil snapping sound as bubble wrap! Great way to mildly entertain yourself.
I would point out that due to how currents interact in the area, the Bermuda triangle is known to be a breeding ground for Rogue Waves, which are more than capable of sinking ships.
I also grew up hearing stories about the mythical Bermuda Triangle, and much like DK I felt kinda disappointed when I found out it was sensationalist make believe.
As a Bermudian, the Bermuda triangle always eventually comes up in the conversation and I eventually pull up google maps to show them the imaginary lines of the Bermuda Triangle and that most of the Bahamas is in the Triangle.
When i was young i was fascinated by the Triangle, but growing up i realized that their really wasn't that much more disparition in this zone than everywhere else in the ocean, and that some of the most spectacular ones weren't even in the Triangle, really bummed me out.
Tonite on Ridiculous Gear: Bricky enters the Bermunda Triussy, much to his sudden disgust. DK goes missing which is worrying as his job is the Adeptus Ridiculous Sanctioned Ab Moistener so no-one will moisten those abs and Shy is worried that people will finally figure out that the Bermunda Triangle is where she hides all those bodies
Best one yet in my opinion
This one's good
@@petulantpeterturbo cheers
Fun fact about manganese: it is also sometimes found in groundwater, and can become incorporated into fossils ! The Black Beauty T rex specimen gets its gorgeous obsidian color from manganese.
35:17 Trayzen adds another exhibit to his collection…
This video is a great lesson on the meaning of Occam's razor
DK: “when WW1 started in April 1917
All of Europe: “am I a fucking joke to you?”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also the "when the US won WWII".. i mean it's not like the US wasn't one of the biggest factors in the allied victory but i dare you to say "the US won the war" to all the european and rusky vets lmao
@@marcog.verbruggen674back to back world war champions
America: “yes”
I think missing 411 would be a pretty fitting thing to have on next, and I'd love to hear bricky and dk react to some of the wilder disappearens
Hey!
Great episode guys! But there is another thing about bauxite that you have missed:
It's subject to so called cargo liquefaction. If the moisture content is above a certain amount (when bauxite is stored in the open and gets rained on) it will start to "slosh" around in the cargo hold and can capsize a ship or literally smash it spart from the inside.
Its a serious risk and ships have broken apart and sunk like that before ;)
I think you could just about draw any shape on a map and you could find enough stories to make that place sound more interesting than it really is
it also doesn't help that people telling others these stories might not have all the facts themselves, so things get lost as it passed on like a game of telephone.
Definitely digging the ambient music in the back ground. Next time DK tackles something super fucked up, you could do an more sinister back ground track
As a pilot, yes you can very easily lose your equilibrium flying. If you don't have instruments to follow, it's super easy to confuse the horizon with something else or vice versa. You can tell quick changed in elevation or direction. But if it's a slow steady change. Your body almost won't notice it and it's almost impossible to notice till its too late
Pilots can lose equilibrium if you look up spacial disorientation and it’s less flipping upside down, but you don’t know you are descending or don’t know you are turning
To clear up the Columbus stuff, he actually assumed that the lights in the distance were caused by fires close to land, which was confirmed cause not long after, they found the first sight of land.
Secondly, and this confuses me, cause its well documented, he wasn't going to india at all, but Japan.
So when he finally made landfall in the Caribbean, he knew the land he found was prior to undiscovered, but assumed it was off the coast of japan.
Americans hear 'East Indies' and assume that just means India I guess lmao. American schools only teach keywords and rote phrases, never what they actually mean. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell! :)))
@@MaraW1832 I think it has more to do with people not really knowing if South America and India were separated or not.
If you look at some maps up till the mid 1500s, you'll notice that they copied the terrain of India and South America, as well as the city names.
Added to that, there was a lot of time between 1492 and now, obviously.
Columbus spoke an older dialect of Italian and Spanish, and none of his original writing has survived to this day, and to make it worse, the printing press is still several decades away from Columbus's time.
This left many decades for people to... edit... his works.
This comes to a head with the several wars between England and Spain, where England would spread propaganda to make themselves look good, one of these many things regard colonialism.
So many of those stories made Columbus look like the devil incarnate.
This isn't to say Columbus is a great person or anything, he was a terrible person, but context should still be applied to the tike period.
Well he wasn't exactly wrong it's off the coast of Japan just I think it's like a few thousand miles apart
@@nukclear2741 What was all that in response to? I was talking about the fact that the average modern American believes the East Indies to mean India and only India because most of the shitty textbooks never mention the Philippines, Malaysia, or New Guinea. You said you were confused why people keep saying he was going to India, and poor education is the answer.
@@MaraW1832 I tend to rant.
My bad. XD
We need an episode on big foot now
Loving detective ridiculous as always, but I died inside when dk said that world war 1 kicked off in April 1917. Correction for any American viewers, thats when the USA joined the first world war. It started in 1914 after Austria Hungary declared war against Serbia following the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo.
The U.S Education system -
Bricky : What are those islands off the coast of Florida?
DK : When the First World War started...in 1917
Also DK : After the U.S. had won the First World War....
Y’all should do SkinWalker Ranch next. Dry to debunk everything that people say goes on there from aliens to paranormal activities are said to be part of this area. I also forgot some cryptids also partake in this area also 😂😂😂😂
Freighters used to break apart with alarming frequency back in the day. It's not impossible even today. During the rescue depicted in The Finest Hours, for example, the Pendleton was the second freighter in that storm to snap in half. I can think of 3 freighters that broke apart in the last few years.
Since you did the USS Cyclops could you do the USS Liberty incident sometimes fire is a little too friendly 😂
My favourite thing about the Bermuda triangle is you can send letters to your past selves through it and slightly taint what otherwise would have been the best anime I've seen
Everything I wanted! I love this topic! Thanks for another sick episode guys!
Great job on this one DK.
I refuse Thats how bricky just gave us his name, might not be the first time but i loved just thinking your name is just bricky nothing else.
Hearing about the how do you live in the triangle reminds me of when I was younger my dad was in the air force and we were stationed in Hawaii for a few years. Then we got orders to move to Rhode Island and folks at school kept asking me how was it living in grass huts and not having normal stuff…..I had more access to stores and such in Hawaii then I did there
FYI gravity is indistinguishable from acceleration, so you could be in a upside-down dive and think you were going skyward, for example.
I love these episodes. I hope they continue.
Finally. Someone reviewed of of my favorite buckethead albums
I'm sorry what?! While the Bermuda triangle was a Thing during my childhood/early Teens, but i never bothered looking into it. Later it was somewhere at the furthest Edge of my awareness. And the whole time, tor some reason i thought it was somewhere in the pacific, Not NEAR FYKING FLORIDA!!! WHAT HAS MURRICA BEEN DOING EVER SINCE THE VIKINGS GOT THERE?!
Taylor Brick loves himself some 22nd millenium shenanigans
Of course Chthulu is not in the Bermuda Triangle, he's at Point Nemo
Bermuda triangle has a lot of tectonic activity. I believe the likely cause for planes and ships going down in the area is due to pockets of gas being released from the seabed. Ships would just fall to the seabed if big enough gas pockets get released and IIRC most ships found on the bottom were right side up as opposed to on their side like normal.
Plane issues likely caused by pockets of low density air causing extreme turbulence
3:30 I mean if you want you could talk about The Dragon's Triangle the only difference is that MASSIVE Ships disappear not just the little ones.
Today I learned: Bricky’s real name! Neat!
I’m from Puerto Rico; we literally go on cruise, boat rides and fishing in those areas along with Dominicans and Bermudans. We get trade ships and more from Florida that go through that area. I only found out about there being a conspiracy about the Bermuda Triangle cause of American shows like Ancient Aliens and such. It was really funny to see some Americans believe that, especially since I had friends who’s parents where marine biologists who would constantly go there back in the day. I asked them about it one day, and my friend’s mom laughed and said it was a silly myth and their dad thought it was weird cause he’d been there for decades, too, and he never saw any weird shit. 😂
Unrealistic. The Lieutenant knowing where he's going? Fuck.
Is the background music from Oxenfree, Beyond the Pale, or Darkwood? I feel like I know it from somewhere
one of my favorite kinda joke idea is Ghostbusters Extreme explains the Bermuda Triangle as actually being a ghost
As a kid i used to imagine the bermuda triangle as a small, remote area tucked away somewhere between the islands of the caribbean, where like one out of ten ships goes missing. Imagine my surprise when i first checked it on a map and found out that it´s actually giant swath of open ocean with major shipping lanes criss-crossing it.
I mean if Cthulhu or Nyarlathothep were hiding somewhere, why would they be in the bermuda triangle, wouldn't it make more sense that they took their nap somewhere they wouldn't be disturbed like in the mariana trench or under the poles?
Love the show, you guys should do the Halifax incident
Some times winning at detection is losing. Well done DK. Maybe you can one day be vindicated if extraterrestrial invaders drop some monolithic command post from space, straight into the Triangle, and begin the invasion.
Great stuff as always :D
Have yall heard about a thing called All Tomorrows? That would be a fun episode!
Kinda wild to hear Sinvicta mentioned, I remember that dude from my PoE days
A video on the 1958 Lituya Bay mega tsunami would be interesting, it was the largest tsunami ever recorded, with the water reaching 524m above sea level
32:50 the pilot commander is like : east? i thought you said weast.
You guys might wanna checkout the Valley of Headless Men, or the Nahanni Valley next. Crazy shit had happened there. An entire tribe disappearing overnight without a trace, prospectors finding gold there before their corpses were found decapitated with their heads no where in sight, and legends of cannibals roaming around the Nahanni valley. Shit is crazy there.
even with satellite mapping, researchers haven't found or won't say without damaging their own credibility, about locating deep sea wrecks in the Bermuda triangle.
Only thing is more terrifying than 40k is real life.
The most profound quote i ever heard 😢
You know a true crime/conspiracy podcast is good when Google adds a context box to it.
How the Cyclops is theorized to have broken sounds like how the Edmund Fitzgerald was theorized to have sunk.
7:30 I think they can still tell up from down, the issue is that a plane must keep a certain distance from sea level to mantain flight, to high and it falls, but to low and it would also fall, kinda like icarus' wings, only instead of the sun melting wax it's the thinner aymosphere that is the problem
The VAN METER VISITOR is a good one
You forgot about the sinking of the French Cruiser Submarine the Surcouf.
Best channel ever. 40k lore AND conspiracy/ true crime. Damn you guys are truly people of culture.
Wow! Favorite thumbnail so far!
Lived on both coasts and something that is different from the coasts that I've noticed is east coast florida has riptides normally near the shore so it begs the question what exactly were the conditions of the ocean at that time. I also think the pilot might of had lack of sleep as that can cause issues when working with machinery and make training go out the window.
to be honest, I mostly come to this channel for detective ridiculous more than adeptus ridiculous.
Friendly Omnissiah praising Aircraft Mechanic here. So the radio and radar or avionics of those old WW2 planes are prone of 2 things Fire and radioactivity. Newer planes go through many different forms of layering to focus and protect against radio waves but you’re still advised not to ground sweep the plane hence the tearing apart other planes (guessing here). Another note is they used old dial knob controlled frequencies so simply switching back and forth would be Fucking torture
Seeing the map of where ships are actually disappearing.
I'm not surprised to see my local ocean, the South China Sea as the top.
Place is infested with pirates. Like real pirates with speed boats and AKs.
It's also insanely high traffic, with basically everything that gets to Europe from China goes through it.
I guess it will be interesting episode about Russian sleep experiment
The funny thing is that if this were the world of Lord of the Rings (which is canonically set in an alternate prehistory of our world), everyone who went missing in the triangle is actually off to Aman to visit the Elves! XD
Any time TH-cam force links a Wikipedia article of all things, you know its a good video
Living in bermuda its fun to mess with tourists regarding the triangle. The tip is in Dockyard mall if anyone visits the island and is curious to see it
Wish people would get over the propaganda about Columbus. He wasn't that bad of a man, certainly no one to hate.
Do the Michigan Triangle. Just as bad, if not worse, than the bermuda triangle. And the concept is just as spoofy
The answer is simple, 'aliens, ancient aliens.'
Please do an episode on the Nahanni Valley
Can't wait for the coverage of the Great Lakes disappearances... Edmund Fitzgerald first among them
Absolutely. Also, RIP Gordon Lightfoot; you will be missed dearly.
3 ships of thd same class going missing in the same area. Speaks more to the dangerous nature of the ships rather than the area
That area has way more disappearances of mysteries once you realize you are supposed to start on the inland border of Florida
DK singing Kokomo gave me joy
So the Bermuda triangle is warp portal?!?!
