The planes were in good condition; they had the best equipment on board including compasses and radios, and they also carried life rafts. The planes could float on water for ninety seconds.

However, the most recent theory has a scientific basis and is more believable. 7The discovery of methane gas on the seafloor of the Bermuda Triangle started a scientist, Dr
