Travel › Mysterious Facts, Incidents, And Disappearances That Still Remain Unexplained. by Explorers(op): 5:30am On Oct 31, 2015
1. Disappearances of Bermuda Triangle.




The Bermuda Triangle is one of the world’s greatest mysteries. Many scientists have attempted to theorize what makes the place so dangerous, but one thing is certain more planes and ships have disappeared there than anywhere else in the world. The Bermuda Triangle, also called the Devil’s Triangle takes up the space between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and the tip of Florida, in the Western part of the North Atlantic Ocean. People like to speculate many supernatural causes for the phenomenon such as alien activity or experiments.The first time the Bermuda Triangle was mentioned was by writer Vincent Gaddis in an article published in 1964 for Argosy magazine. Although there are plenty of unexplained disappearances in the area, it is also a heavily traveled area, and one of the busiest shipping routes. Cruise ships frequently enter the area as well as private boats traveling between Florida and the islands. Planes heading to the Caribbean or South American destinations from up north fly right through the Bermuda Triangle and in comparison not many flights have experiences anything unexplained.Some of the more interesting explanations for the bizarre section of ocean includes the idea of interference from leftover technology from the mythical city of Atlantis. More logical explanations have been considered by scientists and it is thought magnetic anomalies may exist in the Triangle which would affect the compasses. Another common explanation is the formation of methane hydrates (natural gas) on the continental shelves at the bottom of the ocean. Experiments have proven the bubbles created can sink a ship by making the water less buoyant and any debris left over from the wreck would quickly be carried off by the Gulf Stream, making it nearly impossible to find the vessel, butthis idea would account for airplanes and there are no reports of this happening in the Bermuda triangle in over 15,000 years.

26. Unfortunately the second victim of the fatal crash, Roger Rodas, did not get as much world-wide attention as Paul.


Roger Rodas was a friend, racing competitor, and co-owner with Paul at a car customization business called “Always Evolving”. Roger was also Paul’s financial advisor, and they performed a lot of charity work together. In fact, they were on their way to a fund raiser event for “Reach Out Worldwide” when they had the accident.

25. Paul was known for having a huge heart and always helped people in any way he could.


Paul was involved in helping many victims of the earthquake in Haiti, and started a charity organization called ‘Reach Out Worldwide‘ which still assists areas affected by natural disasters around the world. Once he was in a jewelry store one day when he noticed a young U.S. military veteran with his fiance shopping for a wedding ring. Paul went to the manager and said “Put that girl’s ring on my tab.”

24. Paul had a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

When Paul was tragically killed, he was already a brown belt at the Paragon Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy in California, under instructor Ricardo ‘Franjinha’ Miller. Following Walker’s death, Miller decided to honor Paul by posthumously bequeathing the actor his black belt at a memorial held by his family.

23. Paul was always held in high regard and was close friends with his “Fast and Furious” co-star Tyrese Gibson. Vin Diesel considered Paul to be like a brother, and affectionately called him “Pablo”.

Paul Walker’s mother often referred to her son as Vin Diesel’s “other half”. Perhaps the chemistry between the cast members is part of the reason why the Fast and Furious franchise has been so successful.

22. Paul Walker majored in Marine Biology at the California community college, and was a huge fan of Marine Biologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau.

Although Paul enjoyed acting, his first love was always marine biology. He was a board member of the Billfish Foundation, and did many projects including “Expedition Great White” for National Geographic. Keep this in mind the next time you watch “Into the Blue”.

21. Paul started his small screen career as a toddler, when he starred in a commercial for Pampers in the 1970’s.

Paul was a natural actor and started working in television in 1985 at the age of 11, appearing in “Highway to Heaven”, “Touched by an Angel”, “Throb” and others before moving on to the big screen.

20. The Rock was cast in the films thanks to a Facebook comment. Dwayne Johnson’s character, Agent Hobbs, was originally supposed to be played by a much older actor, but when director Justin Lin and Diesel saw a Facebook comment talking about how cool it would be to see The Rock go toe-to-toe with Diesel, the two couldn’t resist. They re-worked the part and offered it immediately to the wrestler/actor.

19. Fast 4: The trucker’s iguana in the scene wouldn’t bite the driver’s ice cream, as Lin wanted. In the commentary, Lin says the lizard was starved for two weeks and brought back to the set. When it still didn’t bit the ice cream, they decided to make it happen with CGI.

18. The idea for the opening heist of a fuel tanker originated with the brainstorm that gear heads like Dom wouldn’t be able to afford gas, so they’d have to steal it. Michelle Rodriguez during the opening sequence.

The report.


The 40-year-old could have taken a few breaths after impact as bits of soot were found in his trachea, the report states. The cause of death which was already stated on his Death Certificate was from 'combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries.'The actor's entire body was charred through the skin it was burned so badly none of his organs were suitable for donation, according to the report. His body was discovered in the passenger seat in a 'pugilistic stance,' which means he was in a defensive position preparing for a crash.There were multiple fractures throughout his body, including his jaw, collarbone, and left upper arm according to the report. There were also various ribs and pelvic fractures.
