A massive international search and rescue operation is underway in the Java Sea after a passenger ferry carrying 243 people capsized during a violent storm. With 126 people still missing, the disaster has put a terrifying spotlight back on the "Masalembo Triangle" -- a notorious dead-zone known as Indonesia’s Bermuda Triangle. What really happened to the vessel? Why is this specific stretch of water an aquatic graveyard?
In the early hours of September 13, a routine 20-hour voyage from Surabaya to Banjarmasin turned into a horrific nightmare. Trapped in heavy storm conditions with 3-to-4-metre waves, the captain sent a frantic distress call before the vessel capsized in less than 10 minutes. While 108 survivors have been rescued -- including a young waiter who survived 10 agonising hours by clinging to a 12-kg cooking-gas cylinder -- at least 9 are confirmed dead, and over a hundred people remain missing.
In this video, we investigate the latest ferry disaster and explore the chilling science and dark history behind the Masalembo waters. Located between East Java, West Sulawesi and West Nusa Tenggara, this highly-trafficked shipping-lane hides an atmospheric and oceanic battleground beneath the surface.
Discover how three monumental oceanic currents from the Pacific and Indian Oceans collide to create massive, invisible underwater vortexes, sudden magnetic compass failures, and deadly air-pocket turbulence. From the tragic 1981 ferry sinking to a catastrophic 2007 passenger plane crash, we look at why the Masalembo Triangle remains one of the most feared marine corridors on Earth.
