Five has announced its next live television event following on from the imminent Killer Shark Watch Live. Inside The Bermuda Triangle Live, produced by Brighter Pictures (part of Endemol UK), explores the science behind the mysterious and dramatic history of The Bermuda Triangle, one of the world's most inexplicably dangerous zones, located in a region off the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, Miami, Florida and Puerto Rico. Stripped across seven nights, the nightly programmes will explore the theories behind this incredible modern mystery, which has a history of unexplainable disappearances of ships and planes that defy any logical reasoning. Each night theories will be tested to debunk the myth and demystify the legend as we traverse through the triangle to follow the paths of the doomed missions - the fateful final voyages of some of the Triangle's famous victims, including, The Ellen Austin in 1881, The U.S.S. Clyclops in 1918, the disappearing yacht called Witchcraft in 1967 and the ill-fated Sylvia L Ossa in 1976, the biggest ship to disappear into the ether. The series culminates in the Triangle's biggest mystery of all - the legendary Flight 19. On December 5th, 1945, five navy avenger bombers mysteriously vanished whilst on routine training, as did the rescue plane sent to search for them. Six aircrafts and 27 men disappeared without trace. Inside The Bermuda Triangle Live will also feature via a recorded and archive footage, the final resting places of seven of the Triangle's victims and in addition, first hand interviews from local residents who on a daily basis, have ventured into the place known by the locals as the Devil Triangle, where the reality of this infamous stretch of sea becomes all too true. Five's Controller of Features and Entertainment, Ben Frow, said:"In the tradition of Five's previous live television events, the depth, ambition, and scale of this investigation promises to present the definitive guide to a mystery that has fascinated audiences for decades, leaving no stone unturned. Inside The Bermuda Triangle Live will be a unique journey into history, myth and human drama." Brighter Pictures Managing Director and Executive Producer, Elaine Hackett, said:"To this day over 1000 people are still missing within the triangle and no trace of their vessels has ever been found - so what is going on? Retracing these victims' footsteps to their precise geographical point of disappearance has never been attempted and with the triangle's reputation, we just don't know what will happen!" Inside The Bermuda Triangle Live is a Brighter Pictures Production (part of Endemol UK) for Five. Executive Producer is Elaine Hackett and Series Producer is Nick Aarons.
