July 23, 2019Rival ‘Storm Bermuda Triangle’ Event Follows Viral ‘Storm Area 51’ Craze
There is another Facebook event that might take over the viral “Storm Area 51” internet craze and it involves one of the most mysterious areas in world—the Bermuda Triangle.
The rival Facebook event, which was created on July 12, has attracted thousands of people who are interested or say they’ll actually go to the spooky oceanic region, which has been responsible for many airplane and ship disappearances due to unexplainable circumstances, Fox 5 NY reported.
Anthony Dominick Carnovale, who created the event on Facebook, told Fox 5 NY that the event isn’t actually a joke gathering. Carnovale said once the concept of breaching the Bermuda Triangle reached 25,000, he decided to create a GoFundMe to raise funds for an actual party in Florida.

The event, which has the catch phrase “it can’t swallow all of us,” will take place on Oct. 1 at 8:00 a.m. EDT and requires all attendees to “dress as SpongeBob SquarePants or pirates.” There will be food and drinks to buy as well. Any additional funds raised and unused will also be donated to cancer research, in memory of Carnovale’s grandfather, who passed away in 2017, Fox News noted.
“I’m contractually obligated to only use the money for the event,” Carnovale added. “If I somehow can’t, I have to give everyone their money back.”
Carnovale also created the event because he was concerned that people will actually go to the “Storm Area 51” event, even though it was made clear that it was a hoax gathering on Facebook.
“The Area 51 event is dangerous,” Carnovale explained. “I honestly just don’t want people to attend the Area 51 event because I don’t want people getting shot or arrested.”
Instead of going to the top secret military area, Carnovale said a giant party with live entertainment would be a safer option, even if no one actually tries to find missing boats and planes in the Bermuda Triangle.
“Live music, entertainment, beach party,” Carnovale added. “Why not come to the Bermuda Triangle Festival?”
