Series Premieres Wednesday, February 26 at 9 PM ET/PT on Science Channel
REVEALING THE HIDDEN TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE GREATEST ENGINEERING FEATS
Series Premieres Wednesday, February 26 at 9 PM ET/PT on Science Channel
(NEW YORK) – These machines defy belief. They master the tasks that humans cannot. Today’s mega machines – from bullet trains to cargo planes – have transformed our understanding of modern-day engineering and our daily lives. In an all-new
season of MEGA MACHINES, premiering Wednesday, February 26 at 9 PM ET/PT on Science Channel, viewers will go inside these iconic machines to uncover the hidden secrets of how they work, how they were built and just how far they’ve evolved.
These aren’t your ordinary machines. Throughout the season, experts will reveal the secrets and technology that has made these machines the most advanced of their kind. How does a high-speed catamaran become the fastest passenger ship in
the world? And how can it transport 1,000 passengers and 150 cars at speeds over 65 mph?
Back on land, MEGA MACHINES looks to the remote Norwegian wilderness and the TRAXX F1, considered the world’s toughest and most powerful electric freight train, responsible for hauling million-dollar lumber loads against the clock. But
these aren’t the only incredible machines in existence. MEGA MACHINES also spotlights the groundbreaking Seraph flying car, a unique passenger craft based on 12 rotor drone technology that could revolutionize the way we all travel. Viewers will get an inside
look at the technology behind the ‘Beluga’ mega-plane – named after the white Arctic whale due to its bulging nose. It has a massive wingspan which can hold enough fuel to fill the gas tanks of 2,500 family cars. The aviation world is also dominated by the
K-Max helicopter, which can carry loads weighing more than 2 tons.
Transforming our understanding of the machines around us, MEGA MACHINES offers a never before seen look at these unbelieve feats of engineering and the people who made them possible.
MEGA MACHINES is produced for Science Channel by Windfall Films. For Windfall Films, series producer is Mark Bridge, executive producer is Carlo Massarella. For Science Channel, Gretchen Eisele is executive producer and Ted Levin is production
coordinator.

All New Series: Premieres Sunday, February 9 at 8 PM ET/PT on Science Channel
Since the SS Cotopaxi disappeared in 1925, it has become one of the most famous stories associated with the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. On November 29, 1925 the steam powered bulk carrier set off on a standard trip from Charleston, South Carolina to Havana, Cuba. No one knows where or how it vanished and none of bodies of the 32 passengers on board were ever recovered. It is one of the triangle’s biggest secrets with even a starring appearance in Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Now, almost 100 years later, a team of marine biologists and underwater explorers have identified the SS Cotopaxi off the coast of St. Augustine, Florida. Subsequent episodes will premiere on Sunday nights at 9 PM ET/PT on Science Channel.

With dozens of years of experience at sea between them, members of the Triangle Research and Investigation Group, or TRIG team, will investigate a variety of mysteries and attempt to determine whether these stories are purely coincidence, or if there’s an explanation – scientific or supernatural – hidden beneath the surface. In the series premiere, the TRIG team investigates the case of a squadron of Navy aircraft known as Flight 19 that flew into the Bermuda Triangle on a routine training mission in 1945 and was never seen again. What could have caused the planes to divert from their intended route, and why is there no physical evidence of any of them

Legendary Ship Located 100 Years After Vanishing in the Bermuda Triangle – A New Series on Science Channel
NEW SCIENCE CHANNEL SERIES
SHIPWRECK SECRETS
LOCATES SS COTOPAXI, SHIP THAT VANISHED IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE IN 1925
SHIPWRECK SECRETS
LOCATES SS COTOPAXI, SHIP THAT VANISHED IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE IN 1925
SERIES KICKS OFF WITH TWO-HOUR SPECIAL ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9 AT 8PM
(New York) – Since the SS Cotopaxi disappeared in 1925, it has become one of the most famous stories associated with the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. On November 29, 1925 the steam powered bulk carrier
set off on a standard trip from Charleston, South Carolina to Havana, Cuba. No one knows where or how it vanished and none of bodies of the 32 passengers on board were ever recovered. It is one of the triangle’s biggest secrets and even popped up at the end
of Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Now, almost 100 years later, a team of marine biologists and underwater explorers have identified the SS Cotopaxi about 35 nautical miles off the coast of St. Augustine, Florida. Their research and findings
can be seen in the premiere episode of the new Science Channel series, SHIPWRECK SECRETS,
premiering Sunday, February 9 at 8 p.m. Subsequent episodes will premiere on Sunday nights at 9 p.m.
To help pinpoint the possible location where the SS Cotopaxi sunk, marine biologist and underwater explorer Michael Barnette contacted British historian Guy Walters to help do some digging. Walters combed through ship
records at the archives of Lloyd’s of London, who were the insurance brokers of the SS Cotopaxi. There he discovered something previously unknown about the SS Cotopaxi’s voyage. The ship had sent out wireless distress signals on December 1st, 1925,
two days after it left Charleston. The signals were picked up in Jacksonville, Florida, placing the ship in the area of a shipwreck found nearly 35 years ago, known as the Bear Wreck.
Armed with this new information, Barnette headed to St. Augustine with his dive partner, Joe Citelli, to dive the wreck. Their dive as well as the use of an underwater drone to survey the ship, did not
produce any corroborating evidence, however. From there, Barnette met with Al Perkins, an avid diver who has been diving the Bear Wreck since the 1980’s. On these dives, Perkins had collected souvenirs, one of which, a valve that was made by Scott Valve Company
in Detroit, 12 miles from where the SS Cotopaxi was built in Ecorse, Michigan, perhaps an important piece to the puzzle.
Barnette then enlisted the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, a non-profit organization dedicated to researching and preserving the 500 year long maritime history of the region. Two of their
leading maritime archeologists Chuck Meide and Brendan Burke are experts in discovering, exploring and identifying wrecks in the area. Barnette and Meide then dove to measure the wreck to see how the data compared with the original layout of the SS Cotopaxi.
Everything they found was consistent with the original plans of the ship, such as the
basic layout and dimensions of the site, the length of the wreck, the position of the machinery and other diagnostic features such as the number and dimensions of the boilers.
Further research was able to corroborate the wreck’s location compared to where the distress signals were sent out, leading Barnette to come to no other conclusion, other than that the Bear Wreck is in
actuality the long-lost SS Cotopaxi.
SHIPWRECK SECRETS then visited with Douglas Myers in Long Island, NY, the grandson the SS Cotopaxi Captain William J. Myers where he was told that the ship had
after nearly a century been identified.
Among the other stories looked at in
SHIPWRECK SECRETS are the SS Justicia, a British ship sunk during World War I, that was torpedoed by a submarine near the notorious killing zone close to Malin’s Head, Ireland; the Ghost Ships of Chuuk Lagoon, Japan's main World War II base in the South
Pacific, but in 1944, American forces launched an attack and over a two day bombardment more than 60 Japanese Imperial Vessels ended up on the floor of the lagoon, partly in retribution for Pearl Harbor; the Lake Serpent, a 200-year-old schooner that lies
at the bottom of Lake Erie, which was an integral part of the north American trade route through the Great Lakes.
SHIPWRECK SECRETS is produced by Like a Shot Productions for Science Channel. Henry Scott is executive producer for Like a Shot. Neil Laird serves as executive producer for Science
Channel.
