Bermuda Triangle, Mystery Unsolved
The Bermuda triangle is more of a mystery
than a myth. In fact, it is one of the greatest mysteries the world has ever witnessed. There are many stories as to what happened in that spot of the earth, and what the reasons behind them are
This story actually became popular in 1950 when a journalist in a newspaper wrote about this
mysterious triangle in the ocean
that has some weird activity. In 1952, it started catching more eyes when
another journalist wrote about Flight 19, one of the most famous disappearances
in this area.
According to the story, in 1945 a navy team went on their trip, what
they thought would be normal, however 1 hour and 45 minutes later, the plane called
control that all of their 3 compasses went haywire and that they don't know
where the "west" is anymore. Shortly after, the plane disappeared off
the record, never to appear again. Funnily enough, another plane took off in
search and rescue of said flight, but they too disappeared and has never been
found.
Another incident happened before, in 1918
to ship USS Cyclopes with 306 crew members on board. This ship too disappeared
without a trace, no rescue calls, no bodies, no ship wreckage, nothing. It vanished
into thin air, and is now considered the biggest loss in US Navy, numbers wise.
Several ships and planes have been met with the same fate as well, never to be
found again, rising the number of disappearances in the area to more than 1000.
This weird activity of the Bermuda Triangle
is by no means new. It has been dated back to Christopher Columbus in 1492
while discovering America. According to his journal, the compass of the ship
went crazy near the triangle, stressing everyone on the ship.
The
Bermuda triangle is located in the North Atlantic ocean between Florida, Puerto Rico and Bermuda (hence the
name), with a space of about 5000 square miles. It is an area known for its wierd geographical activity, said to be the main source of most storms and hurricanes in the area. There are multiple theories stating
that there is some sort of electromagnetic field lying under the water,
resulting in such occurrences. Others state that the Bermuda Triangle lies
around the same area in which Atlantis city has disappeared thousands of years
ago, leaving behind some of its high
technology leading to this abnormal
activity.
