Exploring The Bermuda Triangle

Bermuda Triangle: A Mystery Made Known

So looking for the facts about the mystery of The Bermuda Triangle?? Over 100 airplane disappearances and over 1000 lives lost since 1945. And all these happen when apparently there are no human errors, equipment failures or even natural disasters. Strangely, the ships and planes just vanish when everything seems to be okay. It is one of the biggest mysteries of our time – that perhaps isn’t’ really a mystery.

The Bermuda Triangle (sometimes referred as the Devil’s triangle) is a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean bordered by a line from Florida to the islands of Bermuda, to Puerto Rico and then back to Florida. Many believe that Devil is at play here and therefore call the area also as Devil’s Triangle. Many theories have been given to explain the extraordinary mystery of these missing ships and planes. Evil extraterrestrials, residue crystals from Atlantis, evil humans with anti-gravity devices or other weird technologies, and vile vortices from the fourth dimension are favorites among fantasy writers. Weather (thunderstorms, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, high waves, currents, etc.) bad luck, pirates, explosive cargoes, incompetent navigators, and other natural and human causes are favorites among skeptical investigators.

Lost Planes & Ships in Bermuda Triangle 

Here are some of the most amazing stories of planes and ships that disappeared while crossing the triangle area. 
                                               

Flight 19: The Avenger planes of Flight-19 took off from the U.S Naval Base of Florida for a routine training session, but never returned.  

PBM Martin Mariner: When the hopes for Flight-19 were quickly fading, two Martin Mariner planes were sent by US Navy to search them out. One came back, but strangely the other didn't.

Tudor Star Tiger: Star Tiger, a Tudor Mark-IV aircraft disappeared in Bermuda Triangle shortly before it was about to land at the Bermuda airport. 

Fight DC-3:The flight DC-3 NC16002 disappeared when it was only 50 miles south of Florida and about to land in Miami. 

Flight 441: The flight 441, a Super Constellation Naval Airliner disappeared in October 1954. 

C-54 Skymaster:Apparently it seemed to be a sudden thunderstorm that had disintegrated the plane. But there was much more to the story. 

Mary Celeste - The Ghost Ship: Known as one of the ghost ships of Bermuda Triangle, Mary Celeste had many misadventures even before her mystery voyage in 1872.

Marine Sulphur Queen: This 524-foot carrier of molten sulphur started sail on Feb 2, 1963 from Beaumont, Texas with 39 crew. It was reported lost in Florida Straits on February 4. 

Ellen Austin: The Ellen Austin, an American schooner, met with another ship in Bermuda Triangle. The other ship that was moving in full speed strangely had nobody on board.

USS Scorpion: USS Scorpion (SSN-589) was a nuclear powered submarine of United States Navy that disappeared in Bermuda Triangle area in May 1968.

Some theories about Bermuda Triangle solving the mystery

·         METHANE GAS

Computer studies of ocean floors around the world, particularly the area known as The Bermuda Triangle, reveal evidence of massive methane explosions in the past. The presence of methane hydrates indicates enormous eruptions of methane bubbles that would swamp a ship, and projected high into the air- take out flying airplanes, as well.Any ships caught within the methane mega-bubble immediately lose all buoyancy and sink to the bottom of the ocean. If the bubbles are big enough and possess a high enough density they can also knock aircraft out of the sky with little or no warning. Aircraft falling victim to these methane bubbles will lose their engines-perhaps igniting the methane surrounding them-and immediately lose their lift as well, ending their flights by diving into the ocean and swiftly plummeting.

·         ELECTRONIC FOG

It has been heard several times that ships and aircraft get engulfed in some kind of electronic fog and the fog keeps moving along with the ship or the plane. And eventually, all the electronic equipment and other instruments start malfunctioning. Then the ships and airplanes either disintegrate or disappear without a trace. 

                                          Some Facts About Bermuda Triangle

1) The Bermuda Triangle is not actually a triangle in fact it doesn't even have a definite shape it never has had an official boundary.
 
2) The Bermuda Triangle has supposedly been responsible for more than over 66 planes and ships.

3) The Bermuda Triangle has not sucked in all the ships and planes that come near it or over it only a few of them.

4)While it has become part of popular culture to link the Bermuda
Triangle to paranormal activity, most investigations indicate bad
weather and human error are the more likely culprits.

5)While its reputation may scare some people, the Bermuda
Triangle is actually part of a regularly sailed shipping lane with
cruise ships and other boats also frequently sailing through the area.

 In short, the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle became a mystery by a kind of communal reinforcement among uncritical authors and a willing mass media to uncritically pass on the speculation that something mysterious is going on in the Atlantic.
