Mystery of Bermuda Triangle: Why do planes disappear there?

in #life5 years ago (edited)

The Bermuda Triangle is a mythological stretch of the Atlantic Ocean that is roughly surrounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared. Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents, including the pilots of a squadron of US Navy bombers who were misled while flying in the area; And this plane was never found.

Many other boats and aircraft have also disappeared from the region in good weather, even without radio messages of distress. But although innumerable hypothetical theories have been proposed about the Bermuda Triangle, none of them have been able to prove why mysteriously such large ships and aircraft disappear more frequently in the region than elsewhere. . In fact, a lot of people pass through this area every day without some bad event.

Despite this, "Bermuda or Devil's Triangle" is a fictional area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States, known for a high incidence of unexplained damage to ships, small boats, and aircraft. Triangle headings are generally considered to be Bermuda, Miami, Florida and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The term "Bermuda Triangle" was first used in 1964 by Vincent H. Gaddis in an article written for the magazine Argosy. In the article, Gaddis claimed that many ships and aircraft had disappeared without explanation in this strange sea. Gaddis was not the first to come to this conclusion. In early 1952,

In 1969 John Wallace Spencer wrote a book called Limbo of the Lost, specifically about the triangle, and two years later, a feature documentary on the subject, The Devil's Triangle, was released. With the bestseller The Bermuda Triangle published in 1974, it permanently recorded the narrative of "Hoodoo Sea" within popular culture.

Why are ships and aircraft missing in this area? Some authors suggested that this may be due to a strange magnetic anomaly that affects compass readings (indeed some claim that Columbus mentioned this while traveling through the region in 1492). .

Others prove that a methane explosion from the sea level suddenly turns the sea into an inferno, which the ship does not recover and therefore sinks (although there is no evidence of such an event in the Triangle for the last 15,000 years is). Many books acknowledge that behind the disappearance in this way is an intelligent, technologically advanced breed that is living in space or under the sea.

Kusche’s Theory on Bermuda Triangle

In 1975, Larry Kusche, a librarian at Arizona State University, came to a completely different conclusion. Kusche decided to investigate the claims made by these articles and books. He published what he found under the title The Bermuda Triangle Mystery-Solved.

The record which Kush wrote deeply was ignored by other writers. He found that many strange accidents were not so strange. Often the writers of this triangle had mentioned that a ship or plane had disappeared into the "serene sea", while records showed that there was a severe storm at that time. Others said the ships had "mysteriously vanished", but the reason for their sinking was when their remains were actually found. In another case, a ship missing in the triangle actually disappeared in the Pacific Ocean, about 3,000 miles from the Bermuda Triangle! That author confused a ship of the same name off the Atlantic coast with the name of a ship that came out of the Pacific port.

More significantly, Lloyd's investigation of London's accident records by Fate's editor in 1975 showed that the Bermuda Triangle is no more dangerous than any other part. The US Coast Guard records confirmed this and since that time no good argument has been offered to refute those figures. Many argue that the Bermuda Triangle mystery has disappeared, in the same way that many of its victims disappeared.

Even though the Bermuda Triangle is not a true mystery, this area of ​​the sea is certainly part of a maritime tragedy. The region is one of the most heavily traveled regions of the ocean in the world. The route here is always busy with small boats and commercial vessels, as well as planes, military aircraft and private aircraft from here as well as the islands of Europe and South America and Africa and more distant ports. The weather in this region can also make travel dangerous. Storms occur in summer, while the warm waters of the Gulf Stream prompt a sudden storm. With this activity in a relatively small area, it is not surprising that a large number of accidents occur.

Stories commonly associated with the Bermuda Triangle

This area, referred to as the Bermuda Triangle or Devils Triangle, covers the ocean about 500,000 square miles from the southeastern tip of Florida. When Christopher Columbus sailed from the area on his first voyage to the New World, he reported that a large flame of fire (perhaps a meteor) appeared at sea one night and a strange light a few weeks later. He also wrote about uncertain compass readings, perhaps because a part of the Bermuda Triangle at that time was one of the few places on the Earth where the true north direction and magnetic north direction were lined.

Do you know? Having gained widespread fame as the first person to travel alone around the world, Joshua Slocum disappeared from Martha's Vineyard to South America in 1909. Although it is not clear what happened, several sources later attributed the Bermuda Triangle to his death.

Centuries before anyone had heard of Triangle, the island of Bermuda developed a reputation as a mysterious, dangerous place where ships faced a crisis. 1609 Pamphlet described the island as "the most eccentric and enchanted place, nothing but thunderstorms, hurricanes and unscrupulous weather" and even compared it to Scylla and Charybdis, in Homer's "The Odyssey" From the Aegean C demons mentioned.

Some have pointed to Bermuda as a possible model for the shipwreck depicted in William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest".

But it was not until 1964 that the idea of ​​the Bermuda Triangle being a mysteriously dangerous place came to the fore. When Argosy magazine published an article titled "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle", which reported the disappearance of ships and aircraft in the region, and likely an explanation of atmospheric aberration or magnetic disturbances as an explanation. .

The interest of the Bermuda Triangle continued to grow after the publication of "The Bermuda Triangle", Charles Berlitz and J.C. A book by Manson Valentine, which sold millions of copies.

In 1974 a documentary "The Devil's Triangle" was produced by the horror film star Vincent Price, which announced a $ 10,000 reward to any audience that would solve the mystery.

TV series such as Wonder Woman and Scooby Doo used the Bermuda Triangle as an episode to attract public attention, and Milton Bradley marketed the Bermuda Triangle game. In 1977, for the Triangle, Stephen Spielberg screened the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The band Fleetwood Mac also performed a 1974 song, "Bermuda Triangle", warning that "it may be a hole in the sea, or a fog that won't let go" that was causing it to disappear.
