The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle

Ever wonder why all planes and ships mysteriously disappeared at the Bermuda Triangle region? In my ENG101 research paper, I found some information on it and I shall share it with all my loyal readers =)

The U.S. Board of Geographic does not assume the name Bermuda Triangle as an official name. It is an imaginary region located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States, which is noted for a high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats, and aircraft.



One of the most popular stories is the strange disappearance of Flight 19. On the faithful day of December 5th, 1945, five planes flew across the Bermuda - also known as Devil's Triangle. There were approximately 14 men on the planes, but none of them returned home. One of the pilots were heard on his radio right before they disappeared, he was saying that their compasses had stopped working, and they had no idea where they were. Nobody ever found their bodies or the parts of the planes. Strange huh? The planes of men were flew off there to seek for the disappeared Flight 19 did not return either. After that, the legend of the Bermuda Triangle has begun.



There were also many strange stories. According to a source, there were approximately more than 50 ships and 20 planes has mysteriously disappeared in the last 100 years. The mystery grew and grew.

There were a lot of natural explanations from different sources. According to a source, it was said that the weather in the Atlantic is very unpredictable, too many sudden storms. On the other hand, the ocean suddenly became incredibly deep. Often owners of the ships do not know the dangers there themselves.

There were also sayings that many disappearance occurred outside the region of the Bermuda Triangle. And the number of disappearance for a humongous area like Bermuda Triangle is not surprising.

But what about Flight 19?

There may be storms, the plane did not have the modern equipments, they could have went out of fuel and crashed somewhere in the ocean. Just a possibility. Another result I have found somewhere, the number of disappearance were not greater, it was just simply exaggerated by some source (Kusche, Lawrence David, 1975). According to Prof Joseph Monaghan from Monash University in Australia, pockets of methane gas, also known as methane gas hydrates, is under the Bermuda Triangle region. When it is being distracted by planes or boats or ships, it would blow up. The release of methane gas, would also cause the ships or planes to sink.

However, for some reasons, there will always be a mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.
