There is a famous Bermuda Triangle on the east coast of the state of Florida in the United States of America. This Bermuda Triangle is a place where ships go. It is an area known for strange plane disappearances.
It is said that ships passing through the Bermuda Triangle suddenly disappear without any reason. Similarly, the planes flying through this triangle suddenly disappeared from the radar and disappeared without being found.
Due to these strange disappearances, there have been various talks about the Bermuda Triangle. These conversations Concepts include the capture of past souls, alien abductions, and being lost in another dimension.
It is not for nothing that these various ideas have emerged. The unsolved disappearances of ships and planes in the Bermuda Triangle really did happen.
For example, a group of US Navy bombers mysteriously disappeared while flying over this area. These planes have not yet been found.
Other cruise ships and yachts have also been completely submerged in good weather.
Although there are such disappearances, experts say that such disappearances do not happen in one area of the Bermuda Triangle but are a regular occurrence in the world’s oceans and seas.
In fact, the rate of disappearances in the Bermuda region is no different than the rate of disappearances at sea in other parts of the world.
In fact, Bermuda is one of the most heavily traveled areas in the world. In this area, seagoing passenger ships—not only cargo ships but also many small cruise ships—pass by every day. Almost all of these boats reach their destinations safely every day without any accidents.
The Legend of the Bermuda Triangle
So how did the Bermuda Triangle legend begin?
The first westerner to pass through this region was Christopher Columbus, who discovered the Americas.
According to his account, while passing through this sea, a huge flame fell from the night sky into the sea. A few weeks later, strange lights were recorded as being seen in the distance.
In addition, Christopher Columbus recorded the chaos of magnetic compasses while passing through this sea.
Scholars say that famous English playwright William Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest” was based on the true story of a shipwreck in the Bermuda Triangle.
Joshua Slocum, who became famous after sailing solo around the world in 1909, was lost in the Bermuda Triangle.
But the event that really made the Bermuda Triangle famous was the disappearance of the USS Cyclops in March 1918.
The ship was a cargo ship owned by the US Navy and was carrying more than 300 crew and passengers and more than 10,000 tons of magnesium ore when the incident occurred. This ship sank while passing through the Bermuda Triangle.
During the sinking of this ship, there was a wireless communication device on the ship, but the SOS signal was not transmitted at all. They tried to search for the ship, but no wreckage was found.
Regarding this process, American President Woodrow Wilson commented, “Only God and the sea know what happened to the great ship.”
In 1941, two sister ships of the USS Cyclops (sister ships refer to ships of the same type) mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
So the ships passing through the Bermuda Triangle suddenly disappeared, or there are no more people, and only the big ship is seen floating continuously.
In December 1945, five Navy bombers carrying 14 crew members took off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Their goal was to practice bombing off the coast.
But the leader of this group of planes, the plane’s magnetic compass, is wrong. So these five planes are stuck in the sea, unable to return to the field. Finally, they ran out of fuel and dived into the sea.
On the same day, a rescue plane and 13 crew members went missing.
After several weeks of detailed searching, no trace of the wreckage was found. At the time, the Navy’s official report even commented that they disappeared “as if they had flown to Mars.”
Theories about the Bermuda Triangle
The name Bermuda Triangle was given in 1964 by writer Vincent Gaddis in a magazine article. During this time, there have been many more strange disappearances.
Among these disappearances were the three planes that went missing after the “all is well” report.
After that, a lot of imaginary theories about the Bermuda Triangle appeared. Among these theories are that aliens captured The mythical lost island of Atlantis. From underwater creatures to anti-gravity and time machines.
Some scientists believe that magnetic field defects, vortex theories, and undersea methane gas explosion theories have been presented. However, no empirical evidence has been found to support these theories.
A number of these theories have emerged, but none of them has been able to provide a satisfactory answer to the disappearances. Those who point out that finding a common cause for all disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle is like saying that all car crashes have a common cause
Despite these strange disappearances, Lloyds Insurance Company, a major ship insurance company, does not consider the Bermuda Triangle a high-risk area.
The United States Coast Guard has not designated the Bermuda Triangle as a danger zone.
Also, when we compare the number of ships passing through this area with the number of disappearances, we can see that there is no significant difference with the disappearances in other areas.
Human mind?
Perhaps the real answer to the Bermuda Triangle lies in human emotions. Our minds are more interested in strange events. They tend to think about it. At the same time, it is difficult to understand and accept the explanation of these processes with statistics.
For example, a ship that sinks in a storm is more memorable than a ship that is lost in good weather for no reason.
If such a special event happens, future events will be regarded as such special events. In this way, the emotional concept that these extraordinary events happen often is formed.
Regarding the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, no evidence has yet been found to suggest that this area is more dangerous than any other area of the sea, for whatever reason.
