THE MYSTERY OF THE BERMUDA
TRIANGLE
The Bermuda triangle, also known as the
Devil’s Triangle, happens to be one of
the most mysterious places on this
planet. Located off the Southeastern
coast of the US in the Atlantic Ocean,
between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico,
the region has become the Centre of
unresolved mysteries.
Covering an area of 440,000 miles of sea,
Bermuda triangle is part of a busy
shipping route in the world, with a
number of vessels heading to America,
Europe and the Caribbean crossing through
every day.
It is more due to the inexplicable
outcomes that make it a highly studied
and yet enigmatic component of the
earth’s surface. Over the centuries, a
large number of ships and planes have
been reported to have mysteriously
disappeared in the region.
Also, this Devil’s Triangle has been
blamed for the disappearance of thousands
of people in the past decades.
Here are a few stories of the survivors
of the Bermuda triangle.
The stories around the Bermuda triangle
began in the time of Christopher Columbus
when he reportedly saw a flame of fire
crashing into the sea in the triangle
during his first voyage to the New World.
However, the mysterious behaviour of the
region came into the public attention
only in the 20th century when the Navy
cargo ship, USS Cyclops, with more than
300 people on board, went missing in the
Bermuda triangle. The latest such
incident in the region is the
disappearance of a small twin-engine
plane in May this year.
The plane, with four people on board,
suddenly disappeared from the radar when
it was flying from Puerto Rico to
Florida, and the debris appeared to be
from the missing plane.
The recent incident that involved a ship
was the sinking of a cargo vessel in the
Bermuda Triangle during a deadly
hurricane in October 2015.
As the accidents, often mysterious,
continue to happen in the Bermuda
Triangle region, many have offered a
number of explanations for the mystery
behind them.
The role of paranormal activities and the
presence of aliens have been strongly
suggested by those who believe something
odd is happening, while many with
scientific view disputed this argument
offering rational explanations to the
phenomenon.
We still don’t know what is the actual
reason behind all of this but for now we
can just think of paranormal activities
or huge gravitational pull.
Now a few facts-
1. The Milwaukee depth is the deepest
point in the Atlantic ocean situated
in the bermuda triangle with a depth
of 27493 ft.
2. It is one of the most travelled
shipping lanes on earth.
