what is bermuda triangle?why the aeroplanes&ships are falling in it?

Answer 1

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean which has been made infamous for the many people, aircraft, and surface vessels noted to have disappeared within its bounds. Many of these disappearances involve a level of mystery which are often popularly explained by a variety of theories beyond human error or acts of nature, often involving the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings. An abundance of documentation for most incidents suggests that the Bermuda Triangle is a mere legend built upon half-truths and tall tales from individuals who sailed the area, then later embellished on by professional writers.

History of the Triangle Story

Christopher Columbus was the first person to document something strange in the Triangle, reporting that he and his crew observed "strange dancing lights on the horizon." On another occasion they observed what was most likely a falling meteor. At another point he wrote in his log about bizarre compass bearings in the area. Modern scholars checking the original log books have surmised that the lights he saw were the cooking fires of Taino natives in their canoes; the compass problems were the result of a false reading based on the movement of a star.

The first article of any kind in which the legend of the Triangle began appeared in the April 1962 issue of American Legion Magazine. The article was titled "The Lost Patrol," by Allen W. Eckert, about the loss of Flight 19, a group of five U.S. Navy TBM Avenger bombers on a training mission. In the story, picked up by various authors since, it was claimed that the flight leader had been heard saying "We are entering white water, nothing seems right. We don't know where we are, the water is green, no white." It was also claimed that officials at the Navy board of inquiry stated that the planes "flew off to Mars." "The Lost Patrol" was the first to connect the supernatural to Flight 19, but it would take another author, Vincent Gaddis, writing in the February 1964 Argosy Magazine to put Flight 19 together with other mysterious disappearances, coin a new catchy name, and call the whole "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle"; he would build on that article with a more detailed book, Invisible Horizons the next year. Others would follow with their own works: John Wallace Spencer (Limbo of the Lost, 1969); Charles Berlitz (The Bermuda Triangle, 1974); Richard Winer (The Devil's Triangle, 1974), and many others, all keeping to some of the same supernatural elements outlined by Eckert.

Answer 2

So I saw a show a few weeks back on the Discovery Channel that tried to explain the Bermuda Triangle. It is a magnetic anomaly, but it is also one of the most active spots as far as ocean's go. "The Triangle's location in the Caribbean makes it subject to unpredictable weather patterns. This takes us to Earth changes and the excalation of intense hurricanes in 2005 with more to come in the years ahead. These weather extremes prey on inexperienced navigators and smaller boats and planes. Water spouts, sudden electrical and thunder storms, and the like, can cause havoc in the area. The Gulf Stream can also be brutal in that region and perhaps has swept away evidence of natural disasters. "

No one can actually prove that the airplanes just randomly fell into the ocean...they don't know if the airplane crashed or were destroyed. Were the pilots terribly disoriented in the thick white fog? I mean so many factors have to be taken into account. But like many places on earth, nature is much stronger than people will ever be. Just like faults are placed all over the earth, the way in which the earth was created caused the Bermuda Trangle. We are living on a planet that has its own ocean currents and weather patterns designed by gravity and other forces. I'm sure the conditions worse than the Bermuda Triangle existed during the age of the dinosaurs. But, this just proves that we as Humans cannot say for sure, why the events and mysteries occur there. We may never know.
Normally, very experienced pilots and boaters do not venture out into dangerous or unchartered territory.

Answer 3

In 1981 a geochemist by the name of Richard McIver introduced his theory of the role methane gas hydrate plays in the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. His theory was that to the North of the Bermuda Triangle huge landslides occur on the continental shelf, which results in large stones and sludge falling rapidly to the sea floor and ultimately rupturing the sea floor which covers a layer of gas hydrate. When the seafloor is ruptured the hydrate is released rapidly as well as methane within the hydrate causing a huge surge of gas which erupts from the surface of the water with no warning. When this happens any ship, airplane, or boat within the vicinity will be in immediate peril because the water and air no longer have the same density, causing the vessels to sink rapidly and lie to rest covered by sludge on the floor of the ocean.

While this is a somewhat viable theory, most people prefer to believe in something more extraordinary that happens in the Bermuda Triangle. Because of its triangular shape and strange events many individuals believe it is a portal to another world, outer space, or even the Lost City of Atlantis. Also, people claim to have an unusual feeling when they are in the Bermuda Triangle, as if something is calling to them from another place and time. Many claim there is something strange about the Triangle because it is the only place on earth where the compass points true north. There are no definitive answers as to which theory is the truth behind the Bermuda Triangle, or if the extraordinary Bermuda Triangle is simply a myth that has been created over the years.

Answer 4

it's a triangle bounded by bermuda, puerto rico, and the tip of florida, and many tales involving disappearances of ships and planes are told about it, as well as interference with electrical devices... why actually this happens if it really does people don't know, but some hypotheses have been presented, such as fluctuations in the magnetic field, which would alter the functioning of electric devices. another one is that trapped methane gas is freed and rises from teh bottom of the ocean into the atmosphere, which would sink ships if surrounded by methane, and cause plane engines to explode

Answer 5

It's an area in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the carolinas down to florida. There are a lot of theories, the most scientific one involves large deposits of methane beneath the ocean in that area. As the gas bubbles up, it decreases the bouyancy of boats, causing them to sink. When the gas reaches the air, it is capable of stalling piston engines even at very low concentrations.
