the bermuda triangle.... know anything about it???

Answer 1

People have yet to decide the exact area they want to define as the bermuda triangle. some people try and fit every sinking or odd happening into 'the triangle' - hence, the triangle has been blamed for 'the marie celeste' mystery... even though this would mean the bermuda triangle would cover almost the entire north atlantic ocean.

In reality there will always be sinkings and losses which we will never know the cause of.

The geological properties of the area (the gulf stream,the meeting of two major areas of weather systems) makes for some odd weather and sea conditions, which can spring up in a very short time.
Flight 19 has been explained to the satisfaction of all but the most hardcore 'triangle' believer.

The best people to ask about the bermuda triangle are the miami coastguard. Every time that they have been approached on the subject they cite weather, currents and local conditions... they do not believe in any supernatural aspect to the area

Answer 3

I honestly believe there is something weird going on there. Scientist can make theories all they want but until i see it happend on a large scale naturally then i'' accept it.

It's not the number that dissapear its the way.

A ship was traveling along, when suddenly it found a ship that had appeared to be abandoned only a few hours ago. So they split up the group and half goes on the ship they found. They're traveling back when a fog comes down, and when the 2 ships come back together, the ship is abandoned again.

One captain is talking over radio, then suddenly he hears. "Quick help it feels like a dagger, then suddenly nothing...

A fisherman, everything goes haywire, five minutes later he's twenty miles from where he started..

This is only a few

Answer 4

Iceburgs rest at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle and with rising sea tempertures the ice melts and releases gases to the surface making the water less dense causing boats to sink. The gases may travel into the air, and into airplane engines, with causes them to malfunction and crash.

Answer 5

All that I know is that planes,Ships and all that disappear because The Bermuda Triangle is the most place with magnetism and it attracts to metal stuff.

Answer 6

Its a 'triangle' of area over one of the oceans (I forget which one) that has had several ships and planes disappear and never be found once they traveled over the area. Because radar loses touch with them. I've read recently that scientists believe that in this area this is a quick sand type ocean floor the has swallowed ships that have sunk and planes that have crashed in this area of the ocean. So thats why some missing boats and planes over the years have never been found.

The Bermuda Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle, also called the
Devil’s Triangle, is an imaginary area
that can be roughly outlined on a map
by connecting Miami, Florida; San Juan, Puerto
Rico; and the Bahamas, an island chain off
the coast of the United States. Within that
triangular area of the Atlantic Ocean have
occurred a number of unexplained disappearances
of boats and planes. Additionally, readings
on directional devices do not operate
normally inside the triangle.
Unusual events in that area date back in
recorded history to 1493 and the first voyage
of Christopher Columbus (1451–1506) to the
New World. In his log, Columbus noted that
his compass readings were askew within the
area now called the Bermuda Triangle, and he
and his crew were confused by shallow areas of
sea with no land nearby.
The term “Bermuda Triangle” was first
used in an article written by Vincent H. Gaddis
for Argosy magazine in 1964. Gaddis
claimed that several ships and planes had disappeared
without explanation in that area.
The article was expanded and included in his
book, Invisible Horizons: True Mysteries of the
Sea (1965), where he described nine mysterious
incidents and provided extensive detail.
Many newspapers carried a story in December
of 1967 about strange incidents in the Bermuda
Triangle after a National Geographic Society
news release brought attention to Gaddis’s
book. The triangle was featured in a cover
story in Argosy in 1968, in a book called
Limbo of the Lost (1969) by John Wallace
Spencer, and in a documentary film, The
Devil’s Triangle, in 1971. Charles Berlitz’s
1974 bestseller The Bermuda Triangle marked
the height of the disaster area legend, but
some of its sensationalized claims were quickly
proved inaccurate.
As early as 1952, George X. Sands had
noted in a report in Fate magazine that an
unusually large number of strange accidents
had occurred in the region associated with the
Bermuda Triangle. That many of the accidents
in the area are intriguing, and that the area
does have some natural conditions that sailors
and pilots need to be aware of, has not been
challenged. However, neither statistics nor
documented evidence indicates that the num-
ber of accidents is unusually high or without
explanation.
In March 1918, during World War I, the
USS Cyclops vanished in the Bermuda Triangle.
That ship may have been a casualty of war, but
the December 1945 disappearance of Flight 19,
a training squadron of five U.S. Navy torpedo
bombers, became the most notorious of disappearances
associated with the Bermuda Triangle.
The squadron left Fort Lauderdale, Florida,
with 14 crewmen and disappeared after radioing
in several distress messages. A seaplane sent
in search of the squadron also vanished. Those
two airplane disappearances were frequently
cited as the Bermuda Triangle legend grew during
the 1960s and 1970s.
Few of those stories included telling details.
All of the crewmen of Flight 19 were in training,
for example, except for their patrol leader,
who had tried to withdraw from his flight duty
that day because he was feeling ill. After his
compass malfunctioned soon into the flight,
the flight leader decided to navigate by landmarks
below on the islands of the Florida Keys,
with which he was familiar. Visibility became a
problem because of a sudden storm, and the
leader became disoriented. Flight 19 was still
in radio contact with the Fort Lauderdale air
base, but after some mechanical difficulties
they failed to switch to an emergency frequency.
Radio recordings indicate that some of the
crew believed they were heading out over the
Atlantic Ocean, instead of the Gulf of Mexico
as their leader reported.
A search plane took off and was claimed to
have disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle
with Flight 19. The plane actually blew up 23
seconds after takeoff. Wreckage from Flight 19
has never been recovered.
Other aircraft that have disappeared in the
area include a DC-3 carrying 27 passengers in
1948 and a C-124 Globemaster with 53 passengers
in 1951. Among the ships often listed
among the mysteriously disappeared are the
Mary Celeste (1872), the Marine tankership
Sulphur Queen with 39 men aboard (1963),
and the nuclear-powered submarine Scorpion
with a crew of 99 (1968). The Mary Celeste
entered the list of supposed Bermuda Triangle
mysteries many decades after its odd tragedy.
The ship set sail from New York to Genoa,
Italy, but was found sailing unmanned some
400 miles off course, off the coast of Africa.
Personal articles of the crew were found and
food storage areas showed no sign of upheaval.
A tattered sail and a missing lifeboat suggested
the boat had encountered a storm, but the
ship’s log, in which information was recorded
as late as nine days before the ship was found,
made no mention of any kind of catastrophe.
There is no evidence, however, that the
Mary Celeste ever entered the area of the
Bermuda Triangle. Still, the eerie, unanswered
questions concerning its fate are often cited by
those who attribute a malevolent force as
being responsible for odd and tragic events of
the triangle.
Nevertheless, there are many documented
disappearances that occurred within the triangle.
They include a four-engine Tudor IV airplane
lost in 1948, with 31 aboard; an American
freighter, the SS Sandra (1952), which
sunk without a trace; a British York transport
plane, disappeared in 1952, with 33 aboard; a
U.S. Navy Lockheed Constellation airplane,
vanished in 1954 with 42 aboard; a U.S. Navy
seaplane, 1956, with a crew of 10; a French
freighter in 1970; and a German freighter,
Anita, lost in 1972 with a crew of 32.
Theories about why so many air and water
ships disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle
involve strange magnetic fields, time warps,
the lost continent of Atlantis, and alien
abduction. Other proposed explanations
include physical forces unknown to science, a
“hole in the sky,” and an unusual chemical
component in the region’s seawater. Several
books have suggested that an intelligent, technologically
advanced race living in space or
under the sea has been responsible for jamming
equipment and leading ships and planes
to disaster.
Many books and articles play up mystery
angles concerning vanished ships by depicting
the disappearances as having occurred in calm
weather and daylight. Such particulars of
Flight 19 as an inexperienced crew, a faulty
compass, a squadron leader who failed to follow
instructions, and conditions of deteriorating
weather and visibility are often not mentioned.
Larry Kusche, a librarian at Arizona
State University, examined claims of mysterious
disappearances and recorded evidence
from each example. The results, published in
The Bermuda Triangle—Mystery Solved,
showed that many of the accidents happened
during raging storms, or were later explained.
The area known as the Bermuda Triangle
is one of the two places on Earth where a magnetic
compass does point towards true north, a
phenomenon called compass variation. Navigators
must compensate the amount of variation
or the craft they are on will go off course.
A region commonly called the “Devil’s Sea”
in the Pacific Ocean is the other area of compass
variation.
The Gulf Stream that runs through the
Bermuda Triangle area is swift and turbulent,
and can quickly erase evidence of a disaster.
The unpredictable Caribbean-Atlantic weather
can suddenly change into thunderstorms or
create waterspouts. Many short and intense
storms build up quickly and dissipate quickly,
undetected by satellite surveillance. The ocean
floor has shoals around islands as well as some
of the deepest marine trenches in the world.
The interaction of the strong currents over
reefs promotes a constant flux and the development
of new, uncharted navigational hazards.
These factors can confuse even experienced
sailors. A large number of pleasure boats
travel the waters between Florida’s coast and
the Bahamas. The U.S. Coast Guard receives
more than 8,000 distress calls per year, averaging
more than 20 per day from that area, often
from sailors who have run out of gas.
The Bermuda Triangle claimed more than
1,000 lives during the twentieth century. That
averages to about 10 per year, a figure similar
to other areas of high water traffic or volatile
natural conditions. Scientific evaluations of
the Bermuda Triangle have concluded that
the number of disappearances in the region is
not abnormal and that most of the disappearances
have logical explanations. Paranormal
associations with the Bermuda Triangle persist,
however, in the popular imagination.

Answer 8

a lot of things diappear in bermuda triangle

Answer 9

It's a bunch of nonsense.

There are no more things that go missing there than you would expect from any other large patch of ocean that gets storms a lot.

Answer 10

There is a lot more myth than reality to it. The web is full of bits and pieces.
