Bermuda Triangle ??

Question

Can someone please tell me the History of the Bermuda Triangle . Also can you leave a few websites 4 me to look at ? Thx to yall out there

Answer 1

its one of the most haunted places in the world because ships and planes have gone down without a distress signal and no survivors.

Answer 2

This is a modern superstitious legend about a supposedly cursed place where ships and airplanes disappear , in the area bounded by Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, I think.

It's a myth. Nothing more mysterious happens there, than anywhere else, but Lloyd's of London has hundreds of supposed cases of ship disappearances, all of which go back a few hundred years, and all of which have logical and reasonable explanations.

Answer 3

The Bermuda triangle is not a myth. There might be a perfectly rational explaination why ships and planes go missing in it, but they do disappear, it isn't some fairytale.
The corners of the triangle differ depending on who you ask, but they are usually considered to be Bermuda, Miami and Barbados.
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", flames in the sky, and he wrote in his log about bizarre compass bearings in the area. From his log book, dated October 11, 1492 he wrote:
"The land was first seen by a sailor called Rodrigo de Triana, although the Admiral at ten o'clock that evening standing on the quarter-deck saw a light, but so small a body that he could not affirm it to be land; calling to Pero Gutierrez, groom of the King's wardrobe, he told him he saw a light, and bid him look that way, which he did and saw it; he did the same to Rodrigo Sanchez of Segovia, whom the King and Queen had sent with the squadron as comptroller, but he was unable to see it from his situation. The Admiral again perceived it once or twice, appearing like the light of a wax candle moving up and down, which some thought an indication of land. But the Admiral held it for certain that land was near..."
Modern scholars checking the original log books think that the lights he saw were the cooking fires of Taino natives on the beach; the compass problems were the result of a false reading based on the movement of a star. The flames in the sky were falling meteors, which are easily seen while at sea.
The first article of any kind in which the legend of the Triangle began appeared in newspapers by E.V.W. Jones on September 16, 1950, through the Associated Press. Two years later, Fate magazine published "Sea Mystery At Our Back Door", a short article by George X. Sand in the October 1952 issue covering the loss of several planes and ships, including the loss of Flight 19, a group of five U.S. Navy TBM Avenger bombers on a training mission. Sand's article was the first to lay out the now-familiar triangular area where the losses took place. Flight 19 alone would be covered in the April 1962 issue of American Legion Magazine. The article was titled "The Lost Patrol", by Allen W. Eckert, and in his story 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 take Flight 19 together with other mysterious disappearances and place it under the umbrella of a new catchy name: "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.
Most of the wrecked planes and ships that go missing have never been found. Some, like the Mary Celeste, have been found in perfect condition, minus their crew and passengers. Wrecks from crashes under normal circumstances in the triangle have, but not under the strange conditions that gave the triangle its reputation. Everything would seem normal - the plane/ship would show up on radar, compasses pointed north and the pilot was communicating via the radio with the airport. Then suddenly, the plane/ship would disappear off the radar and radio communications would be cut off, with no sign from the pilot that anything had gone wrong, no SOS or mayday. The plane/ship, its passengers and its crew would never be seen again.
But out of the thousands of ships/planes that pass through the triangle every day, only a few hundred have gone missing this way. Theonly reason that you hear about the triangle is because it is the area that the most ships/planes go missing.

Here are some explanations for disappearances, some a little more believable than others...
Gas coming up from the sea bed and "swallowing" ships/planes
Human error - they get lost because someone misread the compass, etc
Hurricanes
The Gulf Stream, which passes through the triangle, carrying ships and crashed planes away
Deliberate destruction - terrorism etc
Atlantis - left-over technology from Atlantis, for example, a death ray. Reputed psychic Edgar Cayce claimed that evidence for Atlantis would be discovered just off Bimini in 1968. New Agers view the Bimini Road as either a road, wall, or pier meant to service ships bound for Atlantis from Central and South America, or a breakwater built to protect fishing boats. The wall may also have a natural origin.
UFOs
Portal to another dimension/time
Freak waves

Answer 4

Google it, but use discretion when finding answers. There is a bunch of superstition caused by people not understanding that because this area is one of the most traveled in the world, and many times by amateurs, there are many disappearances and accidents. If 500 amateur pilots fly over water between islands, some might disappear with no explanation. This is not spooky - it is expected.
