does any 1 believe in the burmuda triangle?

Question

i think that if you go a certain area that you'll go into another dimension so am i crazy or is it real i seen it in the discovery channel

Answer 1

yes i believe in it. I have somehow read in a book' Read amd think and think" about the bermuda triangle, but somehow some try to explain it scientifically or naturally. Some say that the writers made it sensational without enough source of information when they made some writings like when they reported that some people were missing but actually the coastguards found the people and the captain in the cabi, sort of like that. But i have here something for you to read and decide whether you believe on it or not.
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region of the Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared in what are said to be circumstances that fall beyond the boundaries of human error or acts of nature. Some of these disappearances have been attributed to the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings by popular culture. Although a substantial documentation exists showing numerous incidents to have been inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, several others remain unexplained.

The Triangle area
The area of the Triangle varies by author.The boundaries of the Triangle vary with the author; some stating its shape is akin to a trapezium covering the Straits of Florida, the Bahamas, and the entire Caribbean island area east to the Azores; others add to it the Gulf of Mexico. The more familiar, triangular boundary in most written works has as its points Miami, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda, with most of the accidents concentrated along the southern boundary around the Bahamas and the Florida Straits.

The area is one of the most heavily-sailed shipping lanes in the world, with ships crossing through it daily for ports in the Americas and Europe, as well as the Caribbean Islands. Cruise ships are also plentiful, and pleasure craft regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands. It is also a heavily flown route for commercial and private aircraft heading towards Florida, the Caribbean, and South America from points north.

The Gulf Stream ocean current flows through the Triangle after leaving the Gulf of Mexico; its current of five to six knots may have played a part in a number of disappearances. Sudden storms can and do appear, and in the summer to late fall the occasional hurricane strikes the area. The combination of heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather makes it inevitable that vessels could founder in storms and be lost without a trace — especially before improved telecommunications, radar, and satellite technology arrived late in the 20th century.


[edit] History of the Triangle story
According to the Triangle authors, 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 at another point 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 (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 Gutiérrez, 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 Sánchez 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 have surmised that the lights he saw were the cooking fires of Taino natives in their canoes or 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 undoubtedly falling meteors, which are easily seen while at sea.[3]

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" [4]; 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.[

Kusche's explanation
Lawrence David Kusche, a research librarian from Arizona State University and author of The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved (1975) has challenged this trend. Kusche's research revealed a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies between Berlitz's accounts and statements from eyewitnesses, participants, and others involved in the initial incidents. He noted cases where pertinent information went unreported, such as the disappearance of round-the-world yachtsman Donald Crowhurst, which Berlitz had presented as a mystery, despite clear evidence to the contrary. Another example was the ore-carrier Berlitz recounted as lost without trace three days out of an Atlantic port when it had been lost three days out of a port with the same name in the Pacific Ocean. Kusche also argued that a large percentage of the incidents which have sparked the Triangle's mysterious influence actually occurred well outside it. Often his research was surprisingly simple: he would go over period newspapers and see items like weather reports that were never mentioned in the stories.

Kusche came to several conclusions:

The number of ships and aircraft reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than in any other part of the ocean.
In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur were, for the most part, neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious; furthermore, Berlitz and other writers would often fail to mention such storms.
The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat listed as missing would be reported, but its eventual (if belated) return to port may not be reported.
Some disappearances had in fact, never happened. One plane crash was said to have taken place in 1937 off Daytona Beach, Florida, in front of hundreds of witnesses; a check of the local papers revealed nothing.
Kusche concluded that:

"The Legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery... perpetuated by writers who either purposely or unknowingly made use of misconceptions, faulty reasoning, and sensationalism." (Epilogue, p. 277)
In recent years, however, several authors, most notably Gian J. Quasar, have raised several questions as to the veracity of Kusche's findings, including, but not limited to, why Kusche so often brought up as evidence for his claims cases that were already well-known before the writing of his work as not being Triangle incidents; his misidentification and mislocation of several ship and aircraft incidents that are well-documented, but then using that inability to properly identify the craft as "proof" that they never existed; and in other examples openly claiming possibilities for foul weather for certain disappearances where it can be verified that none existed.[6]

Famous incidents
US Navy TBF Grumman Avenger flight, similar to Flight 19. This photo had been used by various Triangle authors to illustrate Flight 19 itself. (US Navy)Main article: Flight 19
Flight 19 was a training flight of TBM Avenger bombers that went missing on December 5, 1945 while over the Atlantic. The impression is given that the flight encountered unusual phenomena and anomalous compass readings, and that the flight took place on a calm day under the leadership of an experienced pilot, Lt. Charles Carroll Taylor. Adding to the intrigue is that the Navy's report of the accident was ascribed to "causes or reasons unknown." It is believed that Charles Taylor's mother wanted to save Charles's reputation, so she made them write "reasons unknown" when actually Charles was 50 km NW from where he thought he was. [17]

While the basic facts of this version of the story are essentially accurate, some important details are missing. The weather was becoming stormy by the end of the incident; only Lt. Taylor had any significant flying time, but he was not familiar with the south Florida area and had a history of getting lost in flight, having done so three times during World War II, and being forced to ditch his planes twice into the water; and naval reports and written recordings of the conversations between Lt. Taylor and the other pilots of Flight 19 do not indicate magnetic problems. [17]

Mary Celeste
The mysterious abandonment in 1872 of the Mary Celeste is often but inaccurately connected to the Triangle, the ship having been abandoned off the coast of Portugal. Many theories have been put forth over the years to explain the abandonment, including alcohol fumes from the cargo and insurance fraud. The event is possibly confused with the sinking of a ship with a similar name, the Mari Celeste, off the coast of Bermuda on September 13, 1864, which is mentioned in the book Bermuda Shipwrecks by Dan Berg.

Ellen Austin
The Ellen Austin supposedly came across an abandoned derelict, placed on board a prize crew, and attempted to sail with it to New York in 1881. According to the stories, the derelict disappeared; others elaborating further that the derelict reappeared minus the prize crew, then disappeared again with a second prize crew on board. A check of Lloyd's of London records proved the existence of the Meta, built in 1854; in 1880 the Meta was renamed Ellen Austin. There are no casualty listings for this vessel, or any vessel at that time, that would suggest a large number of missing men placed on board a derelict which later disappeared.

Answer 2

If you are one who believes everything seen on the Discovery Channel is true, you will probably believe that the Bermuda Triangle is a particular location full of evil alien or demonic spirits out to get whomever is unfortnate enough to enter it.
The general area commonly known as the Bermuda Triangle is an immense area of Atlantic Ocean off of the East coast of the USA which is filled with all kinds of foreign and domestic traffic, mostly commercial and some military. There is shipping and air travel for business and recreation, both legitimate and illegitimate. Also it is a vast area filled with great variation of weather patterns and ocean currents. Given a few unexplained incidents, some going back sixty years and the proclivity of story tellers to spin a yarn to make a buck, it is good business to milk the Triangle for all it is worth, both truthfully and fancifully. Discovery Channel, History Channel, the Church of the National Geographic, and TV in general is not in the truth business. They are in the business of making money off of advertisers. They will put on whatever they can get away with to entice those viewer ratings up so that they can charge more for commercials. Copulating animals in Africa, some idiots denying the Moon landings , lying religious stories, bug-eyed little green thingies from Roswell ,New Mexico and The Bermuda Triangle all fit the bill nicely. P.T Barnam would have just loved the Bermuda Triangle if he could have charged his suckers admission to it.

Answer 3

at first its BERMUDA. You do have a spelling checker. Do us all a want and use the element. Its not confusing. particularly. Secondly the region itself has by no skill been defined precisely some disappearances claimed got here approximately in components a techniques from any rational association with the section. like the Pacific Ocean. Thirdly comments on the subject of the triangle disappearances are in basic terms approximately universally in line with FIRST money owed. Newspapers will joyfully print sensationalist thoughts approximately ships being got here across afloat with the crews lacking. great tale. It sells newspapers. Later while it is got here upon that the ships lines grew to alter into untied and the boat floated faraway from a dock, the story, if it appears that evidently in the time of any respect, would be buried interior the lower back pages. no one likes to be proved silly. Its the character of the information employer. each and every physique will bear in mind the 1st money owed. And any mess ups, in spite of information, are continuously extra to the legend, a minimum of by using people who like legends and don't somewhat like information or reason.

Answer 4

Be practical, honey, I know Loyd's of London is. They do not charge any more to insure ships that regularly pass through the triangle area.

To those of you who agreed with this child's fantasy's, instead of imparting the truth; go to the " alternative " section.

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

Well, lots of ships have disappeared there. Of course, it probably is no more "real" than spontaneous human combustion. LOL, I used to worry about that when I was a kid after I saw a show about it on TV!!!!
BTW, don't believe everything u see on TV, most of it is pure BS, LOL.

Answer 7

I do not believe in the Bermuda Triangle directly, but I believe in extraterrestrials, and I think the two may be related.

Answer 8

I think it's real. I've read that it might be some sort of-I don't know-vortex, or something that works for transportation. I also believe in extra-terrestrials, and that the two are related somehow.

Answer 9

i do.
there is actually a force down their that pulls ships off track. Today people still try to pass there without getting forced the wrong way. its like climbing mount everest, but worse

Answer 10

not untill i see a ship[ or flight dissapearing with my own eyes

Answer 11

I dont know but if my MIL comes back from her paid vacation I'll let you know
