Recommended: Short summary of the Bermuda Triangle

It claims its victims without warning. Stretching from Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda, it is more than 500 thousand miles wide. It is known as the Devil’s Triangle to some, but to others it is known as the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle is a pilot or ship captains worst nightmare. Two of the major disappearances in the Triangle are Flight 19 and USS Cyclops. Flight 19 was a set of US Navy bombers in training. They lost their communication signal and disappeared over the triangle. The USS Cyclops had the same issues with communication. Both lost their way and somehow ended up in the Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle has many mysterious, but there are logical explanations to these disappearances.
They say it comes out of nowhere. A fog that disrupts compasses and other electronical equipment in ships and planes. The electronic fog is notorious for claiming many of the Triangle’s victims. The tale about Flight 19 is so bizarre. It is about five Avenger Torpedo bombers who were doing a training session. On the way back to Ft. Lauderdale, Lt. Charles Taylor begins to ask his second in command for help. Taylor keeps asking Edward what his compass reads. “I don’t know where we are. We must have got lost after that last turn.” (Taylor 54) Taylor finally admitted that they were lost. Both of the compasses he had were out. Radio transmissions picked up Taylor saying he was not far enough east. Taylor had lead his crew to their demise. He changed his course several times trying to find his way back. He lead the crew further out to sea instead of taking them to land on a small island they had seen miles before. After a five day search for the planes, the trail went cold. On December 5, 1945, the search was terminated. (66) This wa...

...gave the Bermuda Triangle its fame and glory. Nothing truly vanishes without a trace. With the hundreds of miles of our oceans unexplored, what else is out there? The USS Cyclops and Avenger Torpedo bombers could be lying right under our noses. There is still a lot of unexplored territories that could house a lot of unexplained mysteries.

  • The Bermuda Triangle Theory

    This suggests that when humans who are traveling through the Bermuda Triangle make a wrong decision as far as direction, speed, altitude, etc. goes, it can often cost them their life. The same goes for many other things such as driving, you can’t remove human error from normal, often dangerous tasks, and that is when you get problems such as the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. Another contributor to human error that Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki noted was, “It is close to the equator, near a wealthy part of the world, America, therefore you have a lot of traffic, and a lot of room for error.” (Macdonald 2017) What he meant by this was that when you put a high concentration of traffic in a relatively small area, you have the possibility for collisions and overcorrections due to human error. After all, human

    The mystery of The Bermuda Triangle has proven time and time again to be one of the world’s most bewildering phenomenons, and has kept scholars and conspiracists alike scratching their heads. It has defied all aspects of logic, science, likelihood, and probability. According to a late September, 2017 article by Holly Christodoulou, a writer for “The Sun”, “The Bermuda Triangle seems to have laid claim to at least 1000 lives via the mysterious disappearances of massive man-made vessels such as planes, boats, and cargo ships that remain unfound to this very day” (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2021520/bermuda-triangle-ships-planes-conspiracy-theories/).

    Inaccurate maps seemed to be making the navigation challenging for Noonan, and Howland Island was going to be the trickiest. All unnecessary items were removed from the plane, making space for extra fuel, which added approximately 274 extra miles. During the flight many radio messages were sent, some talking of a storm and some saying she was close to the island; however, these messages were faint or interrupted by static. (Lauber, p 85-87) The United States immediately launched what was known as “the greatest rescue expedition in flying history.”

  • The Bermuda Triangle

    868 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Bermuda triangle is a place that boggles many scientists even in this day and age. The Bermuda Triangle, referred to by some as the Devil's Triangle, is in a western region of the North Atlantic Ocean where countless aircraft, ships and people have inexplicably disappeared. Throughout the years of 1955 and 1975 more than 428 vessels disappeared, along with 100 ships and 1000 lives (Obringer1). Where did these people and ships disappear off too and how come no remains were found is the mysterious question people yearn to find out. Back in the 1964, the Bermuda triangle was often nicknamed as The Devil's Islands, because sea travelers could hear various different screeching noises coming off the shores (Obringer1). The Bermuda Triangle is a whirl pool of mysterious occurrences where things have magically disappeared without any remains and no matter how many theories scientists come up with to solve the mysteries of this enchanted island, none come close to having answers for any incident that occurred on this island.
