The Triangle of Death: Bermuda triangle

The Bermuda Triangle is a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared. Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents, including one in which the pilots of a squadron of U.S. Navy bombers became disoriented while flying over the area; the planes were never found. Other boats and planes have seemingly vanished from the area in good weather without even radioing distress messages. But although myriad fanciful theories have been proposed regarding the Bermuda Triangle, none of them prove that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently there than in other well-traveled sections of the ocean. In fact, people navigate the area every day without incident.

1. Located in the Atlantic ocean, the Bermuda Triangle falls between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Florida.
2. The Bermuda Triangle has long been believed to be the site where a number of mysterious plane and boat incidents have occurred.
3. While it has become part of popular culture to link the Bermuda Triangle to paranormal activity, most investigations indicate bad weather and human error are the more likely culprits.
4. Research has suggested that many original reports of strange incidents in the Bermuda Triangle were exaggerated and that the actual number of incidents in the area is similar to that of other parts of the ocean.
5. While its reputation may scare some people, the Bermuda Triangle is actually part of a regularly sailed shipping lane with cruise ships and other boats also frequently sailing through the area.
6. Aircraft are also common in the Bermuda Triangle with both private and commercial planes commonly flying through the air space.
7. Stories of unexplained disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle started to reach public awareness around 1950 and have been consistently reported since then.
8. Unverified supernatural explanations for Bermuda Triangle incidents have included references to UFO’s and even the mythical lost continent of Atlantis.
9. Other explanations have included magnetic anomalies, pirates, deliberate sinking, hurricanes, gas deposits, rough weather, huge waves and human error.
   Some famous reported incidents involving the Bermuda Triangle include:

• The USS Cyclops and its crew of 309 that went missing after leaving Barbados in 1918.
• The TBM Avenger bombers that went missing in 1945 during a training flight over the Atlantic.
• A Douglas DC-3 aircraft containing 32 people that went missing in 1958, no trace of the aircraft was ever found.
• A yacht was found in 1955 that had survived three hurricanes but was missing all its crew. At least 1000 lives are lost within the last 100 years. On average, 4 aircraft and 20 yachts go missing every year. 
  
  
  Inside the Bermuda Triangle, US Government has AUTEC (for Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center), which is located on the Andros Island of Bahamas. Here US Navy tests their submarines, sonar and other weapons. However many are of the view that it is more than just the testing center. 
  You will be surprised to know that the first person to report about Bermuda Triangle was Christopher Columbus. He wrote in his journals that inside the triangle, the ship's compass stopped working and he also saw a fireball in the sky. The mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle have been documented for centuries, the Bermuda Triangle's infamy first started with Christopher Columbus. He wrote in his journals that inside this area, the watercraft's compass stopped working and he saw a fireball in the sky too. According to Columbus , when he looked down at his compass and observed that his compass was giving strange readings that day was October 8, 1492. He didn't take it seriously and a he did not inform his crew too, because having a compass that didn't point to magnetic north may have sent the exactly on border crew into the wildly unthinking behavior. This decision was apparently an ideal decision considering three days after when Columbus directly spotted a mysterious light, the crew got alarmed to go back to Spain.
  
  
   Whenever any plane or ship disappears in the Triangle, its debris cannot be found. The reason behind this is that Gulf Stream runs near the triangle, which quickly gets rid of the debris.
