The Bermuda Triangle is held
responsible for the disappearance of countless airplanes and boats in the ocean
between Florida, San Juan, and Bermuda. This area is one of the most heavily
sailed shipping lanes in the world, with vessels crossing through daily for
ports in the Americas, Europe and the Caribbean Islands. So why do people think there
are unexplained mysteries going on in this vast triangle of ocean?
Over the years, there have been
a huge number of disappearances that happened in mysterious circumstances,
supposedly falling beyond the possibilities of human error, equipment failure
or natural disasters. Many paranormal theories talk of a suspension of the laws
of physics.
For instance, the first
unexplained event occurred in the 1950s when the story of Flight 19 came to
light, detailing a group of five US Navy bombers on a training mission. The
flight leader was reported to have said: "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 Navy officials said the planes "flew
off to Mars".
So, do multiple airplane and
boat disappearances over a patch of ocean count as unexplained mysteries?
Skeptics say no. They point out that such incidents have been greatly
embellished, that ships have sunk in many places, and the Bermuda Triangle is
responsible for no more disappearances than any other area of ocean.
Phew. Now we can all go
vacation in the Caribbean in peace...
