Are the mystries about bermuda triangle true?

Bermuda Triangle\nBermuda Triangle, region of the western Atlantic Ocean that has become associated in the popular imagination with mysterious maritime disasters. Also known as the Devil's Triangle, the triangle-shaped area covers about 1,140,000 sq km (about 440,000 sq mi) between the island of Bermuda, the coast of southern Florida, and Puerto Rico.\n\nThe sinister reputation of the Bermuda Triangle may be traceable to reports made in the late 15th century by navigator Christopher Columbus concerning the Sargasso Sea, in which floating masses of gulfweed were regarded as uncanny and perilous by early sailors; others date the notoriety of the area to the mid-19th century, when a number of reports were made of unexplained disappearances and mysteriously abandoned ships. The earliest recorded disappearance of a United States vessel in the area occurred in March 1918, when the USS Cyclops vanished.\n\nThe incident that consolidated the reputation of the Bermuda Triangle was the disappearance in December 1945 of Flight 19, a training squadron of five U.S. Navy torpedo bombers. The squadron left Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with 14 crewmen and disappeared after radioing a series of distress messages; a seaplane sent in search of the squadron also disappeared. Aircraft that have disappeared in the area since this incident include a DC-3 carrying 27 passengers in 1948 and a C-124 Globemaster with 53 passengers in 1951. Among the ships that have disappeared was the tankership Marine Sulphur Queen, which vanished with 39 men aboard in 1963.\n\nBooks, articles, and television broadcasts investigating the Bermuda Triangle emphasize that, in the case of most of the disappearances, the weather was favorable, the disappearances occurred in daylight after a sudden break in radio contact, and the vessels vanished without a trace. However, skeptics point out that many supposed mysteries result from careless or biased consideration of data. For example, some losses attributed to the Bermuda Triangle actually occurred outside the area of the triangle in inclement weather conditions or in darkness, and some can be traced to known mechanical problems or inadequate equipment. In the case of Flight 19, for example, the squadron commander was relatively inexperienced, a compass was faulty, the squadron failed to follow instructions, and the aircraft were operating under conditions of deteriorating weather and visibility and with a low fuel supply. Other proposed explanations for disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle include the action of physical forces unknown to science, a “hole in the sky,” an unusual chemical component in the region's seawater, and abduction by extraterrestrial beings.\n\nScientific evaluations of the Bermuda Triangle have concluded that the number of disappearances in the region is not abnormal and that most of the disappearances have logical explanations. Paranormal associations with the Bermuda Triangle persist in the public mind, however.

Bermuda Triangle \n \nMap of the popularly-held dimensions of the Bermuda Triangle; recent claims by researchers allude to a more "trapezium" shape, extending back into the Gulf of Mexico and down into the Caribbean Sea, or in fact no dimensions at all, and a shape incorporating all of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean.The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean approximately triangular in shape and is famous for its supposed paranormal activities. The Bermuda Triangle's three corners are roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, giving it an area of nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²).\n\nParanormal Claims:\n\n"A significant number of ships and aircraft have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances." \n"Paranormal activity where the known laws of physics are violated." \nIt has even been suggested that "extraterrestrial beings are responsible for some of the disappearances." \nDespite popular belief, the United States Coast Guard and other agencies cite statistics indicating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily-travelled region of the world.[1] While many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon closer examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades,[2] many others still have no explanation.\n\n\nThe Triangle\nThe Triangle marks a corridor of the north Atlantic stretching northward from the West Indies along the North American seaboard as far as the Carolinas. To take advantage of prevailing winds, ships returning to Europe during the Age of Sail would sail north to the Carolinas before turning east to cross the north Atlantic. This pattern continued after the development of steam and internal combustion engines, meaning that much of the north Atlantic shipping traffic crossed (and still crosses) through the Triangle's area.\n\nThe Gulf Stream, an area of volatile weather, also passes through the Triangle as it leaves the West Indies. The combination of heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather made it inevitable that vessels would founder in storms and be lost without trace, especially before the telecommunications, radar and satellite technology of the late twentieth century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace.[3]\n\nOther areas often purported to possess unusual characteristics are the Devil's Sea, located near Japan, and the Marysburgh Vortex (or "Great Lakes Triangle"), located in eastern Lake Ontario. However, the "Devil's Sea" is not particularly well known in Japan, due to the fact that it seems as if the boats lost were mainly small fishing boats with no radios.\n\n\nHistory\n \nThe cover of the 1977 Panther paperback edition of Berlitz's The Bermuda Triangle\nFirst citations and name\nChristopher Columbus made mention of sightings of strange-looking animals near the border of the triangle and recorded near the area and now designated as the Bermuda Triangle. At one point he reports that he and his crew observed "strange dancing lights on the horizon". On another instance they observed what was most likely a falling meteor.[4]. At another point he wrote in his log about bizarre compass bearings in the area.\n\nThe first documented mention of disappearances in the area was made in 1951 by E.V.W. Jones as a sidebar on the Associated Press wire service regarding recent ship losses. Jones' article noted the "mysterious disappearances" of ships, aircraft and small boats in the region and gave it the name "The Devil's Triangle". It was next mentioned in 1952 in a Fate Magazine article by George X. Sand, who outlined several "strange marine disappearances". In 1964, Vincent Geddis referr

The Bermuda Triangle {also known as Devil's Triangle} is a nearly half-million square-mile area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the southernmost tip of Florida. The Bermuda Triangle has become popular through representation by the mass media, in which it is a paranormal site in which the known laws of physics are either violated, altered, or both.\n\nWhile there is a common belief that a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in this region, the United States Coast Guard and others disagree with that assessment, citing statistics demonstrating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean famous for its supposed paranormal activities. It is roughly an equilateral triangular shape with its three corners located near the islands of Bermuda, Puerto Rico (near its capital city San Juan), and Miami, Florida, encompassing an area of nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²).\n\nThere are many claims of paranormal activity within the triangle, especially the unexplained disappearance of ships and aircraft, or of their crews. Other common claims made of the region are that the laws of physics do not apply there as they do elsewhere, or that extraterrestrial beings are responsible for the disappearances.

The mystery about the Bermuda Triangle is regarding its geocentric position on Earth. Any Ship or Plane within the triangular area is not detected by the Sonar/Radar. This scientifically implies that the radio signals and sonic signals are blocked by something. That something is Unknown and till today scientists differ in their exact reason as to why even powerful signals are not able to record the events at the site.\nIt is true that many Ships and Planes have gone missing after last reported at the Bermuda Triangle. The non-scientific view is that the place is haunted by ghosts and monsters. However the general reason could be that navigators lose their way at the bermuda triangle due to lack of guidance such as Magnetic Compass, Radio contacts and malfunctioning of Radar transmission to a Air Control tower

the Bermudas triangle is not longer a mystery. what happens is that it has huge quantities of methanol gas which is constantly erupting gases from the bottom of the sea . this gas affects both airplanes and and ships.\n\n what happens whit the ships is that as the gas comes out it also produces huge bubles which had been proben to be able to break a large ship . this is why many of the people who used to cross the triangle constantly reported how huge waves just to came from nowhere from one moment to another.\n\non the other side the effect that metanol gass has in the airplanes is that as the gas comes out and croses the airplene this produces an... " optical effect" ... in the altitud of the control panel . this makes the person piloting think that the airplane  is gaing altitud whitout aparent reason. and cosecuently he star to think that his control panel is crazy making him make moves which cause the airplane to fall when he desides to lose some altitud becuz he thinks he has to much .

This is what I found in the net:\n\nThe Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle) is a nearly half-million square-mile (1.2 million km2) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.\n\nThe triangle is an arbitrary shape, crudely marking out a corridor of the Atlantic Ocean, stretching northward from the West Indies, along the North American seaboard, as far as the Carolinas. In the Age of Sail, ships returning to Europe from parts south would sail north to the Carolinas, then turn east for Europe, taking advantage of the prevailing wind direction across the North Atlantic. Even with the development of steam and internal-combustion engines, a great deal more shipping traffic was (and still is) found nearer the US coastline than towards the empty centre of the Atlantic. The Triangle also loosely conforms with the course of the Gulf Stream as it leaves the West Indies, and has always been an area of volatile weather. The combination of distinctly heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather meant that a certain, also distinctly large, number of vessels would founder in storms. Given the historical limitations of communications technology, most of those ships that sank without survivors would disappear without a trace. The advent of wireless communications, radar, and satellite navigation meant that the unexplained disappearances largely ceased at some point in the 20th Century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace.\n\nAmerican journalist Vincent Gaddis in the 1960s renamed this region from "The Devil's Triangle" to "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle," but the shortened version "Bermuda Triangle" is far more common.\n\nOther areas often purported to possess unusual characteristics are the Devil's Sea, located near Japan, and the Marysburgh Vortex or the Great Lakes Triangle, located in eastern Lake Ontario.\n\n\nHistory\n\nFirst citations\n\nThe first mention of disappearances in the area was made in 1951 by E.V.W.

The Bermuda Triangle has a reputation for being an area where ships and airplanes dissappear, often under mysterious circumstances. This reputation came to public awareness in the 1950s and became a household name in the 1970s, mostly due to "The Bermuda Triangle", a bestselling book written by Charles Berlitz.\n\nVarious explanations for the apparent high number of dissapperances have been put forward, ranging from the mundane to the hyper-fantastic.\n\nSkeptics contend that this region has a comparable rate of maritime and aerial incidents as any other similar sized region of the ocean. They point out that Lloyd's of London, a world-reknowned insurer of maritime vessels, does not charge a higher insurance premium for ships that regularly traverse the triangle.\n\nScientific considerations for an increased dissaperance rate take into acount that this region experiences severe tropical storms and is the source of many hurricanes. These storms create an increased danger to both ship and air traffic.\n\nRougue waves have also been put forward as a possible cause. These rare waves can reach heights of as much as 100 feet (30 meters), easily swamping most ships. Rouge waves, however, would have no effect on air travel.\n\nA third scientific explanation is methane hydrates. Methane deposits on the ocean floor may release bursts of methane gas that reduces the density of the water it permeates. Since ships rely on displacement to stay afloat, a reduction of density in the water would cause a ship to immediately sink. As the methane leaves the water and rises into the air, it would reduce the density of the air as well, thus reducing lift on aircraft, causing them to descend rapidly. In addition, the methane would change the air mixture taken into the engines of the aircraft, causing the engine to stall. While these events have not been witnessed in nature, they have been proven in lab experiments.\n\nMore exotic explanations for the Bermuda Triangle include it being an area of magnetic disturbance, temporal (or time) holes, the location of the lost city of Atlantis, or extra-terrestrial abduction.

The Bermuda Triangle (a.k.a. Devil's Triangle) is a mysterious triangle off the coast of Florida. It is a dangerous area due to it's constantly changing weather patterns and dangerous seas. Ships, planes, subs and other transports have perished in present day there. It is said that aliens and Atlantis is there.

I suspect you mean the bermuda triangle.  It's the area inside from Bermuda to Miami, from Bermuda to Puerto Rico.  Ships sink and airplanes crash mysteriesly in these areas.

Basically, there is no secret about the 'Bermuda Triangle'. If you compare the rate of ship-loss and aircraft loss to other, equally busy shipping channels around the world, there basically is no statistical difference between the number of ships lost in the Bermuda Triangle and ships lost anywhere else in the world. Lloyds of London insures things such as ships and aircraft so they were capable of making statistical analysis and the shipping lane and found nothing out of the ordinary. The only thing out of the ordinary is how so many people caught onto the books released in i believe the 50's where authors attempted to make some money by blowing the mishaps in the Bermuda Triangle out of proportion.

The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle is that things have been known to disappear near the area. All communication is lost in air or on the water and nobody seems to know why for sure.

The Legends\n\n[ Columbus - The Tragedies -Atlantis & UFOs ]\n \nIn the past 100 years, the Bermuda Triangle has claimed over 1000 lives.  In reality, that is only 10 a year.  Though these lives lost are tragedies, this is not that incredible of a figure.  It is how they died that have sparked many legends.  These flames were given fuel by V. Gaddis article in "Argossy:  Magazine of Masterpiece Fiction" where the term "Bermuda Triangle was first used. \n \nThe first legends of the Bermuda Triangle begin already with Cristopher Columbus.  As a captain, he was greatly respected, and his brave sailing efforts helped revolutionize the world.  Much of the information we have about Columbus is picked up directly from his journal, so we are able to trace his footsteps to the New World.  His first problem occured as he ran into the Sargasso Sea.  The crew was greatly disappointed when seaweed and land birds were sighted, but after a few days no land was to be seen.  Soon after, Columbus reported his compass acting strangly.  He did not report this to his crew due to their deep superstitions.    Days later, Columbus saw a large meteor fall from the sky.  He described it as "a large ball of light fallen from the sky."   It is unsure whether he mentions this occurences in awe, because of its great size, or in fright.  Later in their trip, Columbus and a few crew members sighted a few dancing lights on the horizon.  They wandered about in the Carribbean for over a week yet before sighting land.\n \nSince Columbus, as many as 100 ships and planes have been reported missing, taking over 1000 lives.  A select few of them are reported here...   (feel free to submit your own should you so desire.  Please report your sources.)\n \n\n1872:  The Mary Celeste\n\n1945:  The disappearance of 5 Navy avengers - Flight 19\n\n1947:  Army C-45 Superfort vanishes 100 miles off Bermuda.\n1948:  Four-engined Tudor IV lost with 31 lives.\n  1948:  DC-3 lost with 32 passengers and crew.\n1949:  Second Tudor IV vanishes.\n1950:  Giant US Air Force Globemaster lost.\n1950:  American freighter, SS Sandra (350 ft), sinks without a trace.\n1952:  British York transport plane lost with 33 aboard.\n1954:  US Navy Lockheed Constellation vanishes with 42 aboard.\n1956:  US Navy seaplane, Martin p5M, dessappears with crew of ten.\n1962:  US Air Force KB-50 tanker plane lost.\n1963:  Marine Sulpher Queen vanishes without a trace.\n1967:  Military YC-122, converted to cargo plane, lost.\n1970:  French freighter Milton latrides disappears.\n1972:  German freighter Anita (20,000 tons), lost with crew of 32.\n1997:   Passengers dissappear from German yacht.\n\n \n\nOther people believe that the Triangle houses the famous lost city of Atlantis.  No evidence has been brought forth to prove this theory, but many claim to have seem or "felt the powers" of the lost city.  Other people look at the lack of information and mystery involved and turn to the only other possible solution--Aliens!  Again, there is little evidence to show any sign of UFOs in the area.  Several people have claimed to have made UFO sightings, but even popular UFO experts and enthusiasts do not support the photographs involved.\n \nPerhaps the ocean is to remain a secret to man, a mystery, to keep us away from the power nature truly has over man.  This mystery can serve as a warning and to inspire awe into men's heart, looking at the greatness and power this great Creation.
