The Wierd Bermuda!
What do you guys and gals think is the Bermuda triangle? Everybody knows that its one of the wierd places in the world. Here you can get to know what the bermuda is actually is : The Bermuda Triangle is actually an imaginary triangle that extends from Miami to Bermuda. It extends down to , Puerto Rico, closing it off at Miami again. It has a reputation for strange disappearances, the most famous of which is Flight 19. I am here to argue that there is no mystery to be solved. The disappearances and the “strange” events that people are so fond of discussing are no more mysterious than anything that happens anywhere else. In fact, Lloyd’s of London, who insures many a merchant vessel, has come out and said that the Bermuda Triangle does not pose any greater risk to a ship or airplane than any other area on the world’s oceans. The US Navy and Coast Guard to not even acknowledge an area known as The Bermuda Triangle.
Consider where The Bermuda Triangle lies. This is a playground for tourists, and a busy route for merchant vessels. Those crystal blue waters and warm weather attract both the experienced and inexperienced to its gorgeous depths, and on any given day, there are millions of people conducting business, fishing, boating, SCUBA diving, or otherwise travelling on it. Those who know the area well will know that in this part of the world, where the warm waters of the Gulfstream mingle with converging weather from above, are well aware that storms hit seemingly out of nowhere. They are very often violent squalls that would take down anyone who goes out unprepared.
The majority of the disappearances, as researched by Arizona State University librarian, Larry Kusche, have an explanation that is far from mysterious. Most of these cases were conveniently neglected by sensationalist writers in the past, and claimed that the seas were calm, or that no remains were found. A little digging showed that storms were in fact in progress and that remains were later found, accounting for a huge number of supposedly strange vanishings.
The most famous case, Flight 19, was a case of pilot disorientation that ended tragically. On December 5, 1945, five Avenger torpedo planes left the Naval Air Station in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to practice manoeuvres over a wreck near The Bahamas. The only pilot on this mission that was not a student was Lt. Charles Taylor. Unfortunately, though Taylor was an experienced pilot, he had not flown in this part of the world often, and it was his eventual confusion, in a world without GPS, that led to the disappearance of five planes and fourteen men.
Flight 19 had everything working against them. The compass failed, and Taylor confused a Bahamian island chain with the Florida Keys. Tragically, he kept heading north out into open sea, and even when he thought to turn West, in a desperate attempt to hit land, it was too late. Flight 19 departed from Florida at ten after two in the afternoon, and the last ground control heard from them was at four after seven.
Ground control had done their best to guide them home, but by then, they had run out of fuel and went down. Making matters worse, the Avengers, nicknamed “Iron Birds”, would have gone down very quickly, for they weighed 14,000 pounds before they were fuelled. If they went down in the Gulfstream, which is a very swift current, the remains would have been quickly dispersed. It is no wonder they were never found.
I was born and raised in Florida. I have traversed The Bermuda Triangle by boat and plane. I’ve been deep sea fishing off the coasts of both Florida and The Bahamas, not to mention swimming there. Every native knows that the storms will begin at three in the afternoon in the summertime. Every native knows that the sea deserves our respect and that one should never tempt fate there or anywhere else. However, the majority of us also know that the respect should not transform into an irrational fear, which is exactly what the “mystery” of The Bermuda Triangle is.
