The Bermuda Triangle mystery
“There is one knows not what sweet mystery about the sea, whose gentle painful stirrings seem to speak of some hidden soul beneath.” —Herman Melville
The ‘Bermuda Tri-angle’ is something beyond imagination which is happening illogically. It is the greatest modern mystery of our supposedly well-understood world. Invariably, everybody has, at least once in his life, wondered about this mystery.
Bermuda is located in the Atlantic Ocean near the Caribbean Islands. The three ports, Miami, San Juan and Bermuda make a triangular shape. Bermuda Triangle is located at 80 degree longitude.
For over centuries, people from all over the world have noticed strange happenings which are inexplicable. Many reasons and official explanations have been given by the authorities yet they cannot verify why ships and aeroplanes seem to be swallowed up, vanishing from the earth, without leaving any trace. Only God and the sea know where these ships and planes go.
To date, as many as 100 ships and planes have been reported missing, taking a toll of about 1,000 lives. No traces or clues have been found. Some scientists claim that Bermuda Triangle is an area where time and space seem to disappear.
The first disappearance was recovered by Christopher Columbus in 1942. He reported that he saw a large ball of fire in the sea and that his compass was not working correctly.
Flight 19 was a flight of fine US Navy TBA Avenger Torpedo Bombers. Before disappearing, on December 5, 1945, it reported that everything was getting out of control. The ocean was looking very strange and then no contact could be made. A Martin Mariner plane with 13 people on board headed towards Bermuda Triangle to find out what happened. After almost 20 minutes, there was a bright orange flash in the sky, and no trace was found of it.
These incidents are beyond human imagination yet some possible explanations are given. People say that there is some magical history hidden behind. Many fiction movies have been made on it besides a few books have also been written. Some say that the magnetic force is so great in that area that it results in the vanishing of iron objects (ships, planes). Scientists have also found some volcanic activity beneath the sea bed. Some people claim that they have seen ghosts but the scientific world disproves this concept.
Bermuda Triangle is really provoking and mind-boggling and weaves a web of fear in this whole world. Strange, indeed very strange, but that is why we call it a mystery!
