The mysteries surrounding Bermuda Triangle
Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle happens to be one of the most mysterious places on planet earth. Scientists and historians have been trying since the last two centuries to interpret or analyse things that happen around the Bermuda Triangle. But they still haven’t found any convincing explanation behind them. In fact, the mysteries keep adding up with time.
Where is Bermuda Triangle?
Bermuda Triangle is located off the southeastern coast of the US peninsula in the Atlantic Ocean, between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico. This region of unsolved mysteries covers an area of 4,40000 miles of see and is a part of one of the busiest shipping routes in the world. Although sailors are often advised to avoid this route, sometimes it becomes imperative to travel through this region as it conveniently connects America, Europe and the Caribbeans.
The unsolved mysteries
Over the centuries, hundreds of ships and airplanes have been reported to have mysteriously disappeared from this region. This Devil’s Triangle has also been blamed for the sudden inexplicable disappearances of thousands of people in the last many decades.
The stories surrounding the Bermuda Triangle date back to the time of Christopher Columbus, however, its mysterious character came under the public attention only in the 20th century when a US-bound ship was reported missing. Below are some of the incidents that happened over the years.
The disappearance of USS Cyclops: In March 1918, the navy cargo and fuel ship USS Cyclops, with more that 300 people on board and 10800 tonnes of manganese ore went mysteriously missing and was never recovered. In fact, no amount of remains were either found. It is as if it disappeared into the thin air. It marks the largest loss of life in a single incident in the history of the US navy.
The disappearance of twin-engine plane: The most recent mysterious happening near the Bermuda Triangle was the disappearance of another US bound small twin-engine plane in May 2021. With only four people onboard, the plane suddenly went off the radar while flying from Puerto Rico to Florida. The remains of the plane were however found later inside the ocean.
Carroll A. Deering: Carroll A. Deering, the five-masted commercial schooner is one of the most talked about maritime mysteries of the previous century, surrounding its complete abandonment. Often known as the “Ghost Ship of the Outer Banks,” its disappearance along with few other vessels around the same time in the Bermuda Triangle have made the researchers and navigators wary of the apparent paranormal activities in the region. How the entire crew along with their belongings went missing amidst the vast ocean is an enigma in itself.
