Bermuda triangle

The Atlantic Ocean’s Mystery

Who would've thought? Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer whose original purpose was to get to the Asiatic continent and, by no means, thought he'd be "discovering" a whole new part of the world. Who would've thought, he also, be the first to experience the strange abnormality that lies in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean since who knows when? And whowould've thought this thing is known to have the shape of a triangle?
Some call it The Devil’s Triangle, but it is better known as The Bermuda Triangle. You must’ve had heard of it and wondered: why do they call it that way and not The Puerto Rico Triangle or The Florida Triangle? Well, be patient ‘cause I will tell you why.
The Bermuda Triangle, as you can see, is located inthe Atlantic Ocean reaching the south east coast of Florida, the north coast of Puerto Rico and the Bermuda Islands, belonging to the United Kingdom.
And?...What about it?...Why is it so famous anyway? Let say that this area was the protagonist of many unexplained disappearances. And what do I mean by “disappearances”? It’s a place where ships and aircraft vanished without leaving anytraces or evidence of what may have caused the “accident”.

Flight 19. 14 men. December 5th of 1945. This mission was just a military training flight that consisted of five TBM Avenger Torpedo Bombers: it vanished. When the flight leader Lt. Charles Taylor realized they were lost, he thought they were approaching the Gulf of Mexico as shown. But their position was really near the BermudaIslands. Something strange was happening with the compasses: all of them stopped working, causing the mission to head in a wrong direction, waste the fuel and vanish off the east coast of Florida. This seems to be the most talked about case of the Bermuda Triangle and one of the reasons that led Charles Berlitz to write a book about it. Charles Berlitz, the person who started it all, published in1974 The Bermuda Triangle, making the subject extremely popular. Nearly 20 million copies sold. A new myth is born.
Flight 19, of course, is not the only one. According to Skepdic.com, some estimate “from about 200 to no more than 1,000 incidents in the past 500 years” and that it “depends on who is doing the locating and the counting”. Now I’m going to show you some of the classicsattributed to this mysterious place. The Mary Celeste in 1872, history’s most famous “ghost” ship. It was found intact and in good conditions, but with no one inside. USS Cyclops, an American Navy freighter disappeared with nearly 400 people on board in 1918. DC-3, a flight lost in 1948. It was carrying 27 Christmas vacationers and 3 crew members home from Puerto Rico, according to the JuniorSkeptic Magazine. Marine Sulphur Queen, the first liquid sulfur tanker in the world disappeared in 1963 with 39 people aboard.
Interesting, isn’t it? But there’s something much more interesting than that. This man, do you know who he is? –Yes, Roberto Clemente. And do you know what happened to him?- He loaded a small DC-7 plane with aids and food to the Nicaragua people that were damaged byan earthquake just days before this relief mission. Roberto and 4 more died moments after the plane took off. According to Latinosportslegends.com they never got past the San Juan border and that the plane crashed into 30 feet of water. His body was never found. The DC-7 was “over-crowded” and that was the reason why it crashed. Now, the question is: Why is this incident not attributed to theBermuda Triangle if it happened just right here? Because the causes of the accident were credible and explainable? If that’s the case then, are the accidents that I mentioned explainable? Maybe yes, Maybe no.
Mary Celeste: the people aboard left in a hurry because they believed that either the ship was about to explode or that the ship was sinking.
USS Cyclops: it disappeared in...
