| THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE |
Author: Jim
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle is an area in the ocean where
paranormal disappearances of boats and planes have supposedly occurred. The triangle has
three points: Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. The main disappearance is Flight 19 which took
place in 1945. At first people thought the plane had become victim of the Bermuda Triangle but it
was later found that it ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean.
There are many factors that debunk the Bermuda Triangle. At about 80° west there is a
change in the magnetic field which causes compasses to point directly to the North Pole rather
than to the magnetic North Pole. This could throw an inexperienced pilot or captain off in their trip
sending them out to an unknown destination. Weather is also very spontaneous in this region
due to the Gulf Stream. Cases in the past might have occurred because we didn't have the
weather detection technology we have today. The last factor to debunking the Bermuda Triangle
is ocean depths. If a plane were to crash or boat to sink there are trenches too deep for our most
advanced submarines to get to in the Bermuda Triangle.
My personal opinion of the Bermuda Triangle is that a series of unfortunate events led up to
the creation of this mysterious spot. Yes, there may be ships and planes that have not been
found today but we can't be certain that they are swept away to an alternate plane just because
we have not found them. I am not saying that the Bermuda Triangle is imaginary or that strange
things don't happen here, I am just saying that we can't be 100% sure that these vehicles have
disappeared off the Earth. Only time will tell as submarine technology gets better and we can
travel deeper into our own waters.
