Bermuda Triangle: Fact Or Fiction? by tinodam: 1:12pm On Feb 09, 2020

For decades now, the Bermuda Triangle or Devil's Triangle has been plagued by mysterious and weird disappearance of ships, people and airplanes.

It is a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared in unexplained circumstances.

These dozens of boats, ships and airplanes have never been found.

Why do ships and planes seem to go missing in the region? Some authors suggested it may be due to a strange magnetic anomaly that affects compass readings (in fact they claim Columbus noted this when he sailed through the area in 1492). Others theorize that methane eruptions from the ocean floor may suddenly be turning the sea into a froth that can't support a ship's weight so it sinks (though there is no evidence of this type of thing happening in the Triangle for the past 15,000 years). Several books have gone as far as conjecturing that the disappearances are due to an intelligent, technologically advanced race living in space or under the sea.

Despite these disappearances, it is still a well-travelled section of the ocean. In fact, people navigate the area every day without incident.

So the question now is whether the Bermuda Triangle is fact or fiction.

Well, I don't know if the Bermuda Triangle is fact or fiction. However, there are some incidences that have happens along that stretch of the ocean to make many makes that part of the earth is a bit mysterious and mythical.

1918: U.S. Battleship Goes Missing With 306 on Board

The USS Cyclops was a collier that operated between the East Coast and the Caribbean, servicing the Atlantic fleet for a time and then ran trans-Atlantic journeys until February 1918. The ship later disappeared and the 306 crew and passengers were never heard from again.

1948: DC-3 Commercial Flight Vanishes

On Dec. 28, 1948, Capt. Robert Lindquist took off from San Juan with two crew members and 29 passengers heading for Miami. When the plane was 50 miles away from Miami, Lindquist reportedly radioed the Miami airport for landing instructions. The airport's reply was met with silence. The plane was never seen again.

1976: Panamanian Ship Trades Cargo for Mystery

The Panamanian ship Sylvia L. Ossa was a cargo ship that was a regular near the mysterious waters of the Bermuda Triangle. But in 1976, the Sylvia L. Ossa fell victim to the mysteries of the triangle when she and her 37-person crew disappeared without a trace.

1948: Star Tiger passenger plane vanished

On its way from England to Bermuda in January 1948, a Star Tiger passenger plane vanished with more than 30 people on board. The fate of the Star Tiger is still considered an unsolved mystery.
