Is Bermuda Triangle really mysterious?

Bermuda, the western region of the Atlantic Ocean has long been considered one of the most mysterious areas in the world with a series of unexplained disappearances. However, in fact, this sea may not be as mysterious as people thought.

When did Bermuda become scary?

According to the authors of Bermuda, the great explorer Christopher Columbus was the first to recognize unusual phenomena in this sea. In a logbook, he mentions 'the light lines dancing at the horizon' and the direction of the compass losing direction when his ship goes through Bermuda.

In 1950, the mystery of Bermuda was known to the world for the first time through an AP news article. Since then, the list of ill-fated vehicles disappeared without leaving a trace as the waters continued to be updated.

In 1964, author Vincent Gaddis gathered all the materials available to write the title 'Bermuda Triangle' published in Argosy magazine. The concept of 'Bermuda Triangle' was born and quickly became a legend.

Most of the accident stories that occur in the Bermuda triangle are the same in some details: either boats or planes disappear without trace in good weather conditions, despite pilots and crew. All are experienced. Or a ship after the disappearance was found floating in the sea completely intact while the crew disappeared. Radio communications lose waves or catch strange signals. Compass whirling or die hard . All create a gloomy, mysterious picture of Bermuda.

Is it true or just fantasy?

The US Navy, which is considered the mastermind of many missing aircraft and boats in Bermuda, never thought that such a mysterious sea existed. All of the most famous US Navy accidents that contribute to the Bermuda legend are explained by the agency with very ordinary causes. The Cyclops battleship sunk in March 1918 is believed to be due to an unexpected storm. Aircraft 19 went missing in December 1945 by running out of gas and falling into the sea .

Explaining the cause of boat accidents in Bermuda, the US Navy said that the main reason was the operation of the Gulf Stream , a very strong ocean current that warmed water from the Gulf of Mexico across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe. .

In addition, this is also an area with extremely unusual weather. Hurricanes and swirling winds can occur at any time with surprisingly strong intensity and extremely fast movement. In the past, when the equipment on the ship was undeveloped, even the most experienced sailors might have only known the storm before it reached about 5 minutes.

Bermuda sensations are not as mysterious as many people think

The US Navy also rejected the hypothesis that Bermuda was one of the two locations on the compass needle, pointing north instead of north as usual. Therefore, it is not possible to blame for the problem of the direction of the accident.

US Navy arguments are underpinned by a serious study by Lloyd's of London, the world's leading marine insurance company. Accordingly, the probability of an accident in Bermuda is not higher than in other seas. The US Coast Guard agency also agreed with this conclusion.

In fact, the number of accidents and disappearances in Bermuda is only a small percentage compared to the amount of traffic passing by. The agency also gathered a lot of evidence that the information about Bermuda accidents is often inflated or distorted to seem mystical.

For example, a plane crashed in 1937, it was clear that the plane exploded in front of dozens of witnesses, but somehow it was described by the newspaper that it "disappeared without trace." .

Or the VA Fogg shipwreck in 1972, the coast guard teams still took pictures of the ship's debris and picked up some corpses, but according to the Bermuda articles, the ship disappeared completely, not one. Any victim found. With such a rich imagination, people have deliberately created a mysterious veil covering Bermuda whose ultimate goal is only fame and money.
