Bermuda triangle is popularly known as the devil's triangle or dragon's triangle.
Location: It is a region in western part of the North Atlantic Ocean. Its boundaries cover the straits of Florida,the Bahamas and the entire Caribbean island area and the Atlantic east to the Azores.
What actually is it? Well, it's not marked on any official map but according to some people, the Bermuda triangle is a very real place where dozen of ships,planes and people have disappeared with no good explanation. The phrase "Bermuda Triangle" was first coined by a magzine in 1964 and thus the mystery from then has continues to attract attentions.
Though there is not much mysterious about Bermuda triangle as there are not much good explanations that support this but then also for those who believe in these still have a lot of fuel for the fire.
Several strange incidents happened out there: The first incident that took place was in 1492 when Christopher Columbus was sailing from western Europe to the Caribbean islands this voyage skirted the southern edge of the Bermuda Triangle where he reported multiple compass malfunctions as well as strange lights in the horizon.But the first disappearance was reported in 1800 when a ship was disappeared with 57 crew members.And from then on the act of several disappearances began to be reported.Dozens of ships and places were disappeared. Also the loss of Flight 19 in the Bermuda Triangle is one of the strange incidents happened there. Other disappearances includes the -USS Cyclops that vanished in March 1918,during the 1st World War. And also the disappearance of a training squadron of five U.S Navy torpedo bombers in December 1945.
Explanations given in support: Many says that these incidents do happened there. They give their own explanations some says that there is some powerful gravitational field in the region which attracts any of the object which come into its field. Some says that there forms big bubbles of methane gas because of the decomposition of large life beneath it. These bubbles are capable enough to encapture the large ships and planes and thus increases their density and resulting in their sinking. These methane eruptions in their sinking are sometimes also known as "mud volcanoes". Some also believe in alien abduction. Other proposed explanations include physical forces unknown to science, a "hole in the sky",and an unusual chemical component in the region's seawater.
The Bermuda Triangle claimed more than 1,000 lives during the 20th century. That average out to about 10 per year,a figure similar to other areas of high water traffic or volatile natural conditions. Scientific evaluations of the Bermuda Triangle have concluded that the number of disappearances in the region is not abnormal and most of the disappearances have logical explanations. Its not as abnormal and strange as it has been presented by many of the people. The fact is that its not much Mysterious about the Bermuda Triangle. Its only that the things have been exaggerated and presented before us with a plate of snacks and a glass of wine.
