BERMUDA TRIANGLE

Hi friends, today I want to tell you about a mystery that kept me bewildered for a long time. You must have heard about the BERMUDA TRIANGLE. I heard about it when I was about 12 (as I remember). Today I’ll tell you what’s the real mystery behind this Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared in what are said to be circumstances that fall beyond the boundaries of human error or acts of nature. Some of these disappearances have been attributed to the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings by popular culture. Although substantial documentation exists showing numerous incidents to have been inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, there is no doubt that many ships and airplanes have been lost in the area.
Many reasons have been given to explain the mysterious happenings in the bermuda triangle region. One reason is the Hurricanes. Hurricanes are extremely powerful storms which are spawned in the Atlantic near the equator, and have historically been responsible for thousands of lives lost and billions of dollars in damage. The sinking of Francisco de Bobadilla's Spanish fleet in 1502 was the first recorded instance of a destructive hurricane. In 1988, Hurricane Gilbert, one of the most powerful hurricanes in history, set back Jamaica's economy by three years. These storms have in the past caused a number of incidents related to the Triangle. Another reason is the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream is an ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico, and then through the Straits of Florida, into the North Atlantic. In essence, it is a river within an ocean, and like a river, it can and does carry floating objects. A small plane making a water landing or a boat having engine trouble will be carried away from its reported position by the current, as happened to the cabin cruiser Witchcraft on December 22, 1967, when it reported engine trouble near the Miami buoy marker one mile from shore, but was not there when a Coast Guard cutter arrived.
Many technicians now believe that Bermuda Triangle was not as great a mystrey as it had been shown. Many accidents may have been only because of human errors. Hurricanes occur in the seas all over the world. And the real fact, I came across is that the number of accidents that have taken place in Bermuda are not much more than what have happened in other regions of the world. So now, Bermuda does not remain such a great mystery.
