Mysterious Disappearances In The Bermuda Triangle

Enlarge ImageWe like to consider ourselves the superior race, and we are. We are emphatic to know more and more, we actually live in "the information age". Everyday we face new challenges, new questions arise and new answers are given. Our human vanity makes us believe that we have to, we really have to know everything! Surprisingly, we do not have this capacity. The question "what is happening in the Bermuda Triangle?" is the very proof that we are not omniscient.

After decades of investigations and assumptions, the world’s scientists did not reach an indisputable explanation to the events occurred in this famous, magic, disastrous place. Where is it located? In the West Atlantic Ocean, East from Florida, U.S.A. Considered to be a cursed location, the imaginable triangle is situated between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Over 100 ships and planes simply disappeared in the deep waters, a reason why it was called the Devil’s triangle or the Atlantic cemetery.

Queer incidents
Five T.B.M. Avenger of the U.S.A air fleet took off the military airport in Florida, in December the 5th 1945. Responsible for this mission was the colonel Charles Taylor and it was only a simple exercise, a flight with the aim of recognition. They were scheduled to take off at 2p.m. and return in 20 minutes. The sky was clear.
At 3.30 p.m., Charles Taylor was transmitting a message through radio to the control tower of Ford Lauderdale base:
Taylor: We are outside the route parameters. We see no ground.
Operator: What is your position?
Taylor: We can’t determine it…it seems we are lost.
Operator: Move 2 degrees to West.
Taylor: We don’t know where is the West. I can’t identify our position…weird, even the ocean looks different…
After this, the conversation was interrupted. No one could ever find that plane again.

Furthermore, some other disappearances took place: in 1947, the American C54 plane simply vanishes at 100 miles from Bermuda; at 80 miles, the Star Tiger plane disappears in 1948. Many hypotheses were stated in order to explain the bizarre events. In spite of these attempts, the mystery of Bermuda , the death triangle, is not cleared. Some specialists say that tornadoes or navigation mistakes can be the cause of it. Can be, but these theories do not answer all the questions. Some people get to say that maybe aliens are involved in it. More earthly assumptions were recently made:

• strong marine streams
• emanation of methane gas, which leads to a reduction of the water’s density, making the ships, planes go rapidly to the bottom of the ocean

The marine geologist Alan Judd, professor at the Sunderland British University, says that the odds that the sea accidents occur because of the methane gas are one to 10.000. Anyway, in such conditions, any ship located above the place where the gas reaches the surface goes straight to the bottom of the sea. He says he knows sailors who went through this type of experience and because the emanation was not too strong, the ship only went down 2 meters under the sea lever.

Even Columbus had trouble in Bermuda. The legend says that his first accounts were about the odd happenings encountered there: "the waters are changing their colors" and "compasses are going wild".

In addition, other frenetic scientists relate the happening with Einstein’ s theory, speculating that the missing ships and planes are …translated to another dimension of space and time, taking them in an invisible, parallel world. Another explanation can be found in the best-seller book "The Bermuda Triangle" of the famous Charles Berlitz.

These events are out of normal limits and because we do not have an answer to satisfy our questions related to this topic, we are covered by intrigue, fear and excitement at the same time. Together with other enigmatic occurrences from all over the world, like the great Pyramids or the Black Stone from Mecca, the mystery from the Bermuda remains unsolved. Because of the thousands of hypotheses emitted every year, we are looking forward to the one that will stand still in front of all the questions. Alternatively, we will just have to wait to go to Heaven and ask the One who made it. That answer will surely be a satisfying one!
