What is Bermuda Triangle Stories?

The marine tanker ship ‘Sulfur Queen’ (gross) was sunk in the Bermuda Triangle in 1963, with 39 well-trained navy men aboard. It was carrying molten sulfur near the southern coast of Florida when it disappeared entirely.

A pattern allegedly began forming in which vessels traversing the Bermuda Triangle would either disappear or be found abandoned.

In all probability, however, there is no single theory that solves the mystery. As one skeptic put it, trying to find a common cause for every Bermuda Triangle disappearance is no more logical than trying to find a common cause for every automobile accident in Arizona. Moreover, although storms, reefs and the Gulf Stream can cause navigational challenges there, maritime insurance leader Lloyd’s of London does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an especially hazardous place.

This is a hard ship to lose! It was 7,240 tons and more than 300 feet high. The lost crew members’ families demanded answers from the Coast Guard, but a lengthy search recovered little information or remains of the ship itself.

Then, in December 1945, five Navy bombers carrying 14 men took off from a Fort Lauderdale

In the 1960’s, nuclear power was making big waves on the global scene. Hippies hated it, but its potential for power was undeniable. One of the exciting new applications for nuclear energy was transportation, particularly for the armed forces. A hi-tech nuclear-powered submarine named ‘Scorpion’ took to the Mediterranean seas in 1968. You guessed it. This ship disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle.

Then, in December 1945, five Navy bombers carrying 14 men took off from a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, airfield in order to conduct practice bombing runs over some nearby shoals.

In February of last year, Turkish Airlines flight TK183 experienced unexplained mechanical and electrical problems as it flew over the triangle and was so shaken up by them that it had to completely change course. It landed safely in Washington, D.C. instead of arriving in its intended destination of Havana, Cuba.

but with his compasses apparently malfunctioning, the leader of the mission

The Bermuda Triangle experiences these hurricanes in a different way than the islands (or in Florida’s case, peninsula). Cyclones rip through the triangle on their way to becoming tropical storms or hurricanes on land. If that doesn’t deter you from traveling there, then no ghost stories will.

known as Flight 19, got severely lost. All five planes flew aimlessly until they ran low on fuel and were forced to ditch at sea.

Vladimir Romanovsky of the University of Alaska Fairbanks says that ships floating over the Bermuda Triangle might get sunk by “sinkholes in the ocean produced as a result of decomposing gas hydrates.” This would explain the sinking of heavy ships and hi-tech submarines, but what about the planes?

That same day, a rescue plane and its 13-man crew also disappeared.

After a massive weeks-long search failed to turn up any evidence, the official Navy report declared that it was “as if they had flown to Mars.”

Bermuda Triangle Theories and Counter-Theories

By the time author Vincent Gaddis coined the phrase “Bermuda Triangle” in a 1964 magazine article, additional mysterious accidents had occurred in the area

ncluding three passenger planes that went down despite having just sent “all’s well” messages. Charles Berlitz, whose grandfather founded the Berlitz language schools, stoked the legend even further in 1974 with a sensational bestseller about the legend.

Since then, scores of fellow paranormal writers have blamed the triangle’s supposed lethalness on everything from aliens, Atlantis and sea monsters to time warps and reverse gravity fields

whereas more scientifically minded theorists have pointed to magnetic

monsters to time warps and reverse gravity fields, whereas more scientifically minded theorists have pointed to magnetic anomalies, waterspouts or huge eruptions of methane gas from the ocean floor.
