What is the Bermuda triangle – Shaun Hunter & Kelly Miller
     The Bermuda triangle is a triangle of space that goes from Miami Florida to
San Juan, Puerto Rico and then to Bermuda. In the middle of this triangle there is
a space that is known to be very weird like. When planes or boats drive through
here sometimes they never come back out the other side and are lost forever.
There have been many cases of what happened to different kinds of planes and
boats that have disappeared or made it through the Bermuda Triangle.

      Although the triangle has not taken
every single ship or plane that has went
through it. It has been discovered that the
more you go further into the middle of the
triangle the worse your signal gets and the
more likely you are to have a failed connection and the better chance of crashing.
The place where most of these planes are known to disappear is a very popular
place for tropical storms which makes some of the blame goes to different storms
for the disappearance of aircrafts and boats.

      So all in all what the Bermuda Triangle is, is a triangle of ocean that when
you go through it you can lose your signal and then get lost and eventually crash or
lose your fuel and crash and eventually you will never be heard of again. You will
end up being one of the triangle’s many victims.

Planes and Aircrafts – Cole Waddell

      Since 1917, many boats have passed through the Bermuda Triangle, with
some of them returning home safely, but many have been unsuccessful in their
voyage through the unknown. Planes have fared much worse, though, in a shorter
time span. The first plane didn’t enter the Bermuda Triangle until 1945, and it
didn’t come back. No matter whether you are traveling in a boat, or in a plane,
your odds for survival, aren’t good.
      In total, 96 boats have been lost at sea
in the Bermuda Triangle. The very first
occurred in 1917, somewhere between the
dates of March 6th and March 27th. It
happened sometime in this time span, but the
actual date is unknown. Between here and 1940, 5 more ships went down. Then
came the WWII. In this time, there were too many ships go down to count, so the
actual number is unknown. Post-war, 91 more ships have gone down, with the
most recent being on December 13th, 2009. Two men vanished in a 17 foot Largo
pleasure craft. They were headed to Bimini. They never made it.
      The first ever plane to go down in the Bermuda Triangle was on December
5th, 1945. 14 Navy pilots on a training mission all went in. None of them came out
alive. Today’s total is up to 129, as far as we know. There could be more unknown
planes that we don’t yet know about.

      Bermuda History – Brodie Hunter & Daniel Miranda

      People have been questioning of the Bermuda Triangle and its mysteries for
years. The triangle is a legend but the thing is that ships and planes have flown in
to it and never came back out. There are lots of different theories of why but

known are for sure. In 1960s one person thought
that there was a UFO has crashed in that area
messing all the navigations on the ship and plane
and that’s why they were never seen again. From
the 1400s to 2001 there has been disappearance of
planes and ships. There were 170 different
disappearances in that time period. In 1945 flight
19 went missing near that area but they have said
that it was a compass malfunction that got him near that area on a training exercise.

The triangle is also called the devils triangle. You most likely think why they gave
it such a weird nickname. Some people said it is also the gate way to the under
world.

Myths of the Bermuda Triangle – Braden Dereniwski
      The Bermuda Triangle stretches over a vast area of the Atlantic Ocean, in
this triangle there have been hundreds of missing war vessels and aircrafts. Some
this mystery is due to paranormal
activities, suspensions in the law of
physics, monsters that dwell in the sea or
even aliens that come from the far
reaches of space. A theory that these
events occur are that large deposits
methane. These methane deposits can
produce bubbles which lower the water
density which can eventually sink ships.
Some other theories are of course extra terrestrial (UFO’s), the Bimini Road, even

the lost city of Atlantis. Other thoughts are more natural like hurricanes, gulf
streams, and freak waves, strange compass problems that cause navigators to loose
their way.
      This brings us to our first mystery. How did the Bermuda Triangle become a
mystery at all? Scientifically there are no explanations to what the Bermuda
Triangle is or how it got there. Another myth that puzzles the minds of today is that
of which Christopher Columbus say he saw in 1492. Apparently he recorded in the
crew’s ship log that he and his crew witnessed a large ball of fire that fell into the
sea. This has been referred to as the Triangles Light, which is theory behind the
strange disturbances within the Bermuda Triangle. A popular mystery is to why
compasses get so screwy. It is thought that the magnetic field slowly rotates with
the earth, and its main place is directly in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle.
Lastly, no one was never sure when people really started to pay attention to the
Triangle but it wasn’t until the 1950s when mainstream media started to notice.
And to this day people still study this and strange occurrences are still happening
without an explanation. The Bermuda triangle is for sure a mystery to bizarre to
comprehend.
Accident Reports – Daniel Miranda
      One of the most famous cases of the Bermuda triangle is the USS Cyclops
and the Aircraft of Flight 19 in December 1945. Research said that ships probably
sank down due to unexpected storm, and airship ran out of fuel and cashed onto the
ocean but there is no physical traces that have been found. SS Marine Sulphur
Queen is another well known disappearance reports in February 1963. They were
some floating artifacts found and because of increasing reports, the belief of the
natures Bermuda triangle is also getting popular.

Flight 19 was the designation of five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that
disappeared on 5 December 1945 during a
Unites States Navy-authorized over water
navigation training flight from Naval Air
Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The
assignment was called "Navigation
problem No. 1", which is a combination of
bombing and navigation, and which other
flights had completed or were scheduled to train that day. All 14 men on the flight
were lost, and all 13 crew members of a PBM mariner Flyer is been exploded in
mid-air while searching for the flight. Navy investigators can’t figure out the cause
for the loss of Flight.

History – Daniel Miranda & Brodie Hunter

       The first disappearance around the area was in 1950 by E.V.W. Jones as a
sidebar on the Associated Press wire service about the losses of the recent ships.
Jones describes the disappearance of ships and aircraft in the area as the Devil’s
Triangle. The Story of the Devil’s Triangle was again being mentioned in the 1952
Fate Magazine by George X. Sand and continued to make an outline about the
strange disappearance of the ships. Vincent Gaddis popularized the word Bermuda
Triangle in 1964. Later through the effort of Charles Berlitz in his book Bermuda
Triangle in 1974. The story of the mysterious disappearance of ships and aircraft is
been having a lot of series featuring the famous flight 19 in December 1945 the
loss of five U.S. Navy Avenger Torpedo Bombers. The Book became bestsellers
and in fact, theories have been made and Scientist figuring out how the Mystery of
the disappearance of Ships and aircrafts could happen.
