The Devil's Triangle
Between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico there is a strange phenomanon known as The Bermuda Traingle, also known to some as The Devil's Triangle.
So what's so important about the Bermuda Triangle you ask?
Well, for many years in the Devil's Triangle there have been many strange incidents. These incedences include the dissapearence of many ships, small boats and planes. Infact, it is said that more than a thousand boats and aircrafts have vanished in the bermuda triangle over the past 5 centuries, with the figure inclining each year.
What makes it even stranger is that scientists have proven there, at the time, were no natural disasters, weather problems, or equiptment malfunctions. And that the crew members and machines, simply vanished into thin air.
As there are no inidictions as to what happens in the triangle, many people believe the devil does in fact reside in these waters. Hence the name.
However, the Bermuda Triangle was not always know by this name. When it was first discovered, the triangle was known as the 'Miami Triangle' but the United States objected as they believed it would prevent tourists visiting Miami. After that, it became 'Puerto Rico Triangle", but many also objected to being associated with the Triangle, and so it was eventually named the "Bermuda Triangle". A very fitting name, as Bermuda was known as the "Isle of Devils" at the time.
So are there any events to back up the claim of the disappearances inside the Bermuda Triangle? Yes. Many.
Flight 19, 1945: Flight 19 was the title given to five TBM Avenger Torpedo Bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle, December 5, 1945 during a training flight. It is documented that each of the 14 men on the flight at the time, completely vanished and were never found. Though this is one of the most famous cases of the Bermuda dissaperances, many people don't know that later into the search for the men, a Martin Mariner Flying Boat also disappeared over the water and was never found with 13 men on board.
Flight 19 is said to be the inspiration for many movies, including Close Encounters of the Third Kind, a film about an alien abduction of Pilots.
Carroll A. Deering: This case is a little different to the others. While returning from Rio De Janeiro of Brazil to Portland, Maine in January 1921, the boat was found abandoned and broken at Diamond Shoals in North Carolina. However, all 11 men on board including the captain had vanished. They were never found.
Ellen Austin, 1881: The Ellen Austin was a large American ship that frequently traveled between New York and London in the 1800's. During one of these trips, the ship came across another ship that seemed to have no direction as it was drifting quickly towards the Bermuda Triangle with no one aboard. In attempt to take over control of the boat, some of the members of Crew aboard the Ellen Austin climbed onto it. The crew attempted to sail it alongside the Ellen Austin to London, but the plans changed when two days later they got separated during a storm and, after a search coming up empty, continued to London. All seemed fine until on another trip, the Ellen Austin once again came across the boat, and once again, the boat was derelict and there were no crew members aboard. They had vanished. And days later, so did the boat.
Though these are just a miniscule few of the dissearances in The Devil's Triangle, there are many many more. As of yet, no body knows exactly what causes these people to vanish. And only a few of these boats and planes, have been found,
