World ocean keeps many secrets, the first among them is the mystery of Bermuda triangle, where many ships and airplanes have disappeared in the visible time.

Bermuda's real history started only in 1609 when a group of British colonists landed ashore after their ship got wrecked at a nearby reef.  

POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR THE BERMUDA

TRIANGLE

Deep Trench and Whirlpools•The Bermuda Triangle encompasses one of the deepest

underwater trenches in the world.

•This is an important point to consider when examining

possible causes for ship and boat disappearances.

•When ocean currents are strong and the seas are warm,

vortexes can emerge.

•Trenches can trap the water and make the whirlpool more

powerful and larger.

Methane GasTrapped pockets of methane gas that are suddenly released

can rush to the surface like huge bubbles bursting and

capsize a ship. Scientists have conducted tests in laboratory

tanks and demonstrated that this is a strong possible cause

for mysterious disappearances of ships.

PiratesThe Caribbean waters were plagued with pirates from the

earliest history, so it's not unreasonable for a portion of the

unexplained disappearances to be the result of modern day

pirates.

Waterspouts, Tornadoes, Water Cyclones and

HurricanesWarm water can spawn sudden waterspouts, tornadoes etc.

Water sprouts can appear out of nowhere and disappear as

quickly as they were created. Many believe that this kind of

natural weather conditions is responsible for those

disappearances that weren't caused by human error.

PARANORMAL AND SUPERNATURAL CAUSES

Large Fish or Sea MonstersPeople in ancient time believed that a dragon or sea monsters

used to live Under- water.

This used to destroy ships coming there.

Time WarpThere have a few reports of loss of time. In one such case,

Bruce Gernon was flying from Andros Island to Ft. Lauderdale.

He encountered bad weather and flew into what he described

as a tunnel. He claimed to time travel since he arrived in Ft.

Lauderdale nearly 30 minutes early, having used nine gallons

less fuel than normal.

UFOs and USOsChristopher Columbus described seeing strange dancing

lights along the horizon of the area referred to now as the

Bermuda Triangle. He later saw a round glowing object

submerge into the ocean

Ellen Austin, 1881

It was a large American ship that frequently traveled between New York and London.

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.

The USS Cyclops, 1918

The USS Cyclops was a massive carrier ship that supplied fuel to the American feet in WWI.

The ship set sail with 309 people on board and was full of heavy cargo.

It was last heard from in Barbados where it stopped to load more cargo before making the final stretch of journey to Baltimore,

 

  Flight 19, 1945

The title given to five TBM Avenger Torpedo Bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle, December 5, 1945 during a training flight.

All 14 men on the flight disappeared without a trace. 

C-54, 1947

A C-54 aircraft took off from Bermuda on July 3, 1947 and was met with a large thunderstorm

Witchcraft, 1967

Witchcraft was a 23-foot luxury cabin cruiser, owned by Burrack who also had a popular hotel.

He with his father went to see the beauty of the Christmas lights along the shore of Miami at night. They did not even go a mile offshore.

A 1,200 square mile search was issued but nothing was ever found.

SS El Faro, 2015 

On October 1, 2015, the cargo ship SS El Faro became another tragic victim of Bermuda Triangle.

The 790-ft container ship departed  Jacksonville  (Florida) bound for  Peurto  Rico  with  33  crew members  on  board,  carrying  large number of containers, trailers and vehicles.

A tropical  storm hundreds of miles away, developed  into fierce hurricane, dashed down towards El Faro.

It is well known that marine and airway channels across

Bermuda Triangle are some of the busiest and most

commercially used routes in the world. They are used

extensively by numerous cruise lines and airlines connecting

The USA, Europe, Caribbean islands, Bermuda, South

America and even Africa. 

 

Think of what may happen to billions of dollars of thriving

international business and its impact on economy if the area

gets to be known as dreaded? Will anybody want such

flourishing economy to get jeopardized by officially calling

out the area as dangerous? 

There are many conflicting possibilities to keep the

Bermuda Triangle mystery alive for decades to come.
