Bermuda Triangle A mystery

Mysteries of Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle, is a roughly and unspecified defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, where a number of ships and aircraft are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. It is completely a mystery.

There are many perceptions about the area of Bermuda Triangle. Some writers gave different boundaries and vertices to the triangle, with the total area varying from 1,300,000 to 3,900,000 km².

The Bermuda Triangle is a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared. Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents, including one in which the pilots of a squadron of U.S. Navy bombers became disoriented while flying over the area; the planes were never found. Other boats and planes have seemingly vanished from the area in good weather without even radioing distress messages. But although myriad fanciful theories have been proposed regarding the Bermuda Triangle, none of them prove that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently there than in other well-traveled sections of the ocean. In fact, people navigate the area every day without incident.

What happened to flight 19?

This is one of the most famous disappearances in the triangle and a prime example of the goings on.

On December 5, 1945, five US Navy 'Avenger bombers' mysteriously vanished whilst running a routine training mission. Lieutenant Charles Taylor was in command of this squadron - he kept in constant contact via radio updating upon the mission exercises until, without warning mid-sentence, nothing was heard.

The air force quickly dispatched a rescue plane to the area which also never made it back from the Bermuda Triangle.

The US Navy reported the investigation as “cause unknown”.

What happened to the Ellen Austin?

Back in 1881 - The Ellen Austin was sailing through the triangle on its way to New York when she came upon another ship that was sailing without a single crew member aboard. In an effort to transport both ships back to their destination the Ellen Austin offloaded a portion of its own crew onto the other ship.

The Ellen Austin lost sight of the other ship over the horizon temporarily over the course of the journey back but all was well when they eventually caught up with the ship again that had unexpectedly dropped anchor ahead of them. When the Ellen Austen lashed up again with the ship to find out what happened, they found to their horror that their own crew had vanished and the ship was once again crewless.

The Ellen Austin decided to leave a few more sailors on the ship to await a salvage ship but the salvage ship never found her. It had again disappeared without a trace along with its crew.
