Bermuda Triangle
THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
The BERMUDA TRIANGLE which is also known as "DEVIL'S TRIANGLE" or
"HURRICANE ALLEY" is a loosely defined region in the westhern part of North Atlantic Ocean ,
where a number of aircarft and ships are said have disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
The vicinty of bermuda triangle is the most heavily travelled shipping lanes in the world.Cruise ships and pleasure craft regularly sail through the region, and commercial and private aircraft routinely fly over it.
TRIANGLE AREA
In 1964,Vincent Gaddis wrote in the pulp magazine Argozy of the boundaries of
bermuda triangle,by giving its vertices as Miami,San Juan,Puerto Rico and Bremuda .Subsequent writers did not necessarily follow this definition. Some writers gave different boundaries and vertice to the triangle, with the total area varying from 1,300,000 to 3,900,000 km2 (500,000 to 1,510,000 sq mi)."Indeed, some writers even stretch it as far as the Irish coast." Consequently, the determination of which accidents occurred inside the triangle depends on which writer reported them.
ORIGINS
By the time author Vincent Gaddis coined the phrase “Bermuda Triangle” in a 1964 magazine article, additional mysterious accidents had occurred in the area, including 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, Atlantisand sea 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.
