I was just as tired as the normal woman, when suddenly my attention was caught by this feature on National Geographic channel about the so called “ Bermuda Triangle”. Of course ive heard this before and even read variety of reading materials about this mysterious stuff, but none so far supersedes these rare features on how scientists and pilot have survived against this region. Plenty of myths have been associated on this region to explain the disappearances and mysterious vanished of large ships and even naval aircrafts. With just the typical human curiosity, I really feel curious about this stuff so I decided to blog about this, hoping that someone expert and knowledgeable on this will share his thoughts and knowledge as to explain the mystery behind this talk of the town.
So far my research tells me about this things and facts:
“Bermuda Triangle, region of the western Atlantic Ocean that has become associated in the popular imagination with mysterious maritime disasters. Also known as the Devil's Triangle, the triangle-shaped area covers about 1,140,000 sq km (about 440,000 sq mi) between the island of Bermuda, the coast of southern Florida, and Puerto Rico.
The sinister reputation of the Bermuda Triangle may be traceable to reports made in the late 15th century by navigator Christopher Columbus concerning the Sargasso Sea, in which floating masses of gulfweed were regarded as uncanny and perilous by early sailors; others date the notoriety of the area to the mid-19th century, when a number of reports were made of unexplained disappearances and mysteriously abandoned ships. The earliest recorded disappearance of a United States vessel in the area occurred in March 1918, when the USS Cyclops vanished.”
