Mystery of Bermuda Triangle may finally be solved

in #mystery6 years ago

Bermuda is a British island territory in the North Atlantic Ocean known for its pink-sand beaches such as Elbow Beach and Horseshoe Bay. Its massive Royal Naval Dockyard complex combines modern attractions like the interactive Dolphin Quest with maritime history at the National Museum of Bermuda. The island has a distinctive blend of British and American culture, which can be found in the capital, Hamilton.

Over the past centuries, many ships and air planes have disappeared or met with fatal accidents in the triangular area on Atlantic ocean known as Bermuda Triangle. In several cases, no trace of the ships and aircraft were found even after extensive search operations were carried out for hundreds and thousands of square miles in the ocean.
Such incidents of disappearances have been known since 1600s and continues to take place in present time. While there are various explanations and theories behind such incidents, in many cases the incidents have remained unexplained.

In a shocking incident of 1945, a whole bunch of five training flights that took off from Florida naval base under the leadership of an experienced captain, never returned to the base. All are clueless as to what may have happened to it. In fact a Martin Mariner flying boat that was sent for the search operation, also went missing.

In another incident of 1918, a large well known cargo ship went missing in the triangle area without a trace with over 300 crew members on board. This was probably one of the largest loss of lives on Bermuda triangle.

And there are many more such incidents. Theories such as methane gas blow out below the ocean causing ships to sink, electronic fog engulfing an aircraft and taking it to unknown zone, hurricanes destroying aircraft, and several other such theories try to explain such cases.

So, are these incidents actually caused by Bermuda triangle phenomena? Or these are just mere accidents that also take place in other ocean areas as well, and are simply hyped up here by some theorists to draw unnecessary attention? Figure it out yourself.

Go through the following incidents that have left scientists completely baffled. I have arranged them in chronological order so that you can see earlier ones to most recent incidents by year.

1609 - The Sea Venture got wrecked near the eastern end of Bermuda Island. The commander of the fleet Sir George Somers and his crew came ashore and were the first to start human settlement in the island.
1872 - Mary Celeste: Known as one of the ghost ships of Bermuda Triangle, Mary Celeste had many misadventures even before her mystery voyage in 1872. Find out the full story.
1881 - The Ellen Austin on its voyage in 1881 came across another ship that was sailing without a single soul on board. Ellen Austin transferred some of its crew onto the other ship and attempted to sail with it to New York. The other ship suddenly disappeared. Later it re-appeared, but again without a person on board. Then it again disappeared without trace.
1909 - S.V. Spray was a derelict fishing boat refitted as an ocean cruiser by Joshua Slocum and used by him to complete the first ever single-handed circumnavigation of the world, between 1895 and 1898. In 1909, Slocum set sail from Vineyard Haven bound for Venezuela. Neither he nor Spray were ever seen again.
1999 - The cargo freighter Genesis sent a radio signal to a nearby vessel, indicating a problem with the bilge pump. Despite extensive searches by the Coast Guard, the ship and crew were never seen or heard from again.
2003 - A newly married couple Frank and Romina Leone went for fishing on their brand new 16-foot boat on June 18, 2003. They left from the Boynton beach inlet in Florida but never returned. The US Coast Guard eventually gave up the search & rescue operation after having combed a large part of the sea area for several days.
2015 - On October 1, 2015, the cargo ship SS El Faro became another tragic victim of Bermuda Triangle, the worst in over 30 years. 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, and started circling around the ship. Soon all communications from the ship went silent. And quite unbelievably and having created havoc on the sea, the hurricane went back out almost the same way it came from. After extensive search for weeks, the ship could be finally located sitting upright in one piece at a depth of about 15,000ft in the Atlantic, but there was no trace of any crew members.
2017 - The small private aircraft Mitsubishi MU-2B-40 with twin engine became another victim of Bermuda triangle on May 15, 2017 while flying from Puerto Rico (a corner of the triangle) to south Florida. Air traffic control at Miami lost radar contact with the aircraft at 2:10pm and the plane simply vanished with four passengers on board apparently when there was no weather warnings.

But the mysteries behind this tragedies may have been solved.

Washington: Strange clouds forming above the Bermuda Triangle could explain why dozens of ships and planes have mysteriously vanished in the notorious patch of sea.

The remarkable new theory suggests the clouds are linked to 170-mph "air bombs" capable of bringing down planes and ships, New York Post reported on Friday.
The riddle could finally be solved after meteorologists discovered bizarre "hexagonal"
shaped clouds between 20 and 50 miles wide forming over the dodgy patch of water.

Meteorologist Randy Cerveny said: "The satellite imagery is really bizarre... the hexagonal shapes of the cloud formations.

"These types of hexagonal shapes in the ocean are in essence air bombs. They're formed by microbursts and are blasts of air."

The blasts of air are so powerful that they can reach 170 mph a hurricane-like force easily capable of sinking ships and downing planes.
For centuries, the notorious Bermuda Triangle located between Miami, Puerto Rico and the island of Bermuda has been linked with a high number of unexplained disappearances of aircraft and ships in its waters.
