10 Shocking Facts About The Bermuda Triangle!! by Nobody: 9:21am On Oct 13, 2015 |
[b]Bermuda Triangle is the greatest unsolved
mystery of the modern age. Also called
Devil's Triangle. It is a triangular shaped area in the North Atlantic Ocean, from Bermuda Island to Miami, USA and Puerto Rico. Hundreds of people and numerous boats, ships and planes have disappeared inside this triangle. Reasons given for these disappearances vary from scientific to sheer myth. Here are 10 Shocking facts about Bermuda Triangle: Fact No. 1: The Bermuda Triangle is not small. In fact, it is quite large and covers an area of 440,000 miles of sea. This is larger than the combined area of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh & Maharashtra. Fact No. 2: The triangle is certainly not fixed and its effect can be experienced outside of the triangle too. Fact No. 3: The disappearances are ascribed to UFO's and alien activity, city of Atlantis lost under the triangle, and various other technical, natural and geographical reasons. Fact No. 4: Whenever any plane or ship disappears in the Triangle, its debris cannot be found. The reason behind this is that Gulf Stream runs near the triangle, which quickly gets rid of the debris. Fact No. 5: At least 1000 lives are lost within the last 100 years. On average, 4 aircraft and 20 yachts go missing every year. Fact No. 6: Inside the Bermuda Triangle, US Government has AUTEC (for Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center), which is located on the Andros Island of Bahamas. Here US Navy tests their submarines, sonar and other weapons. However many are of the view that it is more than just the testing center. Fact No. 7: People have experienced electronic fog in the triangle, which can be a Time Travel Tunnel too. Pilot Bruce Gernon claims he lost 28 minutes after flying through a time-warping cloud tunnel. The plane went missing from radars, only to re-emerge in Miami Beach. (Source: The Fog by Bruce Gernon.) Fact No. 8: One of the biggest and famous losses of US Military occurred in 1945. Five US Navy Avenger torpedo bombers flew from Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a sortie to the island of Bimini. The mission had 14 men. After about 90 minutes, the radio operators received a signal that the compass was not working. After that the communication was lost. The bombers were never found. The three planes that went for their rescue also disappeared. Fact No. 9: The first person to report about Bermuda Triangle was Christopher Columbus. He wrote in his journals that inside the triangle, the ship's compass stopped working and he also saw a fireball in the sky. Fact No. 10: Bermuda Triangle is one of the rare places on earth where the compass does not point towards Magnetic North. Instead of that, it point towards true north, which creates confusion and that's why so many ships and planes lost its course in the triangle ![]() 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Devil's triangle is an understatement. Call is the Axis of Evil. Anyways, waiting for Dan Brown (Author of Da Vinci code) to demystify it. It has become a tradition of his to debunk popular claims in all of his books. I read where he said UFOs don't exist. They are experiments the US carry out to upgrade their military, and the drivers are usually programmed robots. Well, I am tempted to believe him o. Any reason why I shouldn't? 1 Like |

Raymondenyi: You're the wrong person here. Bermuda triangle exists. Although the OP did some copy and paste that were wrong assertions. There's nothing mysterious about the Bermuda triangle, the unusual thing about the area is the existence of magnetic fields that makes the navigation compass of both planes and ship malfunction. The wrong readings by the pilot tends to make them try to find the right direction which causes an unending movement in the triangle till the jet fuel is exhausted and the plane crashes as the Bermuda is a very large area. Contrary to people's opinion lots of planes go through that direction, it's a very busy air route because it spans outskirts of Miami, Bermuda island and Puerto Rico. There are ways to get around it. |

henribj:There's nothing wrong with the triangle, you can live on the water if you want to, the only problem is the magnetic field which makes compass and radio device malfunction, making it a deadly zone for planes and ships, as they'll be practically lost. 1 Like |
