The Bermuda Triangle name makes different accidents look like the work of one hidden culprit
The Bermuda Triangle has no official boundary, yet its name gathers losses with different causes into one group and makes them look like the work of one hidden culprit. The label answers before anyone asks, so storms, currents, equipment faults, human decisions, and the real traffic across those waters fall out of view.
Read in Vietnamese →The Bermuda Triangle is an imaginary area drawn between Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Twentieth-century books and magazines collected vanishing ships and aircraft there and blamed magnetic forces, Atlantis, or space portals. NOAA and the U.S. Coast Guard state it plainly: the area has no official boundary, and no evidence shows that it has more accidents than other busy waters.
On December 5, 1945, five U.S. Navy training aircraft left Fort Lauderdale. Their leader radioed that the formation was struggling to determine its direction. Weather turned for the worse, fuel drained away, and all five aircraft lost contact. A rescue aircraft also disappeared while searching for them, possibly after an explosion in flight. Fast-changing weather, the strong Gulf Stream, deep water, and heavy traffic hide wreckage here more effectively than in many other waters. Even an accident with records this full gets pulled into a larger picture by the Bermuda name.
