The Devil’s Location
Known as the demon’s location, Triangle of Bermuda is
a place with a triangular form that covers three different areas which are
Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. It has a size of 500,000 square miles to three
times that size,and according to legends, there were many people, boats, and
aircrafts disappearing on this area in a mysterious way.
The new legend of Bermuda Triangle started after the disappearance
of five navy aircrafts on a mission in 1945. After that time, mysterious
accidents still happened with the loss of more than 50 ships and 20 plans in
this area, and what makes these accidents mysterious is that everything
disappeared without a trace.
Over the time, the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle
became more famous because of articles, books, and television programs, but
there are who think that there is no mystery about the Bermuda Triangle and we
don’t have to explain the events happened there. As a result, these people don’t
need any scientific proofs which show that there is no secret about what happened
in this triangle because they are already convinced, so for these people “The
real mystery is how the Bermuda Triangle became a mystery “(Robert T. Carroll)
On the other hand, many theories were given to find
explanations concerning these mysterious events by different groups of people. For
instance, the fantasy writers thought about evils, evil humans, and the concept
of the fourth dimension…..The technicians thought about the existence of
methane gas in this area….Investigators had the ideas of
hurricanes,tsunamis,high waves, and other natural causes .
Even if these explanations are given to change the
mind of people, supernatural phenomena is a simple and easy answer for those
who are not ready to understand the work of scientific research. “But, it is
amazing how many supernatural things become natural when scientifically
investigated” (Howard L. Rosenberg).
The phenomenon of Bermuda Triangle influences many
fields such as entertainment, for instance on Australia there is an amusement park
which operated a ride with the name of Bermuda Triangle. Music also was
affected by this triangle, for example the composer Isao Tomita makes an album
called Bermuda Triangle. Not only Music, but films also were influenced by Bermuda,
and there were many movies made about this phenomenon.
Natural or Supernatural, everyone has the right to
make his own opinion about this subject, but what is sure is that Bermuda
Triangle will still a very interesting phenomenon that every generation will
hear about.
