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.
