2. What is this?
Disappearance, mysterious
accidents and failures - all
these events took place in
the so-called. Bermuda
Triangle - the zone that is
considered one of the most
secretive on the Earth.
Some people believe that
the phenomenon of
breaking the laws of physics
takes place in this area.
3. What do we already know?
In this dangerous area, the extent of which covers
the area from Puerto Rico to Miami via Bermuda,
accidents happened. The accidents are difficult to
explain. Some people believe the Bermuda
Triangle is a mysterious area, there are also those
who believe that this area interacts with powers
that are unknown . The powers come from
paranormal factors or alien civilizations.
4. First articles!
• In 1950, the agency "Associated Press," published an article
whose author described the strange cases of disappearances
of airplanes and ships in the Bermuda Triangle region. A
similar article, which also focused on the strange incidents that
occurred in the vicinity of the "devil triangle" was published in
1952 in the journal "Fate", which specializes in topics relating
to paranormal phenomena. Text of George Sand, entitled
"Marine mystery at our back door," focused primarily on the
disappearance five U.S. bombers (designated as Fly 19),
which participated in the training mission, and the wrecks have
not been found. The crew disappeared on Dec. 5, 1945. The
author of the article suggested that a key role in their
disappearance has the area of the Bermuda Trinagle. It is
believed that it was George Sand's article which started the
whole wave of publications about accidents that have
occurred over the area.
5. Louder and louder…
Stories about the legendary place
began to become louder, when in
1962 an article about Flight no 19
appeared in the journal "American
Legion". A dialogue between two
commanders of the ship which
disappeared on 5th December 1945,
was placed in the text. One of the
commanders said words like these: '
We are heading the white water,
nothing looks properly. We don't
know when we are. The water is
green, not white'.
6. More ships.
• Coming soon began to appear more
publications, where the authors wrote
about the enigmatic disappearances .
Vincent Gaddis in the text for the
magazine "Argosy", entitled "Deadly
Bermuda Triangle," pointed out that all the
disappearances were associated with
difficult to explain events. Authors of more
books about the mysterious zone caused
fame of supernatural phenomena
occurring near Florida.
• There are also researchers who are trying
to solve the mystery of the Triangle in a
scientific manner. According to them, bad
weather, and navigation equipment defects
are responsible for numerous accidents.
7. The scientific reason
• Last year it was loud because of the research of Russian
scientists, who reported that they were able to explain the
riddle of the Bermuda Triangle. Experts from the branch of
the Russian Academy of Sciences, said then that the key
to explain the riddle Triangle is high tectonic activity in this
region. By shifting and cracking the Earth's crust below the
seabed escapes under a great pressure of huge quantities
of natural gas. When the ship comes, it loses balance and
sinks. This is a result of large changes in the density of
water and methane-filled cloud, which arise as a result of
the release of subsurface gases. As we know already from
the 80s of the twentieth century, under the surface of the
ocean there are huge deposits of gas.
8. Today…
Today, the number of
missing ships and
planes is about a few
hundreds. It is
estimated that the
forces of the ocean
took more than two
thousand people.
Most of the pilots and
sailors on the
password "Bermuda
Triangle" are dipped
by a cold sweat.
9. Dark Secret ...
From 1840 to 1971 in the vicinity of Bermuda

disappearances of ships or aircraft caused great
interest in this place, but it is still not explained the
phenomenon.
