The Bermuda Triangle

On a bright, clear June day a plane, passing through what is

called the Bermuda Triangle, sends a SOS signal to the tower.

Suddenly, the radio contact suffers a break, the plane never makes

contact again. One can only imagine what happened to those people

aboard the aircraft, many may say that the disappearance concerned

UFO.s, while others say that it had to be a mistake. Yet, there appears

to be another explanation, they were victims of the .Devil.s Triangle..

.It was described as a place where ships sail off the end of the earth,

where planes climb up into the sky never to come down again, and

where sailors and airmen disappear forever..(Winer xiii) Even though

this area consumes ships and planes .at a rate of 40 to 50 a

year.(unknown 9), Ralph Stephen, a scientist at the Woods Hole

Oceanographic Institution insist that .There.s absolutely nothing

scientific supporting the phenomenon[Bermuda Triangle]. There.s

nothing mysterious there. (unknown 9). If nothing were there, the

unexplainable could be explain and century old mysteries solve, yet no

reasonable explanation has come forth, therefore the Devil.s Triangle

lies waiting for its next victim.

The Bermuda Triangle/Devil.s Triangle covers about 1,140,000

sq. km (about 440,000 sq. mi.) between the island of Bermuda, the

coast of southern Florida, and Puerto Rico. Actually, .The Devil.s

Triangle. is not a triangle at all. It is a trapezium, a four-sided area in

which no two sides or angles are the same. And the first four letters of

the word trapezium more than adequately describe it.(Winer 9). This

stretch of sea usually generates fair weather and good seafaring water

conditions, these conditions make it hard for some to understand why

so many ships and planes seem to disappear in this area.

The Bermuda Triangle has been around for many centuries.

Actually, it began way before America was named America, it began

with Christopher Columbus. .It is mentioned in the great explorer.s

chronicle that the night before the history-changing discovery, he and

his crew saw what appeared to be a greenish glowing light that at

times would move about. Anthropologists theorize that what he saw

were cooking fires in fishing canoes of Carib Indians moving up and

down in the waves…But no matter what it was, Indians, illusions, or

UFO.s, that the mariners saw on that night in 1492 along the eastern

fringe of the Bahama Islands, strange and unusual things have been

happening in that area ever since. (Winer xiv). Two years after his

first trip to the new land Columbus set foot on America soil again. He

having sailed the ocean blue once before, noted the wind blowing from

the west. This happened to alert his inter-intelligence, for he warned

Bobadilla against setting sail for Spain. Needless to say Bobadilla

refused to take heed of the warning. From the crews of the five

surviving vessels out of twenty-seven ships that began their joinery

from Hispaniols to Spain, we learn what happened as they passed

through the .Triangle.. .Rain moved perpendicular to its proper

direction. Sails disintegrated. Masts snapped. Men screamed. Others

knelt down to pray…Then without warning the wind and rain were

gone. All was still but the sea. The sun burst through wind-driven

clouds. And half the fleet was gone. (Winer 26-7). The men thought

that they were in for safe sailing from there on out, they had no way of

knowing what was going to pounce on them like a mad, starving tiger.

.Again lightning flashed, but there was no sound of thunder. The

shrieking winds drowned it out. Paint was blasted from hulls…by the

driving rain. (Winer 27). Had their captain only listened to Columbus.

warning, he may have saved his men and himself the pain and

suffering that came next. .Caravels smashed together and sank as

one. Those who open their eyes into the wind-driven rain had their

eyeball splattered out of the sockets…bodies were masses of torn

flesh…Mouths that opened to scream spewed forth blood instead of

words…Those dying prayed to live. Those living prayed to die. (Winer

27-8). Of the seventeen ship that were lost, no one has been able to

find any trace of them, therefore they are considered the first victims

of the .Bermuda Triangle..

Not only did the disappearances increase since Columbus. time,

they get harder to explain. There are many unexplained vanishing

associated with the .Bermuda Triangle., such as the case of Herbie

Pond. Herbie was a rumrunner in 1931, he was then considered one

of the best aviators, especially in the rumrunner industry. On a bright

sunny day Herbie landed in a pasture to rid himself of the booze he

was carrying. After he and the buyers were through with business he

checked the fu
