The Legendary Bermuda Triangle: A Mystery No More
For years, people have believed that an area of the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Florida, the US was a dangerous place. They thought planes and boats passing through here were likely to disappear (消失). By l964, a writer had called the area the“Bermuda Triangle”. The name stuck, and so did the mystery.
In 1945, five US Navy planes, called Flight 19 took off from Florida and never came back. After they disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle, different ideas had begun to spread that the area was a dangerous place.Even before this famous flight, several ships had disappeared in these waters. People had many different ideas about why this happened.
However, scientists believe that weather is part of the problem. Unusually shaped clouds above the area create strong winds that go down into the water, creating huge tsunami waves that can take down boats or low-flying planes. And many researchers believe that there’s no mystery at all. Ships go down and plane accidents happen all over the world. It just seems to happen more in the Bermuda Triangle because there’s more traffic.
The Bermuda Triangle is also one of the deepest areas of the Atlantic, with some areas being 8 km deep. So, remains are hard to find, which makes the disappearances seem even more mysterious.
In 2011, the Flight 19 planes were found, showing that they didn’t completely disappear. But no matter how much evidence (证据) there is that the Bermuda Triangle is no more dangerous than any other part of the ocean, many still believe that you mustn’t go there.
