The Bermuda Triangle Legend

The so-called Bermuda Triangle is one of the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world. It’s hard to believe so much mystery could surround a single place.

But with its history of strange occurrences, the Bermuda Triangle has become a legend all its own.

The Geography

The Bermuda Triangle is situated in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean. It roughly spans the area between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, and is frequently used as a means of passage to ports in the Americas, Europe and the Caribbean islands.

History of Disappearance

Throughout the years, dozens of ships and airplanes have gone missing in the area. In many instances, they’ve just completely vanished — no distress signal, no evidence of any wreckage, nothing. Entire squadrons have simply disappeared.

The Devil’s Triangle

When Christopher Columbus set sail for the New World, he passed through the Bermuda Triangle and wrote about a “great flame of fire” that crashed into the sea. He also described strange lights and erratic compass readings.
