The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is the cause of many unexplained disappearances that happened within its boundary. One of the many mysteries of the triangle is Flight 19. Five Avenger planes vanished without even a single trace. What happened to Flight 19, did aliens actually abduct the planes? Or is there another explanation as to how they disappeared?
The Bermuda Triangle is situated in the Atlantic Ocean. It is formed by an imaginary line that forms a triangle. The points that form the triangle starts from the island of Bermuda; then to San Juan, Puerto Rico; and then finally to Miami, Florida. The scope of the Bermuda Triangle varies roughly from 500,000 square miles to about more than a million square miles.
One of the famous mystery disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle is the famous Flight 19. It was December 5, 1945 and while doing their routine patrol they vanished. Flight 19 consisted of five Avenger torpedo bomber planes, each with a three-man crew. However, one of the crew did not show up that day, and so with fourteen crewmen, they took off for their scheduled routine patrol.
They took off without any problems. The weather was pleasant and they were fully equipped and ready. Until 3:45 p.m., the tower operators in Fort Lauderdale received a bizarre message from the flight leader, Lt. Charles Taylor. Lt. Taylor reported that they could not see land and that they were off-course. He also reported that they were lost. Baffled, the tower operators told Lieutenant Taylor to go westward, but he answered that they did not know which way west was.
This baffled the tower operators further. At 4:25 p.m., they received a new message from the Avengers...

  • Why Is The Bermuda Triangle A Hoax

    This region, spanning anywhere from 500,000 to 1,000,000 square miles is “Used extensively by numerous cruise lines and airlines connecting The USA, Europe, Caribbean islands, Bermuda, South America and even Africa” (Bhattacharya). This is because the triangle is located right next to America, a wealthy part of the world, and near the equator. After the phrase ‘The Bermuda Triangle’ was first coined by Vincent Gaddis in 1964, the area became a key destination point for tourists, avid researches, and thrill-seekers. Because of the high amounts of travel, there will obviously be more accidents that occur, whether by coincidence or natural cause. In a statement by Australian scientist Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, “According to Lloyds of London and the US coast guard, the number of planes that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on a percentage basis” (Christodoulou). It is estimated that 1,000 people have died or disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in the last 100 years. This only amounts to ten people per year, which is not enough to claim that the triangle is somehow ‘haunted’ and ‘mysterious’. The deaths or disappearances that happen are just as many as other areas in the ocean. The large-scale travel that occurs in the Bermuda Triangle not only supports reasons why it is a hoax, it also disproves any contradicting

    In the Triangle, planes have gone missing, people have disappeared never to be found, and horror stories arise when the Triangle is discussed. The history behind the Bermuda Triangle still continues to baffle many, leaving men and women abroad to question why strange things happen in that portion of the ocean. Although many stories and legends about the Bermuda Triangle prove to be true to some extent, paranormal Methane gasses, magnetic pulls, and disruptions due to earthquakes and volcanoes are to blame for the many disappearances throughout the past couple of years. Even though every worry about the triangle can be scientifically backed up, commercial airlines such as Southwest, United, and American Airlines dare not to go near the triangle. The only planes that attempt to fly over the triangle are if a private or personal aircraft wanted to risk it all to be.
