Seven Mysteries of Bermuda Triangle

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:34:40 +0000

Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is a famous stretch of the Atlantic Ocean bordered by Florida, Bermuda Islands, and Puerto Rico that has been the site of strange disappearances throughout history. The Coast Guard does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle or supernatural explanation for the mysterious disappearances in the middle. There are several possible explanations for the missing ships, including hurricanes, earthquakes, and magnetic fields that interfere with compass and other navigation devices. But far more interesting to think if they are sucked into another dimension missing, abducted by aliens, or just disappear into the air.

1. Teignmouth electron
Who says that the Bermuda Triangle only swallows ships and planes? Who says it can not make people mad, too? Maybe that’s what happened in Teignmouth Electron in 1969. The Sunday Times Golden Globe Race in 1968 left England on October 31 and required each contestant to sail solo with his ship. Donald Crowhurst was one of the newcomers, but he never made it to the finish line. The electron was found abandoned in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle in July 1969. Who reached the finish logbooks reveal that Crowhurst was deceiving organizers about his position in the race. The news last June 29 – he believed that Crowhurst jumped overboard and drowned himself in the Bermuda Triangle.

2. The Spray
Joshua Slocum, the first person to sail solo around the world, should not have disappeared at sea, but apparently that’s exactly what happened. In 1909, Spray left the East Coast of the United States to go to Venezuela through the Caribbean Sea. Slocum was never heard or seen again and was declared dead in 1924. His boat was sturdy and Slocum is a professional, so no one knows what happened. Maybe he was crushed by larger vessels, or perhaps he was taken by pirates. No one knows for sure that Slocum disappeared in Bermuda waters.

3. Star Ariel
A plane like the Tudor IV Star Tiger left Bermuda on January 17, 1949, with 7 crew and 13 passengers on the way to Jamaica. That morning, Capt. JC McPhee reported that the flight was running smoothly. Shortly thereafter, another more subtle message coming from the captain, when he reported that he changed the frequency, and then nothing else is heard. More than 60 aircraft and 13,000 people had been mobilized to search for the Star Ariel, but not even the slightest trash or debris that has ever been found. After Ariel disappeared, Tudor IV is no longer manufactured.

4. Star Tiger
Star Tiger, led by Captain BW McMillan, flew from England to Bermuda in January 1948. On 30 January, McMillan said he expected to arrive in Bermuda at 5:00 pm, but neither he nor any of the 31 people on board the Star Tiger had ever heard from again. When the Civil Air Ministry launched a search and investigation, they learned that the SS Troubadour had reported seeing a low flying aircraft halfway between Bermuda and the entrance to Delaware Bay. If it is the aircraft Star Tiger, it would drastically. According to the Civil Air Ministry, the fate of Star Tiger is still an unsolved mystery.

5. USS Cyclops
When the First World War heated up, America also participated in the battle. USS Cyclops, commanded by Lt. GW Worley, who lives in the East Coast of the United States until 1918 when he was sent to Brazil to refuel Allied ships. With 309 people on board, the ship left Rio de Janeiro in February and reached Barbados in March. After that, the Cyclops was never heard from again. The Navy said in an official statement, “The loss of this ship has become one of the most puzzling mysteries in the history of the Navy, all attempts to find him had proved successful. There was no enemy submarines in the western Atlantic at the time, and in December 1918 every effort was made to obtain from German sources of information about the loss of the ship. “

6. Flight 201
This Cessna left Fort Lauderdale on March 31, 1984, with a route to the island of Bimini in the Bahamas, but never succeeded. Mid to the destination, the plane slowed down the speed significantly, but no radio signals are made from aircraft to indicate the pressure. Suddenly, the plane fell from the air into the water, completely disappeared from the radar. A woman on Bimini Island swore she saw a plane plunge into the sea about a mile offshore, but no wreckage ever found.

7. Flight 19
During the day December 5, 1945, five Avenger torpedo bombers left the Naval Air Station in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by Lt. Charles Taylor a commander and 13 student pilots. About one-half hour in flight, over the radio he said that the compass was not working, but he estimates that he was somewhere in Florida. Lieutenant who receives the radio signal ordered Taylor to fly north toward Miami, as long as he believes he is really on top of Floria. Although he was an experienced pilot, he received the terrible reality and the more he tries to get out of Florida, he and his crew went further and further out to sea.
At nightfall the radio signal deteriorates, until finally none of Flight 19. American naval investigated and reported that Taylor confusion caused disaster, but his mother convinced them to change the official report that the plane went down with an unknown cause.

Naturalist appeared to the ape man of the world this race had established the world’s first civilization on an island in the Atlantic Ocean, Atlantis. Most incredible of all his novels was not meant to be purely fantasy. They were based on idea which many Germans actually believed to be a fact. Edmund Kib published at least for novel seems to have been quite popular and Hitler was a big fan of them. Hitler believed that they were true to life and not a fictionalized representation what had actually happened. Edmund’s Atlantic City resembled that of Plato but in the place of fantastic temples in the center of the city he put a vast war office acclaimed plans for the Nazi’s rebuilding of Berlin. From here the purest and most noble Atlantean leaders ruled an empire that spanned from the perspective of South America to the classical civilizational grace.

It is certainly nowhere near the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Academic opinion remains divided. What this Greek archaeologists found was very important because he created the base for at least part of the story of Atlantis. That was very crucial. There is no comparison whatsoever between the people of Atlantis and the Minoans. The Minoans had a high level of culture but nothing extraordinary. It was a very open society and they had an empire but it was run by a fleet of which seems to fit the description of Atlantis at all. Nonetheless there is a group of people who stick firmly to the belief that Santorini was Atlantis, the islanders themselves. The Islanders of Santorini, the residence, obviously have a vast interest in making sure that tourists think that they have found the lost continent of Atlantis and by that you get to claim Santorini as one of the greatest spot on earth and you also get the sell a lot of T-shirts, mugs, and posters and everything that is possible with the word Atlantis on it.

The myth of Atlantis had come full circle, transformed from the story of an earthly paradise into the ideology behind the genocide and nightmare. Most of the men of the society skipped punishment for their role in their atrocities. Archaeologists who survived the war seem to have done a pretty effective cleanup job in the archives. Atlantis’ connection with the Third Reich was forgotten almost immediately. Nazi propaganda had harnessed the myth of Atlantis for deadly intent. But across the Atlantic mythmakers of an entirely different sort were also reinventing Atlantis as pure fantasy, Hollywood. Most famous of all Atlantis move it is probably the 1961 Atlantis the lost continent in which a humble Greek fisherman save the beautiful Princess Anthilia from the evil masters of Atlantis. But the lost continent was only the most memorable of all the adventure movies that continued to reinvent Atlantis.

When Schliemann discovered Troy it completely changed the way people look at the mythology and archaeology. The four Schliemann people thought that what Homer had written what fiction, he made this up, there was not really a city of Troy. But what Schliemann did was he a red Homer carefully and he figured out correctly where Troy would be located if you perform the literal translation of Homer. It was this astonishing find that persuaded Donnelly that if Schliemann could have discovered Troy by carefully reading Homer then he told might discover Atlantis by rereading Plato. Assessed in his quest Donnelly tirelessly search for Atlantis in everything around him until his thesis slowly began to emerge. Donnelly found evidence of Atlantis having existed in the similarity of plants, animals and ancient culture on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

Vern description of Atlantis located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and rounded by the volcanoes was so convincing that within a decade would inspire a writer half a world away to prove that Atlantis truly did exist. Here in his study in Minnesota, Donnelley who was a failed politician wrote one of the best sellers of his age making him the founding father of the modern hunt for the real Atlantis. His idea launched a wave of Atlantis mania that has been with us ever since. A former congressman and Lieut. Werner of Minnesota Donnelly had railed against the tycoons of the big businesses who control the politics of the day to think to champion the cause of the common man. His idealism unfortunately brought only political and financial disaster. He started a commune in Minnesota with a man and by the time it was over there was exactly one resident there and that was Donnelly.

But the island and its legendary riches were never found. Its name now lives on in a chain of islands in the Caribbean Sea the Antilles. When the Caribbean colony was established the rubble stood up against them. Columbus suffered the ultimate humiliation and will drive back to Spain in chains where he died a broken man in 1506. Though they realized the role that Columbus had played a central role in the history of Atlantis. they expected the sale across the ocean and bump into Japan but there was another a whole continent on the way and that therefore, especially because it was across the Atlantic Ocean, this gave rise to much more speculation about Atlantis. A good example of how the legend has been adapted or is different is that in the times of great discoveries one Columbus was in the Atlantic in the search off the spice Island he knew of the myths.

This was the Empire of Atlantis. The description that the Egyptian priest gave to Solon was that of a vanished civilization and is the starting point for every search to find Atlantis. A description which Plato says has the great advantage of being a fact and not fiction. Plato was very specific about where Atlantis was and what time it was and he described it as being larger than the continent of Africa and Asia put together and he located it very carefully outside of the Pillars of Hercules. The Pillars of Hercules are what we know now as the Strait of Gibraltar and when you locate something outside the Pillars of Hercules you are locating it in the Atlantic Ocean just to the west of Spain and North Africa. Atlantis was dominated by a vast and almost perfectly rectangular playing surrounded on three sides by high and very beautiful mountains.

The Mystery of The Giant Ship Crash

LONDON (Reuters) -

Author said in an interview published yesterday that the ship “Titanic” hit an iceberg in 1912 because of a fundamental error in directing the rudder and the ship sank quickly because the officials persuaded the captain to continue sailing.

Said Louise Patten – a writer and granddaughter of Charles Aatolr second officer of the ship Titanic – the truth of what happened 100 years ago was hidden because of fear of polluting the reputation of her grandfather, who later became a “war hero”.

And cover-up of Aatolr – the largest officer survived the disaster – the error during the two investigations have conducted on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean because it was feared that it causes in the bankruptcy of the owners of the shipping company bad luck and his colleagues keep their jobs.

Patten said the newspaper “Daily Telegraph” “they can easily avoid the iceberg without confusion.” She added: “Instead of running the helm of the Titanic safely to the left of the iceberg – once monitored directly in front of them – terrified steersman Robert Hitchens and around to the wrong direction.”

Patten said – that her remarks were fired in conjunction with the announcement of the new novel “Good as Gold” – that when the transition from sailing ships to steam ships there were two different systems to guide the rudder.

And one of the two systems would have required a difficult conversion in the direction of the wheel and the other in the opposite direction.

Patten said that after the discovery of error “was not in front of them only four minutes to change course in time, who discovered (first officer William) Murdoch Hitchens error and then tried to correct the time has passed.”

Patten’s grandfather was not present at the time of the collision, but was present at a recent meeting of the officers of the ship before the sinking of “Titanic.”

“So far experts have not drawn any conclusion on sound recordings,” says the report.

Pilots seem to be concerned about the clouds that appeared on radar near theplane. However, ”the meteorological situation was categorized as not disturbingthe master board.”

Immediately afterwards, the autopilot was disconnected.

In the absence of the master board, which had gone to rest, the pilot performed a maneuver remained ”vague and nervous”, the aircraft accelerating and climbing.

At one point, the pilot had “disordered action” to maintain the sleeves, expressing”surprise and misunderstanding about the information available.”

At one point, the commander returned to the cockpit and one of the pilots is heardsaying: ”We lose control.”

Experts have doubts about the data visible on the screen. ”I have no idea. It is avery high speed,” said another pilot. According to records, the pilots did not seemto realize that the risk plane into a dive or dive was.

“In addition, pilots have not found any solution even after warning alarms andlights,” says the report.

Airbus A330 of Air France crash off Brazil in June 2009, with 228 people on board. So far, the only technical problem detected is freezing speed sensors, butinvestigators believe that only this problem can not explain the accident.
