Bermuda Triangle
built 393 days ago
The Bermuda Triangle is a conundrum that has baffled man for more than a century. Whether it exists or not, the explanation for these mysterious disappearances will never be fully ascertained. The ghost still lingers and the questions that remain are unsettling at best. All of the ships and planes went down over tranquil waters and clear skies. All carried radio and rescue equipment and yet no distress calls and no debris, with very few exceptions has ever been found. Several books, including "The Limbo of The Lost" by William Spencer and "The Bermuda Triangle" by Charles Berlitz, have been written on the subject and at least one movie, "The Devil’s Triangle", has been made.

Bermuda Triangle is a remake of the Atari game of the same name. The object is to collect treasures from the ocean floor and return them to the water surface. As the screen scrolls, you'll need to avoid mines, UFOs, enemy vessels, coral reefs and laser beams. Your sub can shoot and moves swiftly while no treasure is being carried. When you collide with an obstacle or touch an enemy or their shots they damage you and make you drop your treasure. Three hits lead to destruction of your vessel.

The Bermuda Triangle has many storms (Hurricane Katrina formed there), and many of the disasters that supposedly happened in clear weather did not. Many disappearances and disasters did not even happen in the Bermuda Triangle. Others happened before the days of ship-to-shore radio, and the further back they happened the more difficult it is to find reliable information.

The modern legend of the Bermuda Triangle began soon after five Navy planes [Flight 19] vanished on a training mission during a severe storm in 1945. The most logical theory as to why they vanished is that lead pilot Lt. Charles Taylor’s compass failed. The trainees' planes were not equipped with working navigational instruments. The group was disoriented and simply, though tragically, ran out of fuel. No mysterious forces were likely to have been involved other than the mysterious force of gravity on planes with no fuel. It is true that one of the rescue planes blew up shortly after take-off, but this was likely due to a faulty gas tank rather than to any mysterious forces.

The Bermuda Triangle is supposedly a "gateway to other dimensions"(Carnegie), but it is not. The Bermuda Triangle stretches from San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Bermuda, and then to Miami, Florida. It is 14,000 square miles(36,260 square kilometers). Some say that planes, boats, and people have "disappeared." In fact about 50 people have supposedly "disappeared." Although, most of this can be explained by waterspouts, extreme air turbulence, electromagnetic storms, and powerful ocean currents, there are two major occurrences that started the myth: the major one, Flight 19, and the minor one, Mary Celeste.

The term "Bermuda Triangle" was first used in an article written by Vincent H. Gaddis for Argosy magazine in 1964. Gaddis claimed that several ships and planes had disappeared without explanation in that area. The article was expanded and included in his book, Invisible Horizons: True Mysteries of the Sea (1965), where he described nine mysterious incidents and provided extensive detail. Many newspapers carried a story in December of 1967 about strange incidents in the Bermuda Triangle after a National Geographic Society news release brought attention to Gaddis's book. The triangle was featured in a cover story in Argosy in 1968, in a book called Limbo of the Lost (1969) by John Wallace Spencer, and in a documentary film, The Devil's Triangle, in 1971. Charles Berlitz's 1974 bestseller The Bermuda Triangle marked the height of the disaster area legend, but some of its sensationalized claims were quickly proved inaccurate.
