It is roughly surrounded by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. This imaginary triangle is one of the most mysterious and dangerous areas of the earth's oceans. It is responsible for the disappearance of numerous ships and planes. Next

24. Many planes have vanished without a trace. One of these tragic stories took place on a sunny day 67 years ago. Five Navy planes took off from their base in Florida on a routine training mission, known as Flight 19. Neither the planes nor the crew composed of fourteen young American pilots were ever seen again. Another tragic story is the disappearance of the Star Tiger and the Star Ariel planes. One plane was not heard from long before it would have entered the Triangle. Douglas DC-3 with 32 people on board is as well one of the countless tragic loss of flights that were lost in this triangle. Next

25. This Triangle is not only responsible for the unexplained disappearances of many planes, but it is also blamed for the mysterious loss of several ships and people. A good example of this is the Mary Celest. It is an abandoned cargo ship which was discovered in 1872 in the Atlantic Ocean. Its disappearance took place despite the fact that the weather was fine and the crew was very experienced. Indeed, the cargo was untouched and the personal belongings of passengers and crew were still in place, including valuables. The crew was never seen or heard from again. Next

26. The mysteries surrounding the disappearance of boats and planes in the Bermuda Triangle are the subject of many unproved theories. Could this not just be a case of human error, or weather conditions? Or is it something far more sinister? The problem is still unsolved. However, it will still excite and fascinate a lot of people who like to listen to legend stories! Go back to main slide
