Claims its victims without warning. Stretching from Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda, it is more than 500,000 miles wide. To some it is known as the Devil's Triangle, but to others it is known as the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle is a pilot or ship captain's worst nightmare. Two of the major disappearances in the Triangle are Flight 19 and the USS Cyclops. Flight 19 was a group of US Navy bombers in training. They lost the communication signal and disappeared beyond the triangle. USS Cyclops had the same communications problems. They both lost their way and somehow ended up in the Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle has many mysteries, but there are logical explanations for these disappearances. They say they come from nowhere. A fog that disturbs compasses and other electronic equipment on ships and airplanes. The electronic fog is known to have claimed many of the Triangle's victims. The story of Flight 19 is truly bizarre. These are five Avenger torpedo bombers that were carrying out a training session. On his way back to Ft. Lauderdale, Lieutenant Charles Taylor begins to ask his second in command for help. Taylor continues to ask Edward what his compass reads. “I don't know where we are. We must have gotten lost after the last turn." (Taylor 54) Taylor finally admitted that they were lost. Both compasses he had were out of order. Radio transmissions picked up Taylor saying he wasn't far enough to the east. Taylor had brought his crew eventually changed course trying to find their way back He led the crew further out to sea instead of landing them on a small island they had seen miles earlier traces have gone cold.On December 5, 1945 the search was terminated.(66) This was... half of the paper... gave the Bermuda Triangle fame and glory our unexplored oceans, what else is out there? The USS Cyclops and Avenger torpedo bombers may be right under our noses are still many uncharted territories that could harbor many unexplained mysteries.
