Bermuda Triangle

Every loss it the worst thing. In terms of numbers, the vessel Glomar was lost with a crew of 81. Or the largest, the vessel Berge Istra of 227,912 tons.

Additional Information:

The Glomar Explorer, built by CIA for the purpose of retrieving a sunken Soviet nuclear sub, was launched in 1972. It was launched under the name 'Hughes Glomar Explorer'; the CIA knew that a ship of that size and capacity could not be kept secret from the Soviets, so they made an agreement with Howard Hughes to use his company, Global Marine Development Inc., as a cover for the expedition. The mission was successful, most of the Soviet K-129 was retrieved to study the Soviet technology. When the mission was completed, In 1978, it was leased by an oil consortium for exploration and in 1997 was converted into a deep sea drilling rig. The Glomar Explorer is currently on leased to Marathon Oil for drilling offshore Indonesia; that lease goes through to 2012.

The Glomar Challenger was launched in 1968 under contract between the National Science Foundation and The Regents, University of California. For 30 months the ship was used for drilling and coring in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans as well as the Mediterranean and Red Seas. The purpose of the Glomar Challenger was scientific exploration. From 1972 until 1983, the ship was used to study the earth's crust, the formation of mountain ranges, earthquakes, and deep sea trenches. In 1985, the ship was retired and replaced by a ship with more modern equipment. Because of the many successful accomplishments of the Glomar Challenger, parts of the ship, such as its dynamic positioning system, engine telegraph, and thruster console, are stored at the Smithsonian Institution.

The MS Berge Istra was a Norwegian ore-bulk oil carrier, built in 1972 in Croatia. It was lost in the Pacific Ocean (not the Atlantic) near Mindanao, Philippines in 1975 with a loss of 30 people and two rescued from a life boat. The suspected cause of the loss was residue oil in the cargo hold where iron ore was stored, resulting in an explosion. The sister ship the MS Berge Vanga, also a carrier of ore and oil, disappeared under similar circumstances four years later enroute from Brazil to Japan (nowhere near the triangle). The loss of life for the Berge Vanga was 40. The two disasters halted the practice of dual use carriers.

I personally find these true accounts far more interesting than the myths. The research to find the real information was not hard with use of the internet. Try it sometime.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean (an imaginary line drawn from Miami to Bermuda to Puerto Rico) in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels are alleged to have mysteriously disappeared in a manner that cannot be explained by human error, piracy, equipment failure, or natural disasters. Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings.

A substantial body of documentation reveals, however, that a significant portion of the allegedly mysterious incidents have been inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and numerous official agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean.

This research is quite pending, but for now we can say that he is there. According to Scientific point of view we've got the best example of Flight 19. In recordings they said" We are heading to the Cloudy Tunnel", after all they got quite.

According to Islamic point of we've also got one best example. It is about one of the companions of Prophet. He got lost, although after some he saw a man full of hairs, he went straight to him and tried to speak with him. The companion asked him" who are you", he replied "come with me there is a man waiting for you".They went there and saw a huge giant and was chained up with huge chains. The giant asked him some questions that were:

1. Is Emam Ehhdy born?

2. Is that river wet yet?

After all the companion answered him, then the giant said " my time has came, I'll be there soon".

The Bermuda triangle was made by people with a map, a ruler, a pencil, and a fertile imagination. The first use of the term was in a 1964 article published in 'Argosy' by Vincent Gaddis called 'The Deadly Bermuda Triangle'.

Then in 1974, two books were published, 'The Bermuda Triangle' by Charles Berlits and 'The Devil's Triangle' by Richard Winer. These books turned out to be very popular and the idea caught on, making this an excellent subject to sell books and magazines. These two books were the source for the popular terms.
