The Bermuda Triangle is an area in the Atlantic Ocean between Florida, Puerto Rico, and the Bermuda Islands, known for many years as a mysterious place where ships and planes disappear. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
However, it is emphasized that there are scientific and verified explanations for more than 70 incidents that have occurred in this region. Scientific experts and specialists in the maritime field state that the statistics in this area do not differ from movements in other parts of the ocean.
Lloyd’s of London insurance company has not classified the Bermuda Triangle as a dangerous area. Likewise, official statements from the U.S. Coast Guard and NOAA have rejected claims that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently here.
There are main factors that pose danger in the Bermuda Triangle. One of them is huge waves, sometimes reaching heights of 20-30 meters, which can engulf large ships in an instant.
The second danger is the speed of the Gulf Stream current, which complicates navigation and slows down rescue operations. The third is human error.
For example, in the famous "Flight 19" incident in 1945, it was revealed that the group leader lost direction and flew toward the open ocean. Natural changes in the magnetic field also play an important role in navigation processes.
Magnetic declination and the shifting of the agonic line can cause compass readings to be incorrect, leading to errors. These situations are constantly taken into account in military and aviation navigation rules.
The factor that has turned the Bermuda Triangle into a mysterious and mystical place is mostly popular culture. Books, movie scripts, and various legends have distanced events from reality.
Where scientific evidence exists, mystery disappears, but people continue to crave good stories. According to Australian scientist Karl Kruszelnicki, the fact that people believe in these legends is itself another mystery.
Because facts show that the flow of ships and planes passing through the Bermuda Triangle is very large, so the likelihood of collisions, technical malfunctions, and human error is also high. In conclusion, the Bermuda Triangle is not a mysterious area but a place where natural laws, navigation rules, and human factors combine.
Legends may spread widely, but the strongest tool to dispel them is scientifically based explanations and logic.
