BERMUDA TRIANGLE
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is an undefined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. For decades, the Atlantic Ocean’s famous Bermuda Triangle has captured the human imagination with unexplained disappearances of ships, planes, and people. More than 1000 ships and planes have disappeared in the triangle area over the past five centuries and continue to do so. And all these happen when it appears that there are no human errors, equipment failures or even natural disasters. Strangely, the ships and aircraft just disappear when everything seems to be okay.

The three corners of the triangle are: Miami (Florida); San Juan (Puerto Rico); and Bermuda (the north-Atlantic island). Each side of the triangle is some 1000 miles long. But the area of the Bermuda triangle has different from one writer to the other. By the various definitions, it can be anywhere between half million to 1.5 million square miles.
The accidents have mostly taken place near the southern boundary of the triangle between Florida and Puerto Rico.
So the next question is why the name "Bermuda Triangle"?
At the time of coining the term, the first name that came up was "Miami Triangle". But Florida objected saying that they would lose visitors to Miami with such name as people would fear to come there. So the next name taken up was "Puerto Rico Triangle". Puerto Rico too raised objections. Then it was the turn for the 21 square mile small island Bermuda which forms the third corner of the triangle. And no one seems to have worried. Bermuda was then also known as the "Island of the Devils" which fitted to the triangle concept quite well and therefore the final name "Bermuda Triangle" was …show more content…
She used to work between London and New York over the Bermuda Triangle zone in the Atlantic Ocean. In 1881 during one of her London - New York trips, she met with another ship on the way which was moving in good speed. Strangely, the other ship had no one on the ship. In order to save this unnamed ship, the captain of the Ellen Austin sent some of his top crew on board this ship. When the crew arrived the ship, they in fact confirmed that there was not a single soul on board. The captain of Ellen Austin ordered the crew to guide the ship so that they could all sail together to New York. After two days, the two ships got separated by a huge sea storm. And when the storm subsided, the unnamed ship was gone and never seen
