The Bermuda Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle Mystery
I. The Bermuda Triangle has been responsible for numerous queer incidents ever since the 19th century. Ships and planes have mysteriously disappeared when entering these perplexing waters. Is the Bermuda Triangle really a place of mysterious danger or is it just a result of coincidence?
II. Navigational tools and compass malfunctions are frequently reported when in the Bermuda Triangle areas and no real scientific explanations have been provided.
A. Mysterious Disappearance of Flight 19
1. Compass malfunctions, the pilots could not locate where they exactly were.
2. Bermuda Triangle is one out of only two places on earth where the compass points to true north rather than magnetic north. (Agonic line once passed through Bermuda triangle, which people blame for compass malfunctions, but now it is somewhere near the Gulf of Mexico.)
B. Christopher Columbus’s discoveries while exploring the Atlantic Ocean 1. His compass went super haywire.
2. Scientists say that Columbus had just met with “magnetic variation” or that his compass had been disturbed by some other close-by magnetic force.
III. Ghost and abandoned ships have been found lurking in these waters. Ships and planes mysteriously disappear in this area and no wreckage or signs of them has ever been found.
A. Mary Celeste — the Ghost Ship 1. The ship was found off the coast of Portugal with no one on the ship. 2. There are many plausible theories for this bizarre incident, such as, piracy, insurance scam, storm, and a possible threat of explosion on the ship. However, none of these theories have any real, strong evidence. B. Ellen Austin 1. The ship came across a ship on its trip from London to New York. Strangely, there was no one on the ship although the ship was moving at a good speed. The captain on Ellen Austin sent a skeleton crew to man the ship and planned for the two ships to sail side by side to New York. However, a storm
