Know 16 facts about Bermuda Triangle known as the Devil's Triangle


Know 16 facts about Bermuda Triangle known as the Devil's Triangle
 1-
Does the Bermuda Triangle really exist?
According to United States Coast Guard the Bermuda Triangle or Devil’s Triangle is a mythical geographic area located off the southeastern coast of the United States. It is noted for an apparent high incidence of unexplained losses of ship, small boats, and aircraft.

The Coast Guard does not recognize the existence of the so-called Bermuda Triangle as a geographic area of specific hazard to ships or planes. In a review of many aircraft and vessel losses in the area over the years, there has been nothing discovered that would indicate that casualties were the result of anything other than physical causes. No extraordinary factors have ever been identified.

The U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard contend that there are no supernatural explanations for disasters at sea.  Their experience suggests that the combined forces of nature and human fallibility outdo even the most incredulous science fiction. They add that no official maps exist that delineate the boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle.

As per Coast guard they do the inquires and many times they found contradicting incidents written by the Bermuda authors.

In one such incident involving the 1972 explosion and sinking of the tanker SS V. A. Fogg, the Coast Guard photographed the wreck and recovered several bodies, in contrast with one Triangle author's claim that all the bodies had vanished, with the exception of the captain, who was found sitting in his cabin at his desk, clutching a coffee cup. In addition, V. A. Fogg sank off the coast of Texas, nowhere near the commonly accepted boundaries of the Triangle.

Maritime insurance leader Lloyd’s of London does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an especially hazardous place.

According to research by Rear Admiral George van Deurs, USN, who was familiar with this type of ship from their service in the USN, the acidic coal cargo would seriously erode the longitudinal support beams, making these aging and poorly constructed colliers extremely vulnerable to breaking up in heavy seas.They were both sister ships of the USS Cyclops.

We also believed that Bermuda Triangle existed, when we were young. There were many stories on how the ships and planes that went over that area simply disappeared. But now we know the truth :)
