مثلث برمودا bermuda triangle
The Bermuda Triangle is an imaginary geographical area1 of
the Atlantic Ocean, which, according to legend, was the scene of a large number
of missing ships and aircraft. Nevertheless, this legend is based mainly on
erroneous, embellished or misinterpreted information and not on clear evidence,
since the triangle does not present statistically any anomalies1,2,3. According
to a World Wide Fund for Nature report in 2013, the Bermuda Triangle is not
among the most dangerous places for navigation3.

The geographical area represented by the Bermuda Triangle
is very fluctuating according to the narratives reported and the considerations
of the writers who described the mysteries related to this geographical area.
According to the authors, the area varies from 500,000 to 1.5 million square
kilometers2, which affects the number of disappearances reported there.
It was in February 1964 that Vincent Gaddis in an article
called "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle", defined in the pulp magazine
Argosy, the geographical area that covers the Bermuda Triangle2. This area is
located within a triangle formed by the Bermuda, Miami and San Juan archipelago
in Puerto Rico.
However, this geographical area is not recognized by the
United States Board on Geographic Names2.
The "mystery" challenged [edit | change the code]
In 1975, the American librarian Lawrence David Kusche
resumed all the testimonies on the subject. His book, The Bermuda Triangle
Mystery Resolved, shows, in particular, that a large number of disappearances
took place in places other than the Bermuda Triangle, and that the works on
this subject were mostly about speculation, if not inventions and falsehoods,
to maintain the pretended mystery.
The Naval Board of Inquiry, which studied the disappearance
of bombers in 1945, did not notice any inexplicable fact and did not mention
any of the radio transmissions reported by Charles Berlitz in his book on the
Bermuda Triangle. The planes, lost on mission, would in fact have been victims
of a fuel failure and could not communicate because of the too great distance
that separated them from their base. As for the missing ships, they would have
been caught in storms or victims of manufacturing defects that caused them to
sink without a trace. According to Kusche, all disappearances, far from being
mysteries as some authors claim, can easily be explained in terms of
meteorological conditions, technical problems or natural accidents (gas,
corals, etc.).
The reported number of disappearances is not particularly
high, taking into account the following factors:
• the area (nearly 4 million km2);
• the importance of maritime traffic in the area;
• the magnitude of methane hydrate deposits and tectonic
activity in the region;
• weather conditions, chaotic and unpredictable in these
latitudes.
Several alleged shipwrecks have subsequently proved to be
mere mystifications. For some, the mystery remains to be clarified. For others,
there is no mystery, except perhaps the spread of the legend on the basis of
such thin facts.
A documentary broadcast in 2003 by the National Geographic
channel17 does not mention any particular anomaly measured in this area, except
for a slight decrease in the terrestrial magnetic field. On the other hand, it
reminds us that there are the most violent storms of the globe, sometimes with
waves of villains eight meters and higher. With respect to Vol 19, it is the
hypothesis of a navigation error of the instructor, formed in the Keys and
having confounded the topography of the areas flown over with them to the point
of believing that his magnetic compass was which is retained as the most
likely. The planes moved away from the coast thinking they were headed in the
right direction and probably fell. The fact that the aircraft had landed far
from the coast explains why they were never found.
In 1975, the Lloyd's insurance firm in London indicated
that the "Bermuda Triangle" was no more dangerous than other
international shipping routes18. In 2006, insurance companies do not consider
it necessary to increase their premiums for ships or planes driven through this
area.
