The Bermuda Triangle
The three points of the triangle (三角形)known as “the Bermuda Triangle” are Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico.From 1945 until the present day over 1,000 lives have been lost in this area without trace (痕迹,踪迹)─ no bodies have ever been found!
The most remarkable (显著的)loss was a group of six US Navy planes in 1945.Five of these were on a training flight from Fort Lauderdale Naval Air Station when they seemed to lose their way and simply disappear.
Many small boats and light aircrafts have vanished (消失)in this area.But so have large ships.What makes these losses even more mysterious (神秘的)is the fact that hardly SOS signals are ever received from the ships and boats which disappear.Also, these things happen in good weather and without warning.Ships just seem to vanish into thin air.This fact has led some people to suggest all sorts of strange explanations.For example, some people believe that the planes fly into a “hole in the sky” from which they are unable to escape.Others think that the ships that have disappeared have been the victims (牺牲)of beings from outer space who have snatched (攫取)them from the surface of the sea and taken them to some unknown world!
More reasonable people say that the large number of losses in this area can be explained more simply.They say that the extreme weather conditions which occur in this part of the world are the reason why so many ships and planes disappear in this area.For instance, huge freak (反常的,奇异的)waves can form quite quickly and these can crush (压碎,碾碎)a ship before it has time to escape.Also waterspouts are found in this area.These are similar to cyclones (过滤器)but because they are over the ocean they form a great column of water which can be over 60 meters high.They could destroy a small ship or plane.
Some people point out that the Bermuda Triangle is one of the two places on earth where a magnetic (有磁性的)compass does not point towards magnetic north and that because of this, navigators (航海家)often find themselves off course and in danger.
Some people even say that the Bermuda Triangle does not exist and that all the accidents that have happened there are simply coincidences.
