Bermuda triangle
| Морской словарь |
In contrast to the ancient origins of most myths and legends, that of the roughly triangular imaginary area bounded by the southern coast of florida and the islands of bermuda and puerto rico is relatively modern. its notoriety is based on the large number of ships and aircraft which have vanished there since 1800 without any trace of wreckage or survivors. also known as the “devil’s triangle,” it is one of only two places on earth where a magnetic compass points due north with no variation toward the magnetic pole. (the other, which lies off the east coast of japan, is also renowned for mysterious disappearances and japanese and filipino seamen call it the “devil’s sea.”) proposed explanations of these disappearances include extraterrestrial interference by visitors from outer space, interference by underwater-dwelling survivors from the lost continent of atlantis, and the action of physical forces hitherto unknown to science, including cosmic electro-magnetic effects, and timedistorting tunnels. the u.s. coast guard, however, is not impressed with supernatural explanations— pointing out that the combination of natural forces and human unpredictability outdoes even the most far-fetched science fiction. the caribbean-atlantic area has long been recognized for freakish weather, sudden fierce but local storms and waterspouts, and as a breeding ground for hurricanes. as early as 1596, sir walter raleigh complained of the region’s “hellish sea, thunder, lightening, and storms.” in addition, the interaction of strong currents with deep marine trenches and shallow reefs or shoals puts the ocean floor topography in constant flux, so that the development of new navigational hazards is rapid, while the swift and turbulent gulf stream can quickly erase any physical evidence of disaster. skeptics point out that many of the reported events actually occurred outside the triangle; some were preceded by reports of instrument failure or loss of power, and others happened during periods of unusual fog or strange sea conditions. in fact, scientific analysis bell 40 shows that the number and frequency of disappearances is not abnormal. nonetheless, the belief in paranormal influences is widespread and persistent.
