The Bermuda Triangle
Reading and Discussion
The Bermuda Triangle, an area of the Atlantic Ocean, is a legend of its own. The ways
that the boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle are defined vary with different writers.
Some authors allege that the Bermuda Triangle is shaped like a trapezoid and includes
the Straits of Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean islands, and the waters to the east of
the Azores. Others include the Gulf of Mexico as being part of the Bermuda Triangle.

The area included in the Bermuda Triangle has ships crossing through it daily. It is one
of the most heavily used shipping lanes in the world. Many cruise ships and pleasure
ships regularly sail in this area. Many airplanes also fly over it because it is a heavily
traveled route for commercial and private flights. The Bermuda Triangle is sometimes
called the Devil’s Triangle, because many planes and ships have disappeared there.
While some attribute these disappearances to human error, natural disasters, and
equipment failure, others attribute them to the paranormal. Paranormal is a term that
describes unusual experiences that lack a scientific explanation.

The first mention of the Bermuda Triangle is in an article written by E.V.W. Jones on
September 16, 1950, published through the Associated Press. Two years later, an
article by George X. Sand detailed the loss of several planes and ships within the
Bermuda Triangle. Sand’s article was the first to describe the triangular area in which
these losses took place. Other authors wrote on the paranormal nature of the area.
Some of these were: John Wallace Spencer, Charles Berlitz, and Richard Winer.

Lawrence David Kusche, a research librarian from Arizona State University,
challenged those who wrote about the Bermuda Triangle as if it had some sort of
paranormal explanation or power. Kusche wrote a book called “The Bermuda Triangle
Mystery: Solved”. His book detailed inaccuracies in the previous accounts and
attempted to explain the disappearances rationally. His book was an attempt to prove
that there was nothing paranormal about the Bermuda Triangle.

Kusche’s book explained that the number of ships and planes reported missing in the
Bermuda Triangle was not proportionally greater than any other part of the ocean. He
also said that the area was frequented by tropical storms, which could easily explain
many of the disappearances. He concluded that the legend of the Bermuda Triangle
was a mystery manufactured by writers using faulty reasoning. But some still believe the
Bermuda Triangle is filled with paranormal activity, and supernatural concepts have
been used to explain different events that have occurred in the area. One explanation
argues that the Bermuda Triangle is affected by the technology of the lost continent of
Atlantis, and others even attribute the disappearances to UFOs.

Despite the many paranormal explanations for disappearances within the Bermuda
Triangle, there are many natural explanations as well, including deliberate acts of
destruction such as piracy, human error, and the effects of the Gulf Stream.
