Mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle

Whenever the Bermuda Triangle is mentioned thoughts turn straight away to the mysterious disappearances of ships and planes when travelling through the region. The region first received notoriety when investigators suggested that an external cause could be the reason why the vehicles disappeared. The comments like these proved a field day for conspiracy theorists and hence the mystery surrounding the region evolved.

The mysteriousness was fuelled by the fact that no wreckage was found when the first aircraft disappearances took place. However, new research has now been conducted focusing on the late 1940’s and found that many errors could have contributed to the planes loss. Mainly due to late arrival of search and rescue teams at the site.
