What Is The Bermuda Triangle Conspiracy

The Bermuda Conspiracies
Nimra Durrani
In December 1945, a group of five U.S. Navy avenger torpedo bombers known as “Flight 19” disappeared in the Atlantic off the coasts of Miami, Florida, Bermuda and San Juan, Puerto Rico. That created the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle as people wondered what happened to Flight 19.
“The strange events of December 5, 1945 have since become fodder for all manner of wild theories and speculation. In the 1960s and 70s, pulp magazines and writers such as Vincent Gaddis and Charles Berlitz helped popularize the idea that Flight 19 had been gobbled up by the “Bermuda Triangle,” a section of the Atlantic supposedly known for its high volume of freak disappearances and mechanical failures.

According to his log, on October 8, 1492, Columbus looked down at his compass and noticed that it was giving weird readings. He didn’t alert his crew at first, because having a compass that didn’t point to magnetic north may have sent the already on edge crew into a panic. This was probably a good decision considering three days later when Columbus simply spotted a strange light, the crew threatened to return to Spain.”
“The area referred to as the Bermuda Triangle, or Devil’s Triangle, covers about 500,000 square miles of ocean off the southeastern tip of Florida. When Christopher Columbus sailed through the area on his first voyage to the New World, he reported that a great flame of fire (probably a meteor) crashed into the sea one night and that a strange light appeared in the distance a few weeks later. He also wrote about erratic compass readings, perhaps because at that time a sliver of the Bermuda Triangle was one of the few places on Earth where true north and magnetic north lined up.”
The Bermuda Triangle is one of the most unusual and hazardous areas in the ocean. It also is one of the two places on Earth that a magnetic compass doesn’t point towards the True North. It usually points toward the Magnetic

In other cases, the ships and planes were real enough — but Berlitz and others neglected to mention that they "mysteriously disappeared" during bad storms. Other times the vessels sank far outside the Bermuda Triangle.”
In May 1991, The Bermuda triangle was announced to be real and right off the coast of South Florida. Undersea explorers also announced that month, that they may have discovered the five Navy planes that mysteriously vanished in 1945.
“Just as the skeptics were about to claim a logical explanation, the legend of the Bermuda Triangle today was declared to be alive and well and vexing off the coast of South Florida. The undersea explorers who announced last month that they might have discovered five Navy planes that vanished mysteriously in 1945, laying a foundation for the myth of a craft-swallowing Caribbean twilight zone, said that on closer inspection, the planes they found turned out not to be those of the fabled "Flight 19."”
According to some people, there’s fog in the Bermuda triangle that captures ships and planes that go across the triangle. The pilots think they’re traveling through the fog so it causes them to crash or lose control. That’s also what caused Flight 19 to be

    Why talk about Anderson v GMC or even Keck v Wesley Medical Center? Because staffing is still an issue. It will become more of an issue as reimbursement continues to be curtailed. Moreover, as patient ratios are increasingly mandated, and studies of the impact of nurse staffing on patient outcomes are providing a growing body of knowledge, it is not only possible but likely that now that we can know what is safe hospital leadership will be held liable if they do not maintain safe staffing levels. Indeed, in the Keck case, it is important to note that Keck never filed a suit or even a claim against the nurse assigned to her care. Making a profit at the expense of human life and well-being is and always will be an issue that is directly impacted…

    On September 25, 1978, I was a 16-year-old inspiring young pilot going to high school within 10 miles of San Diego’s Lindbergh International Airport. It was about nine a.m. and clear skies when I noticed a large towering black cloud of smoke to the northwest. Minutes later, our High School Teacher informed us that two planes just collided over downtown San Diego. Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) flight 182, a Boeing 727-214 carrying 135 passengers collided with a Cessna 172 with two on board crashed 3 miles northeast of Lindbergh field over the San Diego community of North Park. PSA flight 182 originated as a routine regularly scheduled early flight from Sacramento International with 35 PSA employees on board deadheading to San Diego.

    In early July of 1947, most likely around July 4th or 5th, something crashed to the Earth in the high desert of eastern New Mexico (Carey & SChmitt, 2009). Mac Brazel, a ranch hand on the J.B. Foster ranch, went to check on his sheep one morning after a series of severe thunderstorms. He was concerned about the wellbeing of his cattle because he heard a very loud explosion the night before during the storm. Upon riding out to the pastures, Brazel discovered a huge amount of strange debris scattered across the fields. Not knowing what this strange debris was, Brazel gathered some of it and showed it to his friends…

    Once and his men reached the sandy beaches of the island, he got of his ship and took a couple of his men with him to meet the strange people. When Columbus was a few feet away from the people, he could see that they wore bright pieces of something on their noses, neck, and ears. They shined blindingly in the sun, and he immediately recognized it as gold. He had found it! He knew he had to find a way for the strange people to tell him or at least lead him to where gold was, but he didn’t have enough time to start thinking. While Columbus stared (more like gawked) at the people, they to had stopped what they were doing to stare at the…

    Didn’t you hear what the pilot said? About the atom bomb? They're all dead." (Golding 16). It made me think that the plane that crashed was trying to get away from something that was happening and maybe the reason for the crash was that someone tried blowing it out of the sky and kill the people on board. I also think that the "something" they were running from was a war between two countries and all the people on the plane were from a war-zone trying to escape.…

    Area 51 Conspiracy

    • 1334 Words
    • 6 Pages

    A land within Area 51, known as the Nevada Triangle, is unforgiving and deadly. Steve Fossett was a record breaking aviator that was also a victim of the triangle (Winter 1). The millionaire’s strange and sudden disappearance first seemed to be too good to be true, so astonishing that the public blamed himself, and then later, aliens. Over three hundred and sixty five days had passed before experts were able to find the cause of the pilot's death after finding remnants of the plane crash. The truth was that the geography of the area had beaten the record breaker himself (Winter 1). Geography and climate are the said reasons for the death of the pilot. Combining Pacific winds and vertical mountainsides, a phenomenon known as the Mountain Wave is formed. For this purpose, the winds have the strengths to pull aircrafts out of the sky during mid flight. (Winter 1). If our United States Government gave Steve Fossett the authority to operate a plane on the day of his death in a land that is not even supposed to exist, then they are responsible for his death and…

    Christopher Columbus’ claim to fame is discovering the New World, but he did so in a serendipitous fashion and completely unbeknownst to him. At the time, many countries were in search of valuable routes to India, which bypassed the Cape of Good Hope on the southern tip of Africa. When Columbus set sail in 1492 to find one of these heralded trade routes, he stumbled upon one of the greatest discoveries in history: the New World. Without hesitation, Columbus wrote to his benefactors and sovereign the King and Queen of Spain to praise the many riches of the islands he uncovered.…
