1, Canada's "Chizhou Island":

There are many islands in the North Atlantic off the east coast of Canada, one of which is called Sibal Island, which can absorb ships coming and going. According to local people, hundreds of ships have sunk here in the past few hundred years. Strangely, however, there are many shipwrecks here not because it is a dangerous beach, nor because there are often bad weather such as typhoons and rainstorms, nor because there are icebergs here. So what is the reason?

1967, a French-Canadian ship crashed into an island in sable and sank, only one sailor was rescued [3]? . According to him, when the ship was about to sail for Canada, all the instruments suddenly failed. The sailors started at full power, but the ship did not move. Then, the ship slipped to the island and sank slowly, and finally sank completely. He hugged a piece of wood and swam to the shore desperately, but he always felt that there was a huge force behind him. Fortunately, he finally climbed up the coast and was rescued by a rescue helicopter.

2. Russia's "Riyadi Triangle":

Russia's Pskov region is known as the "Riyadi Triangle", which is well known. 1928, seven loggers disappeared here, even the axe disappeared; 1974, a group of mushroom pickers from Leningrad mysteriously disappeared in the "Ghost Valley". Two weeks later, two of them were found, but they couldn't tell the whereabouts of the other five ... So far, scientists still can't solve the mystery of "Li Yadi Triangle".

3. Atlantic Bermuda:

On June 1 2009, an Air France plane with 228 people on board lost contact with the ground shortly after taking off. After days of searching, the Brazilian military found some wreckage in the Atlantic Ocean. Coincidentally, the plane crashed in the same sea area as the famous Bermuda Triangle. In fact, apart from the mysterious Bermuda Devil's Triangle in the west of the North Atlantic, there are many mysterious places in the world that make people feel terrible.

I Bermuda Triangle

1, definition:

Bermuda Triangle is located in the southeast of Florida Peninsula in North America. Specifically, it refers to the East Atlantic triangle formed by the connection of Bermuda, Miami, USA and San Juan, Puerto Rico, each side is about 2000 kilometers long. Abnormal phenomena that are difficult to be explained by existing scientific and technological means or normal thinking logic and reasoning methods often occur in this sea area, so in modern times, it has become synonymous with mysterious and incomprehensible disappearances. The ghost of Bermuda is regarded as the scourge of sailors.

Some people who fear ghosts and gods are shocked at the mention of Bermuda Triangle. Scientists believe that the long-distance radio navigation system has been disturbed in Bermuda waters, and the volcano that has already died at the bottom of the sea still retains a considerable part of magnetism, which can make the compass disorder and malfunction. The factor of magnetic interference has increased the sinking coefficient, and even the exploration ship has fallen into this magic cave many times.

2. The origin of naming:

E.V.W.Jones first mentioned that the Bermuda Triangle disappeared in 1950. As the gossip of the Associated Press cable TV service, it is about the recently missing ship. Jones's report recorded the mysterious disappearance of ships and planes in this area and blamed the incident on the "Devil's Triangle".

Subsequently, the author George? x？ Sand also reported the incident in 1952, summed up several incredible fleet disappearances and published them in Destiny magazine, but the Bermuda Triangle (Bermuda? The word triangle was not used by Vincent until 1964? Gaddis first appeared in an article in Merchant Fleet magazine. Besides, the translation of "Bermuda Delta" is wrong.

3. Geographical environment:

Bermuda Triangle is located between Bermuda Island on the west side of the Atlantic Ocean, straits of florida and Puerto Rico Island at the eastern end of the Greater Antilles. Most of them are located between 20 and 30 north latitude and belong to the north tropics. It is mainly controlled by tropical air mass throughout the year, and the northeast trade wind prevails. There are many tropical hurricanes in summer and autumn, and the wind roars, often forming a water wall with a height of more than 10 meters, and you can often encounter tornadoes at sea, which can suck seawater to a height of several thousand meters and cast a terrible shadow on the beacon cover.

Moreover, the Bermuda Triangle is located on the northern edge of the crustal fault zone between North and South America, where volcanic and seismic activities are very strong and the seabed topography is very complicated. Below the Bermuda Triangle, most of them are North Asian-American basins with a depth of less than 6000 meters; In the north, it is the Bermuda Plateau protruding from the Sichali Basin; in the west and southwest, it is a vast continental shelf close to the mainland and islands; in the south, it is the Puerto Rico Trench with a depth of 9215m.

In addition, there are obviously prominent peninsulas such as Florida Peninsula and Yucatan Peninsula near the Bermuda Triangle, and the relatively closed Gulf of Mexico surrounded by peninsulas. There are many islands and straits: Bahamas, Greater Antilles and Lesser Antilles, 1200 islands. These islands face the vast Atlantic Ocean, shielding the Caribbean Sea and greatly increasing the complexity of ocean currents. The Atlantic North Equatorial Warm Current turns northwest near the Antilles and crosses the Bermuda Triangle. In addition, the Florida current flowing from the Gulf of Mexico through the straits of florida is very strong, with a width of 150km, a depth of 800m and a daily velocity of 130 ~ 150km.

Such a "mighty army" also crossed the Bermuda Triangle. The ocean currents in Bermuda Triangle are complex, strong and fast, and the wrecked planes and ships will be swept away by the powerful ocean currents even if they don't sink to the bottom of the sea. Bermuda Triangle is a part of the sargasso sea, and the sea surface is covered with brown algae, mainly Sargassum, which is not conducive to navigation. Different writers have different views on the specific location of Bermuda Triangle, and the area of Bermuda Triangle also changes with different works.

4. Historical traceability:

The first person who ventured across the Bermuda Triangle in human history was Columbus, a world-famous navigator. In A.D. 1502, the ocean-going fleet led by Columbus sailed to America for the fourth time. When the fleet approached Bermuda, there was a sudden gust of wind on the sea, and the ship seemed to sail between the canyons, and the sun could hardly be seen. Columbus, who had rich sailing experience, turned the fleet around and tilted to the Florida coast to avoid this violent storm.

To Columbus' surprise, all the navigation instruments on the ship failed at this time, and the helmsman and sailors were confused and confused. Fortunately for them, the fleet finally got rid of the dangers from peaks and valleys. Upon inspection, the pointer direction of the magnetic compass on the ship has deviated 36 from due north to northwest.

The frightened Columbus described this dangerous experience in his letter to the king. In the letter, Columbus described this thrilling sailing adventure like this: "At that time, the waves rolled, and for eight or nine days in a row, my eyes could not see the sun and stars ... I have seen all kinds of storms in my life, but I have never encountered such a long and violent storm!" Because Columbus's experience at least belongs to those that can be explained, it failed to attract enough attention at that time.

The earliest record of the mysterious disappearance of Bermuda Triangle ships and sailors was in 1840. At that time, a ship, Rose Classic, which set out from France and carried a lot of perfume and wine, lost contact after sailing near Cuba. A few weeks later, the navy discovered the rosary in the Bermuda Triangle. The ship was not damaged, there was no one on board, and all the crew members disappeared.

But the goods in the cargo hold are intact and the fruit is still fresh. However, no one can answer why all the sailors on board are missing. The only creature on board is a canary half starved. No one knows what happened on the ship. Since then, similar disappearances have occurred frequently in the Bermuda Triangle.

5. Reason hypothesis:

So far, the interpretation of Bermuda Triangle can be summarized into the following categories:

The first view: these disappearances are caused by supernatural reasons and are related to whether the flying saucer of aliens is working.

The second view: this is caused by natural causes, such as geomagnetic anomalies (caused by magnetic fields), seabed cavities, and even some people put forward the views of bubbles, clear sky turbulence, water bridges, black holes and so on, and explained the Bermuda Triangle with some strange natural phenomena.
