Supernatural Mysteries in Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and surface vessels allegedly disappeared mysteriously. Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings..Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and numerous official agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean.
 History
The boundaries of the triangle cover the Straits of Florida the Bahamas and the entire Caribbean island area and the Atlantic east to the Azores. The more familiar triangular boundary in most written works has as its points somewhere on the Atlantic coast of Miami; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda, with most of the accidents concentrated along the southern boundary around the Bahamas and the Florida Straits.
The area is one of the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world, with ships crossing through it daily for ports in the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands. Cruise ships are also plentiful, and pleasure craft regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands. It is also a heavily flown route for commercial and private aircraft heading towards Florida, the Caribbean, and South America from points north.
Triangle writers have used a number of supernatural concepts to explain the events. One explanation pins the blame on leftover technology from the mythical lost continent of Atlantis. Sometimes connected to the Atlantis story is the submerged rock formation known as the Bimini Road off the island of Bimini in the Bahamas, which is in the Triangle by some definitions. Followers of the purported psychic Edgar Cayce take his prediction that evidence of Atlantis would be found in 1968 as referring to the discovery of the Bimini Road. Believers describe the formation as a road, wall, or other structure, though geologists consider it to be of natural origin.
Supernatural Explanation
Other writers attribute the events to UFOs. This idea was used by Steven Spielberg for his science fiction filmClose Encounters of the Third Kind, which features the lost Flight 19 aircrews as alien abductees.
Charles Berlitz, author of various books on anomalous phenomena, lists several theories attributing the losses in the Triangle to anomalous or unexplained forces

Compass variations

Compass problems are one of the cited phrases in many Triangle incidents. While some have theorized that unusual local magnetic anomalies may exist in the area, such anomalies have not been shown to exist. Compasses have natural magnetic variations in relation to the magnetic poles, a fact which navigators have known for centuries. Magnetic (compass) north and geographic (true) north are only exactly the same for a small number of places - for example, as of 2000 in the United States only those places on a line running from Wisconsin to the Gulf of Mexico. But the public may not be as informed, and think there is something mysterious about a compass "changing" across an area as large as the Triangle, which it naturally will.

Aircraft incidents


Incidents at sea

Incidents on land

  • 1969: Great Isaac Lighthouse(Bimini, Bahamas) - its two keepers disappeared and were never found.


My Opinion

 for this mysterious , historical and well-known strange story , i think when the pilots ,  captains or people who are crossing this Bermuda triangle, are scared so they can't drive safely and they act stupid. they are scared that they will be lost , or they carry very heavy loads so they sink ,or loss of gas

Do we really need to add two more years in high school?

low quality of education    VS.        time consuming

 

- low quality of education  

That just proves my point further: "most of the students finish their high school years without knowing anything". High school is an extremely under-stimulating environment.

- time consuming

 It would be too time consuming. The quantity will not affect the quality.

- low quality of education

 Adding two more years would be of great help to our students. The current student drop out ratio is due to low grades from either not being challenged enough or lack of interest in the current curriculum. In addition those that don’t move on to college find themselves in be lacking in knowledge and therefore have to take classes to catch up to the college curriculum. This provides for the idea of not just adding two years to high school but also moving some college level classes into high school. This would reduce the amount of money students would have to pay just to get caught up in their education.

- time consuming

i think it's not about how long a student studies...it's about how the teacher deliver each lesson and also the cooperation of the students...it does not mean that the longer you study the higher the quality of education...
