bermuda triangle

Bermuda Triangle mystery is very famous. I personally think it is quite true. Here is an interesting incident that was quite widely reported in newspapers..... Star Tiger and Star Ariel Another well-known loss is that of two four-engine Tudor IV airliners named Star Tiger and Star Ariel. The two aircraft, operated by the airline British South American Airways Corporation, routinely flew the route from South America to Bermuda. The incident occurred in the pre-dawn hours of January 31st, 1948. Carrying twenty-nine passengers and crew on board and piloted by Captain B. W. McMillan, the airliner Star Tiger had left hours earlier from Santa Maria, Azores, one of the numerous scheduled fuel stopover points on its route from London, England to Havana, Cuba. While approaching Bermuda, McMillan made the expected contact with Kindley Field, the next stopover, requesting a radio bearing to calibrate his navigation systems and ensure he remained on course. With the response indicating that the plane was slightly off course, its position was corrected after Bermuda relayed a first-class bearing of 72 degrees from the island. At this point, with Star Tiger less than two hours flight away, McMillan gave confirmation of an ETA of 05:00 hours, an hour late due to strong headwinds. No further transmission from the aircraft was ever received.[8] Armed with precise reports of the plane's last known position, rescue operations were launched after the craft was determined overdue for arrival and no trace was ever found. In the report issued soon thereafter by the Civil Air Ministry, numerous hypotheses as to what might have occurred during the flight's final two hours are given, before each being subsequently rejected: "There would accordingly be no grounds for supposing that Star Tiger fell into the sea in consequence of having been deprived of her radio, having failed to find her destination, and having exhausted her fuel. "There is good reason to suppose that no distress message was transmitted from the aircraft, for there were many radio receiving stations listening on the aircraft's frequencies, and none reported such a message. "...The weather was stable, there were no atmospheric disturbances of a serious kind which might cause structural damage to the aircraft, and there were no electrical storms." It was ruled that the aircraft could not have gone off course, as the broadcast bearing from Bermuda, with winds prevailing, would have brought it within thirty miles of the island: "The aircraft could hardly have failed to find the island in a short time, in the conditions of visibility which prevailed." Engine difficulty was ruled out as a likely cause, since at such late stage in the flight, without the added weight of extra fuel aboard, the aircraft might have been flown safely on three, or even two engines, instead of the four it had. The probability of the aircraft entirely losing three engines in the course of under two hours was considered absurd. Faced with the accumulation of evidence, or perhaps lack thereof, the board of investigation addressed the loss of the Star Tiger with remarked eloquence: "In closing this report it may truly be said that no more baffling problem has ever been presented for investigation. In the complete absence of any reliable evidence as to either the nature or the cause of the accident of Star Tiger the Court has not been able to do more than suggest possibilities, none of which reaches the level even of probability. Into all activities which involve the co-operation of man and machine two elements enter of a very diverse character. There is an incalculable element of the human equation dependent upon imperfectly known factors; and there is the mechanical element subject to quite different laws. A breakdown may occur in either separately or in both in conjunction. Or some external cause may overwhelm both man and machine. What happened in this case will never be known and the fate of Star Tiger must remain an unsolved mystery." On January 17th, 1949, the Star Ariel also went missing in the area near Bermuda, without a trace, with 17 passengers and crew. Her last transmissions showed no signs of distress, and dictated a normal flight. The second disappearance prompted the cessation of use of the Tudor IV aircraft. What actually happened to both planes is unknown to this day.[

Bermuda triangle is pulling object because it is very deep on that part.
