Bermuda Triange- by Justin

Bermuda Triangle

        The Bermuda Triangle is the greatest mystery to me. The Bermuda Triangle lies between Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Planes and ships vanish there. One famous vanishing in the Bermuda Triangle is flight 19.  The date of the disappearance is 9/6/1945. Five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers vanished during United Stats Navy overwater navigation training flight. All nine airmen on the flight died as well as the 12-crew member of a PBM Mariner flying boat that is assumed to have exploded in mid-air while searching for flight 19. Another incident in the Bermuda Triangle is the USS Cyclops on 3/4/1918. It is a Navy boat. 309 people died. Another disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle is a Douglass DC-3 passenger plane, number NC16002. It disappeared on 9/28/1948. Not a single trace of the aircraft was ever found or the 32 passengers. There are many more incidents. You can read about them on this hyperlink: Bermuda Triangle Do you know any other incidents. If so tell us. We’ll be glad to know.

I don't know much incidents but I know that there was a tornado at Taiwan. Do you know if there was any other incident or small injury? What is the USS Cyclops and the PBM Mariner flying boat? How many people died on flight 19 and do you know the name of all nine airman that will be cool to know.

Well, I have known about the Titanic. Many people drowned and the rest of the people did not survive because of its coldness. The Titanic crashed in a iceberg. There was an earthquake underwater that have caused a tsunami. It traveled about 120 miles per hour I think. There are many tornadoes in Kansas too. There were many earthquakes too .

Yes, I know some.A dynamite blast rocked the Bath Consolidated School in Bath Township, about 7 miles northeast of Lansing, Michigan on May 18, 1927. The bombings killed 45 people and injured 58, making it the worst school violence in U.S. history.
The blast destroyed the south wing of the building and killed 38 children and 8 adults. Subsequent investigation determined that an embittered school-board member, Andrew Kehoe, who was resentful of the higher taxes that resulted from the school’s construction in 1922 and which he blamed for the impending foreclosure on his farm, had planted the dynamite in the basement of the school. There werean additional 500 pounds of dynamite in the rest of the school that failed to detonate.
Soon afterwards, Kehoe took his own life and four bystanders, including the school superintendent Emory Huyck, by detonating dynamite in his truck as he sat parked in front of the school while rescue workers searched through the rubble.
The next morning, Kehoe's wife was found dead at their farm, apparently killed by Kehoe who had rigged explosives that burned down his house and other buildings on the farm before the school blast.
Apparently, Kehoe had spent much of that spring stringing wires and hiding dynamite in the basement of the 300-student school. Kehoe did not arouse any suspicion because he was known as a penny-pincher on the school board, and people assumed he was doing work himself to save the cost of hiring an electrician
On the morning of May 18, the last day of classes for the school year, Kehoe fixed a hinge on a school door as he greeted children arriving for classes. Then he got in his car, pulled back a few yards and waited. At 9:10 a.m., as students sat in class, a clock mechanism set off the school explosion. Thirty-six children and two adults died at the scene. Another 43 children suffered serious wounds, and 100 others were treated for shock, burns and cuts. Kehoe was quoted as saying to children as they got off the bus that morning, “So, this is your last day?”

I don't know about any incidents from the Bermuda Triangle other than the ones Ms. Lim read to us in the Library. I do know about other incidents like the Titanic and the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. Something crazy must be happening in the Bermuda Triangle that made all of those planes and ships disappear. It is creepy. Well, now I know a lot more about the Bermuda Triangle.

What an interesting blog post Justin!!!

The only incidents that I know of about the Bermuda Triangle is the DC-3 carrying 27 passengers in 1948 and a C-124 Globemaster with 53 passengers in 1951. Among the ships often listed among the mysteriously disappeared are the Mary Celeste (1872), the Marine tankership Sulphur Queen with 39 men aboard (1963), and the nuclear-powered submarine Scorpion with a crew of 99 (1968). The Mary Celeste entered the list of supposed Bermuda Triangle mysteries many decades after its odd tragedy. The ship set sail from New York to Genoa, Italy, but was found sailing unmanned some 400 miles off course, off the coast of Africa. Personal articles of the crew were found and food storage areas showed no sign of upheaval. A tattered sail and a missing lifeboat suggested the boat had encountered a storm, but the ship's log, in which information was recorded as late as nine days before the ship was found, made no mention of any kind of catastrophe.

There is no evidence, however, that the Mary Celeste ever entered the area of the Bermuda Triangle. Still, the eerie, unanswered questions concerning its fate are often cited by those who attribute a malevolent force as being responsible for odd and tragic events of the triangle.

Nevertheless, there are many documented disappearances that occurred within the triangle. They include a four-engine Tudor IV air-plane lost in 1948, with 31 aboard; an American freighter, the SS Sandra (1952), which sunk without a trace; a British York transport plane, disappeared in 1952, with 33 aboard; a U.S. Navy Lockheed Constellation airplane, vanished in 1954 with 42 aboard; a U.S. Navy seaplane, 1956, with a crew of 10; a French freighter in 1970; and a German freighter, Anita, lost in 1972 with a crew of 32. Those are some of the incidents that I know of. Some theories made by scientist are that there are alien abductions. a magnetic force, time warps, and the lost continent of Atlantis.

There are a lot of incidents other han Flight 19 in the Bermuda Triangle like Connemara IV. A yacht was found adrift in the Atlantic south of Bermuda on September 26, 1955. It is usually stated in the stories that the crew vanished while the yacht survived being at sea during three hurricanes. My sister says she does not believe in it and wants to go there. I am soo scared if we do. i guess I'll just have to tell her the incidents that happened so far so the same thing does not happen to my family. The website you gave us was really helpful.

Great Post Justin!!

I don't know that many Bermuda Triangle incidents, but I do know the tsunami in India. If anyone doesn't know, a tsunami is a GIANT wave created when the Earth shifts. All the water moves way back, and all of it turns into a giant wave. The wave is so big, that it kills hundreds of people. That's exactly what happened in India. The tsunami killed hundreds of people. Many people lost their homes, their families, and most people got an injury. People in India lost so much of their lives just because of the tsunami. Tsunamis are extremely dangerous to the world.

I don't really know about the Bermuda triangle but I remember the story about the Bermuda Triangle in the library.It is cool and a mystery to me.
Nice post Justin!

Edward said...

The most famous that I know about is Flight 19. On Discovery Channel they had a program about it. In it 1 of many theories was that one them ran out of fuel and had to ditch into the sea, the others as close friends also followed. Another theory was that they had illusions and landed on the water and drowned. Some other accidents were USS Cyclops and an U.S. Navy Lockheed Constellation airplane. Some other theories are
Alien abduction, weird gravitational forces, suddenly appearing reefs, underwater beasts, or GIANT whirlpools.

Anyways GREAT blog Justin!!!!

Well I don't know any other incidents that happened in the Bermuda triangle, but I think I watched something about a theory of the disappearance of Flight 19. It was something like the five bombers were sailing to this island, but then missed it and kept going until they reached this other set of islands and I think then they might have turned to the wrong direction in confusion and then they probably ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean and sank to the bottom of the ocean floor where people can't go to. Hey Justin, do you have any idea if they actually found at least one of the five bombers. It would be really cool if they did.

Nice post Justin!

I do know that some people bombed one of the twin towers and they also bombed the octagon and I also know that the titanic crashed into an iceberg and many people died and I know that there was a huge earthquake in Hati there are many more accidents but these are some of them that I know.

I do not know much, but my dad had said that the Bermuda triangle had something with its gravity that was the mysterious part. I think. I do not know about any incident but I do know about a tsunami in India. I do not watch the news so often so I do not know about many things happening around the globe.

A few days ago, the PG & E gas pipe burst into flames in the city of San Bruno, California, while people were asleep. This incident killed many people and burnt down hundreds of homes. It sends a wake-up call to the local communities about the potential danger in the future. Another big incident was about the deep water oil rig leaking millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. This incident killed may birds, seals, dolphin, and fish. It also has greatly destroyed the Gulf's ecosystem. We should learn the lessons and plan to avoid disasters like these.

I'm sorry to hear about those incidents. Did you know that people say they saw a giant U.F.O.? That might be the cause to the strange disappearing planes and ships. I have not heard of anymore accidents. There might be some new incidents, but the news might have not spread yet.
