Bordering Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico, the Bermuda Triangle is considered one of the most mysterious places in the world . In recent times, dozens of ships, planes and hundreds of people have mysteriously disappeared while passing through this dangerous sea area. One of the most mysterious disappearances that occurred in the Bermuda Triangle was Flight 19 on December 5, 1945. At 2:10 p.m. that day, five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers carrying 14 people took off on a routine training mission from the US Naval Air Station in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Under the command of Lieutenant Charles Taylor, Flight 19's mission was to fly a three-leg triangular route with some practice bombing runs over Hen and Chickens Shoals. All five TBM Avengers mysteriously disappeared during the mission. Not only that, a rescue plane was deployed to search for 5 TBM Avenger torpedo bombers and their crew members who also mysteriously disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle. To this day, researchers and scientists are still trying to decipher the causes of mysterious disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle to avoid similar tragedies.
According to research by scientists, the Bermuda Triangle has some strange characteristics. Among them, this place is one of two places on Earth (along with the Devil's Sea off the east coast of Japan) where true north and magnetic north coincide. This can cause compass readings to become inaccurate. Next, the Bermuda Triangle also contains some of the world's deepest underwater trenches. Researchers speculate that some wrecks of ships and planes may lie there and have not been found due to the difficulty of access. Much of the seafloor in the Bermuda Triangle has an average depth of about 5,791m. Near the southern tip is the Puerto Rico Trench, which reaches a depth of 8,229m below sea level at one point.
Dangerous shoals and reefs are scattered along the continental shelf. Strong ocean currents over reefs pose potential navigational hazards to ships and aircraft. Additionally, unpredictable storms can create waterspouts or waves higher than 2 meters that can sink vessels passing through the Bermuda Triangle.
