The
Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角)is in the Atlantic Ocean, near Florida in the USA. During the past
60 years, more than 1,000 seamen in ships and pilots in planes have lost their
lives. It is known as “The Triangle of Death”for its strange seawater and sudden storms. What's the strangest is
the light of the seawater, which looks so bright that it can be seen even from
an outer spaceship.
At
2:00p.m. on Dec. 5, 1945, five planes took off in fine weather from the airport
of Florida, on a training task. Two hours later, the leader in the sky radioed
that he was “completely lost”.
Then there was silence. Another plane was sent to look for them and also
disappeared.
One
of the largest ship that had disappeared in the triangle was an American coal
ship, 500meters long. The weather was good, and there were no messages for help
before it was “gone”. No broken
ships or dead bodies have been found so far.
No
one is able to tell how all these accidents have happened. A group of Japanese
scientists were there to see what it was really like in 1995, but nothing has
been heard of them ever since.
