The Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角) is in the Atlantic Ocean, near Florid in the USA. During the past 60 years more than 1,000 seamen in ships and pilots in the planes have lost their lives. It is known as The Triangle of Death for its strange sea water and sudden storm. What’s the strangest is the light of the sea water which looks
so bright that it can be seen even from an outer spaceship.
At 2:00 p.m. on December 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 it also disappeared.
One of the largest ships that had disappeared in the Triangle was an American coal ship, 500 meters 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 went there to see what it was really like in 1995, but nothing has been heard of them ever since.
