MALAYSIA
AIRLINES FLIGHT MH370
MIGHT BE IN BERMUDA
It's barely two
days since Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished in mysterious cirumstances,
but already the conspiracy theories about its disappearance are rife.
Starting with this
recenttragedy, IBTimes UK recalls a selection of similar stories
regarding aircraft-related incidents down the years.
Malaysian
Airlines flight MH370 disappeared at 17:30 GMT Friday (01:30 local time
Saturday) On route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. It reported disappeared from
radar screens south of Vietnam. Malaysia Airlines had previously said it last
had contact with air traffic controllers 120 nautical miles off the east coast
of the Malaysian town of Kota Bharu.
Malaysian officials have said that radar signals suggest the plane may
have turned back. The air and sea rescue teams that have been searching an area
of the South China Sea south of Vietnam for more than 24 hours have now
expanded their search to land on the west coast of Malaysia.
Air safety experts are investigating whether the Boeing 777 could have
been the target of a terrorist attack. Malaysia's transport minister,
Hishammuddin Hussein, said two names on the passenger list were
"suspect". The passengers using stolen passports – one Italian and
one Austrian – were both booked on the same onward flight from Beijing to
Amsterdam on Saturday.
BUT onether question in the heads of hundreads is that "is it new bermuda triangle?" first let's start with
what is bermuda triangle?
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is an undefined
region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean,
where a number of aircraft and ships are
said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. According to the US Navy,
the triangle does not exist, and the name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names.[1]
Popular culture
has attributed various disappearances to the paranormal
or activity by extraterrestrial beings. Documented evidence
indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were spurious,
inaccurately reported, or embellished by later authors. In a 2013 study, the World Wide Fund for Nature identified the
world’s 10 most dangerous waters for shipping, but the Bermuda Triangle was not
among them,
The first
written boundaries date from an article by Vincent Gaddis
in a 1964 issue of the pulp magazine Argosy where the triangle's three vertices are in Miami, Florida peninsula;
in San Juan, Puerto Rico;
and in the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda. But subsequent writers did not follow this
definition, Some writers give different boundaries and vertices to the
triangle, with the total area varying from 1,300,000 km2
(500,000 sq mi) to 3,900,000 km2
(1,500,000 sq mi). Consequently, the determination of which accidents
have occurred inside the triangle depends on which writer reports them. The United States Board on Geographic
Names does not recognize this name, and it is not delimited in any
map drawn by US government agencies.
The area is
one of the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world, with ships
crossing through it daily for ports in the Americas, Europe, and the
Caribbean Islands. Cruise ships are also plentiful, and pleasure craft
regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands. It is also a
heavily flown route for commercial and private aircraft heading towards
Florida, the Caribbean, and South America from points north.
