On March 6, 1918, a multi-ton ship Cyclops disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle. On board there were 390 people and a large batch of ore. Even the President of the United States joined the search, but found nothing. The Bermuda Triangle is a mysterious place.
The sea of the devil
It is significant that the disappearance of the Cyclops ship in 1918 was not explained by the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle for more than half a century since the incident. The first article on the phenomenon appeared only in 1950. Its author was American journalist A. Jones. He called his material in an original way - "The Devil's Sea". The publication did not produce the desired effect, they did not start talking about the Bermuda Triangle with aspiration and fear. So they began to speak only in 1974, when Charles Berlitz's book "The Bermuda Triangle" was published. To say that the book was greeted "with a bang" is to say nothing. It became a bestseller. Supported by the popular researcher David Kusche, it even began to be perceived as a real theory, although Kusche himself called the phenomenon of the Burmud Triangle "A magnificent fairy tale for adults."
Victims of the triangle
There are not many proven victims of the Bermuda Triangle. That is, those who disappeared under truly mysterious circumstances in this area of the ocean. Half of the cases described years after the event betray a clear ignorance of real information about weather conditions. A common figure: the weather was calm, and suddenly the ship disappeared. Some of the missing ships did pass through the Bermuda Triangle, but there is no evidence that they disappeared there. In a number of cases, the authors of articles on the Bermuda Triangle deliberately suppressed information that could easily and simply explain this disappearance. All in all, we can talk about about forty "victims" of the Bermuda Triangle. This is taking into account the fact that the creators of the myth - journalists, began to "investigate the problem" from the end of the 19th century. Only forty cases in more than a century, although more than a dozen planes all over the world still fall in a year.

Versions
Proponents of the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle have put forward several dozen different theories to explain the mysterious phenomena that, in their opinion, occur there. These theories include assumptions about the abduction of ships by aliens from space or the inhabitants of Atlantis, movement through holes in time or rifts in space, and other paranormal causes. It has been suggested that the cause of the death of some ships, including in the Bermuda Triangle, may be the so-called wandering waves, which are believed to be up to 30 meters high. It is also assumed that under certain conditions, infrasound can be generated at sea, which affects the crew members, causing panic, as a result of which they leave the ship.
Only the sea and God know what happened to this ship
The Cyclops story is closely related to US President Woodrow Wilson. Thus, which for the organization of the Financial Reserve System flaunts on a 100,000-dollar bill. So, this man was very romantic. He showed himself beautifully precisely when the Cyclops disappeared. When a multi-ton ship with 390 people on board and a huge cargo of manganese ore needed in metallurgy did not arrive at the port, he said: "Only the sea and God know what happened to this ship."
Scientific explanation
Science is strictly systematic. What is happening in the Bermuda Triangle shows no order or system. Rather, it shows the system, but it has more to do with information policy. Statistics also say that the area of the designated Bermuda Triangle is not more dangerous than any other part of the ocean, where cyclones are formed and often storms. Logistics says this is one of the ocean's busiest areas of shipping. The sailing experience says that the Sargasso Sea is not convenient for navigation. Statistics also show that ship collisions are not uncommon. According to the Liverpool Association of Insurers, in 1964, collisions sank 18 ships and 1735 ships were accidentally damaged. In 1965, these numbers were respectively 14 and 1945,and only large vessels with a tonnage of more than 500 register tons were taken into account in the statistics. The same statistic says that one of the main causes of ship collisions is congestion on sea roads.
