百慕達三角是怎麼一回事？

For decades, the Bermuda Triangle in the Atlantic Ocean has captured people's imagination with stories of ships, planes and people that disappeared without explanation. Some people believe that mysterious forces are to blame. Ideas include aliens capturing humans to study them, the influence of the lost city of Atlantis, and whirlpools that pull objects into other dimensions. Other explanations sound more scientific, even if there is no evidence for them, such as bursts of methane gas from the seafloor or disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field. In reality, the natural environment could explain many, if not most, of the disappearances. Most Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes pass through the Bermuda Triangle, and before modern weather forecasting, these dangerous storms sank many ships. The Gulf Stream can also cause sudden and sometimes violent changes in the weather. In addition, the many islands of the Caribbean create large areas of shallow water that can be dangerous for ships. The US Navy and Coast Guard say there are no supernatural explanations for disasters at sea. In their experience, the forces of nature combined with human error are more powerful than even the wildest science fiction. They also point out that there are no official maps showing the boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle. In fact, the US government doesn't even recognize it as an official place name. The ocean has always been a mysterious place, and when bad weather or poor navigation is involved, it can be a very dangerous one, all over the world. There is no evidence that mysterious disappearances happen more often in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, busy area of the ocean.
