This is a great book for kids, and even adults can learn a lot from this quick read.
The Bermuda triangle is a name given to a triangular area in the ocean off the coast of Florida where dozens of ships and planes have disappeared.
In 1945 five airplanes took off from a runway in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The planes were US Navy bombers, but they were not going to drop bombs. They were just out on a training run. The pilots were supposed to fly east, over the ocean, and then go north for a while before heading back home. The whole flight was supposed to last 2 hours. The trip was called flight 19.
Before the day was over, all five planes had disappeared without a trace. The Navy sent another plane out to search for them and it vanished too. For weeks, the Navy searched a wide area of the sea. They never found a single thing, not even a piece of a broken plane floating in the water.
Some stories say the Bermuda triangle sucks ships into the sea. Others say that planes can enter the Bermuda triangle but never escape. Over the years, ships have been found floating in the water, abandoned ships and perfect conditions, with food still cooking on the stove, but no people on board. Huge ocean-going ships have been said to break in half in the treacherous seas.
To pinpoint the dangerous area of water that is considered the Bermuda triangle, draw three lines on a map connecting Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Miami, Florida. The lines will make a triangle in the ocean.
The ocean is usually deep in the Bermuda triangle. It's 3 miles deep in many places and over 5 miles deep in one spot. Hundreds of different species called sea creatures live miles below the surface.
