The Bermuda Triangle:
Urban Legend or Maritime Mystery?
The Caribbean, with its unpredictable weather, dangerous currents, and hidden reefs has been the site of many unexplained ship and plane disappearances over the centuries. However, after a Miami newspaper man wrote a news article in 1950 that showed many of the missing vessels were last seen in an area formed by connecting South Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, the mysterious "Bermuda Triangle” captured the attention of audiences across the world. But was it fact or fantasy? Use your critical thinking skills to investigate this media mystery for yourself!
