Fourteen men in five torpedo bombers. Thirty-one passengers aboard a commercial flight. A U.S. naval ship carrying 306 men. All are victims of the so-called “Bermuda Triangle”, an area of the South Atlantic bounded by Miami, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and the island of Bermuda.
The first mention of the Bermuda Triangle—sometimes called the Devil’s Triangle—came in 1964, when a writer named Vincent Gaddis catalogued the many catastrophes that had taken place there since the late 1800s in a pulp magazine called Argosy. Ten years later, paranormal enthusiast Charles Berlitz released a best-selling book about it, aptly named The Bermuda Triangle, which went on to sell more than 14 million copies.
