Extended data

Bermuda is famous for the Bermuda Triangle.

1945 65438+On February 5th, the US19 Flying Team suddenly disappeared during training. At that time, the scheduled flight plan was a triangle, so people later called it the triangle formed on the western Pacific Ocean along the southeast coast of the United States, starting from Bermuda in the north, extending to Miami in the south of Florida, then passing through the Bahamas, passing through Puerto Rico, reaching San Juan near the 40th longitude line, and then returning to Bermuda.

Hundreds of ships and planes crashed in this area, and thousands of people died here. From 1880 to 1976, there were about 158 disappearances, most of which occurred in the 30 years since 1949. 97 people are missing, and at least 2000 people are killed or missing here.

These mysterious disappearances mainly occurred in an area called "the sargasso sea" in the western Atlantic Ocean, which is a wide water area between 20-40 north latitude and 35-75 west longitude. Here is the world-famous Mexican warm current, which is day and night 120- 190 km, and is often attacked by eddies, typhoons and tornadoes. Not only that, the sea here is 4000-5000 meters deep, and there is the Puerto Rico Trench, which is more than 7000 meters deep and the deepest is 92 18 meters.
