LESSON 31: THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE PART 1
Lesson 31: Part 1 - Into The Devil's Triangle
Before we enter the anomaly zone, verify your sonar readings and discuss with your co-pilot.
What have you heard about the Bermuda Triangle?
Have you ever read something about this mystery?
Do you think that weird things really happen there?
Also known as the Devil's Triangle, this loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean has become legendary. Its points are generally accepted to be Miami (Florida), San Juan (Puerto Rico), and the island of Bermuda.
Over the past century, more than 50 ships and 20 airplanes are said to have vanished mysteriously within this area. While the U.S. Navy does not officially recognize the Bermuda Triangle as a hazardous zone, the sheer volume of unexplained disappearances—often happening in perfect weather without a single distress signal—has fueled endless speculation.
Hover over the investigation cards to explore the most popular theories before watching the video.
Some theorists suggest the Triangle is one of the few places on Earth where true north and magnetic north align, causing fatal navigational errors.
Scientists believe storms converging from multiple directions can create massive "rogue waves" up to 100 feet high, easily swallowing ships whole.
Paranormal investigators argue that the lost city of Atlantis lies beneath the Triangle, and its ancient crystal technology interferes with modern vehicles.
Let’s watch a video about the Bermuda Triangle
Play the video twice, first without subtitles and then with subtitles.
Investigate the case files below. Click on a question to open your investigation notes space and discuss your answer with the crew.
Work in pairs to create a short speaking scenario using the vocabulary from today.
You are flying over the Bermuda Triangle. Your compass goes crazy and a weird fog surrounds your plane. Call the control tower and explain what is happening.
You are in Miami receiving the Mayday call. Ask the pilot questions about their location, altitude, and try to calm them down before the signal is lost.
