Description: This video is looking at all the possible explanations there might be with the Bermuda Triangle.

Connection: This video connects to Unexplained because in the video the host is looking into all the information that could lead to finding out the reason for what is going on in the Bermuda Triangle. Applying the critical thinking process and skepticism to the video. Doing this would show us other reasons of belief. Agenicity because the host is using the conspiracies in the show to help find answers and what he can't find will be conspiracies. A flaw is that most of the information that they have is not new and has already been looked at. A limitation is that a show like this needs to be more accessible to the public.

Description: This website tells us what is the Bermuda Triangle. it talks about how some people can believe in the unexplained side of Bermuda but also talks about the scientific response to this.

Connection: This website connects to simplicity because it starts by saying that this is what some people will believe even though scientist have proven that weather and the magnetic field is common in this area and that is the main reason for these disappearances. Applying the critical thinking process and skepticism to the statements of speculation and to what the scientist says. When we look at this website it is saying a lot of information that someone might believe but not showing any evidence that could prove this to be true. A flaw within this website is that there is no proof of the government or scientists saying these things, we just have to take their word for it. I do not think there is a limitation to this website.

The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean in which ships, planes, and people are alleged to have mysteriously vanished

# data[].attributes.body
Description: This image shows a ship called Cotopaxi that later disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in 1925.

Connection: This image is an example of confirmation bias because I had looked up a ship that had disappeared in the Bermuda triangle without gathering all the evidence on what could have happened I just assumed it happened on mysterious evidence. This could also be unexplained because this image alone can say a thousand words without any background on what truly happened to the ship. Applying the critical thinking and skepticism to a photo like this is needed to gather evidence. A flaw is that this image comes with no context and anyone could have put this image here.

# data[].attributes.body
Description: This is a video that talks about some of the scientific evidence that has been found in the area and compares it to other places in the world with these phenomena.

Connection: This video connects to patternicity because the experts are looking at patterns (I don't see all of them) and thinking these might be the cause. Applying the critical thinking process and skepticism to this video. Doing this would show us reasons of belief. Simplicity because scientists are trying to explain why they think the Bermuda Triangle is mysterious. A flaw with this video is that the title of the video can be a bit miss leading. A limitation is that they don't talk about the triangle they only have facts about what might be happening.

Have Scientists Uncovered the Secret of the Bermuda Triangle?

# data[].attributes.body
Description: This website gives an overview of information on the Bermuda Triangle. This is a trusted network and website for information.

Connection: This website connects to proof of verbosity because there is a lot of information found here that agrees that the Bermuda triangle is mysterious or that it's just a hoax. Applying the critical thinking process and skepticism to this website and the information that is on it. Perception and observation because on this website there is a lot of information and if you only believe in one thing then it lowers the rest of the information. Simplicity is another because there is a lot of information and some of it is hard to understand. A flaw with this website is that it doesn't say where they get their information. A limitation is that to get access to the videos you have to become a member and this is where they have already lost half of their readers.

1. Legend of the Bermuda Triangle

2. Bermuda Triangle Theories and Counter-Theories

The Bermuda Triangle is a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared. Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents, including one in which the pilots of a squadron of U.S. Navy bombers became disoriented while flying over the area; the planes were never found. Other boats and planes have seemingly vanished from the area in good weather without even radioing distress messages. But although myriad fanciful theories have been proposed regarding the Bermuda Triangle, none of them prove that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently there than in other well-traveled sections of the ocean. In fact, people navigate the area every day without incident.

Legend of the Bermuda Triangle

The area referred to as the Bermuda Triangle, or Devil's Triangle, covers about 500,000 square miles of ocean off the southeastern tip of Florida. When Christopher Columbus sailed through the area on his first voyage to the New World, he reported that a great flame of fire (probably a meteor) crashed into the sea one night and that a strange light appeared in the distance a few weeks later. He also wrote about erratic compass readings, perhaps because at that time a sliver of the Bermuda Triangle was one of the few places on Earth where true north and magnetic north lined up.

Did you know? After gaining widespread fame as the first person to sail solo around the globe, Joshua Slocum disappeared on a 1909 voyage from Martha's Vineyard to South America. Though it's unclear exactly what happened, many sources later attributed his death to the Bermuda Triangle.

William Shakespeare 's play "The Tempest," which some scholars claim was based on a real-life Bermuda shipwreck, may have enhanced the area's aura of mystery. Nonetheless, reports of unexplained disappearances did not really capture the public's attention until the 20th century.

An especially infamous tragedy occurred in March 1918 when the USS Cyclops, a 542-foot-long Navy cargo ship with over 300 men and 10,000 tons of manganese ore onboard, sank somewhere between Barbados and the Chesapeake Bay. The Cyclops never sent out an SOS distress call despite being equipped to do so, and an extensive search found no wreckage. "Only God and the sea know what happened to the great ship," U.S. President Woodrow Wilson later said. In 1941 two of the Cyclops' sister ships similarly vanished without a trace along nearly the same route.

A pattern allegedly began forming in which vessels traversing the Bermuda Triangle would either disappear or be found abandoned. Then, in December 1945, five Navy bombers carrying 14 men took off from a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, airfield in order to conduct practice bombing runs over some nearby shoals. But with his compasses apparently malfunctioning, the leader of the mission, known as Flight 19, got severely lost. All five planes flew aimlessly until they ran low on fuel and were forced to ditch at sea. That same day, a rescue plane and its 13-man crew also disappeared. After a massive weeks-long search failed to turn up any evidence, the official Navy report declared that it was "as if they had flown to Mars."

Bermuda Triangle Theories and Counter-Theories

By the time author Vincent Gaddis coined the phrase "Bermuda Triangle" in a 1964 magazine article, additional mysterious accidents had occurred in the area, including three passenger planes that went down despite having just sent "all's well" messages. Charles Berlitz, whose grandfather founded the Berlitz language schools, stoked the legend even further in 1974 with a sensational bestseller about the legend.

Since then, scores of fellow paranormal writers have blamed the triangle's supposed lethalness on everything from aliens, Atlantis and sea monsters to time warps and reverse gravity fields, whereas more scientifically minded theorists have pointed to magnetic anomalies, waterspouts or huge eruptions of methane gas from the ocean floor.

In all probability, however, there is no single theory that solves the mystery. As one skeptic put it, trying to find a common cause for every Bermuda Triangle disappearance is no more logical than trying to find a common cause for every automobile accident in Arizona.

Moreover, although storms, reefs and the Gulf Stream can cause navigational challenges there, maritime insurance leader Lloyd's of London does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an especially hazardous place. Neither does the U.S. Coast Guard, which says: "In a review of many aircraft and vessel losses in the area over the years, there has been nothing discovered that would indicate that casualties were the result of anything other than physical causes. No extraordinary factors have ever been identified."

Reflection Questions:
1. What I learned about the Bermuda Triangle that surprised me the most is that even though we have all probably heard of the triangle is that it is not one of the most dangerous waters for planes and ships, it is not even the top 10.

2. This topic is interesting to me because I have heard of the stories and the conspiracies and it is nice to have all this information to put that curiosity to rest.

3. I found the research from the New York Times to be the most informative because I did know all the information that was said but the way how it was all laid out made it interesting to read.

4. I am most likely to remember from this the shapes of the clouds over the western part of the triangle because I found them to be cool and odd looking.

5. I think the emotional connection is the most harmful because this plays into people's vulnerabilities and uses this against them. I think patternicity to be the least harmful because this is based on patterns that we can see, which we cannot control.

6. I always think that history is the most important to pass on so that it can be reflected on and so that it doesn't repeat again.

Description: This is a video of theories, investigations and beliefs about what is going on in the Bermuda Triangle. This video is from a known youtube channel mostly for kids that can help with the education of some topics.

Connection: This video connects to proof of verbosity because this is a lot of information all at once and it is hard to understand because all the information is moving fast. Applying the critical thinking process and skepticism to the video. Doing this would show us other reasons of belief. Unexplained is one because the information is not directed in one direction or the other, so if you are watching this then you already have an opinion. A flaw with this video is that you have to look for someone thing like this and not just type in keywords. A limitation is that this information is mostly directed toward kids when this could be for anyone.

Is Bermuda Triangle's Mystery Solved? | BERMUDA TRIANGLE | Dr Binocs Show | Peekaboo Kidz

# data[].attributes.body
Description: This website talks about everything Bermuda Triangle. It talks about the origin of the name, what makes it so popular, where did all this mystery come from and so of the disappearances in the area.

Connection: This website connects to proof of verbosity because there is a lot of information here to look at, but most of the information is summarized. Applying the critical thinking process and skepticism to the website. Doing this would show us reasons of belief. Unexplained because this website gives us a lot of information but not until the end of the article does it start by mentioning the reasons for the disappearances. Simplicity is another because with this information it is hard to not already have an opinion of what happened before you get to the significant evidence at the end. A flaw with this website is that there is a time limit and you can only access the website once a day. A limitation is a flaw.

Description: This is an image of flight 19 with a bit of context. The context in this image is very vague and lacks some important information.

Connection: This image connects to proof of verbosity because there is a lot of information here about the basics of what happened that day, but there is no information here about the cause of what might have happened. Applying the critical thinking process and skepticism to this image. Doing this would show us other reasons for belief. Unexplained is one where the information in the picture is vague and at the end how it ends with a mysterious conclusion, this is going to pique people's curiosity and they are going to want to try to explain it themselves. A flaw with this image is that there is not enough information here and what is here is not enough to have an opinion. A limitation is that there need to be more information.

Description: This is one of the multiple images of the place and size of the Bermuda Triangle. There are a lot of different examples of where the Bermuda Triangle is.

Connection: This image connects to Patternicity because people believe in the Bermuda Triangle and they seem to be able to see the shape of what it is going to look like, while not everyone sees this image we are made to believe that it exist. Applying the critical thinking process and skepticism to this photo. Doing this would show us the other reasons for belief there. Perspection and observation are one because depending on where you get your information and if you choose to believe it or not is guiding you to believe what you want. Agenticity is another one because the government does not recognize this place as any more than just water people think that the government is trying to cover something up with no evidence that this occurring. A flaw with this image is that because there are other versions of what this looks like it is hard to tell what to believe. A limitation of this image is that there is no close version to this to see where this falls.
