Disappearances of many air and sea travels over the Atlantic led many people to believe that there is a specific area of the ocean where an abundance of mysterious disappearances take place. However, some think there is a logical explanation to the madness. In February of 1954, a man named Vincent Gaddis came up with a conspiracy to explain the disappearances. Vincent Gaddis’ way of thinking is that, there had been an abundance of airline and sea travels,lost in the Bermuda Triangle. One of the disappearances he suspected was Flight 19.

On December 5th, 1945, five Avenger torpedo bombers left an Air Station in Fort Lauderdale. The Avenger bombers contained 14 men, including Lt. Charles Taylor.

Many people speculate that this confusion contributed to the disappearance of Flight 19, by altering his decisions.

Many people think that Lt. Taylor’s belief that he was in the Florida Keys determined the actions that he took to fly east into Bermuda, where he, and the Voyage, disappeared. They suspect that if it were not for the misconception and confusion, they may have been safe.

However; the Flight 19 isn’t the only disappearance that Vincent Gaddis associated with the Bermuda Triangle and it’s speculated lethality. Another one of the disappearances that he associated with the triangle is the Tanker Marine Sulphur Queen vanishing.

On February 2, 1963, the Tanker Marine Sulphur Queen began its voyage while carrying 39 crew members on a destination of Norfolk, Virginia. It ran overdue on February 6, 1963. The only thing that was found was a life jacket and debris. He has also linked a strato jet mission gone wrong with the triangle.

On August 28, 1963 two KC-135 four-engine strato-tanker jets set off on a classified mission over the Atlantic. With a crew total of eleven men between them. They were not following proper flight protocol and weren’t flying in a close proximity, therefore, as Gaddis proclaims, they “disappeared into the …show more content…

He was also a commercial pilot, flight instructor, instrument-rated pilot, instrument instructor and librarian. He wrote a book titled Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved which contains his arguments and evidence that the Bermuda Triangle is no mystery, but in fact just a regular stretch of water within the Atlantic. He gave many other conspirators from the Bermuda Triangle Conspiracy a branch to hang from when it comes to ideas. Charles Berlitz, Richard Winer, John Wallace Spencer, and many others have used Vincent Gaddis, Edward Van Winkle Jones, George X. Sand, and Allan W. Eckert’s ideas of the Bermuda Triangle.

Either way you look at it, the Bermuda Triangle conspiracy is very overwhelming on both sides. There are many facts that back up both of the views. Vincent Gaddis’ viewpoint that the Bermuda Triangle is connected to a lot of mysterious vanishings in both sea and aircrafts such as the Flight 19. Or Larry Kusch’s aspect that every dissipation that is said to have taken place in the Bermuda Triangle has a logical explanation to
