Disappearance of the Star Tiger:
Engine failure or the Bermuda?
The Star Tiger had disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean without any trace whatsoever. With over 25 passengers present, this disappearance began a great controversy and has been one of the most debated discussions in history.

1. What is the Star Tiger?
2. What are the two theories?
3. How reliable are these theories?
Understanding the mysteries behind the Star Tiger will allow families of those who passed away to find peace and rest.

One theory states that they might have flown into the ocean due to engine failure. Based on Vincent Orange (1992), the plane was flying at an altitude of 2,000ft in order to avoid strong head winds that were occurring at that time. This means that it had little altitude for maneuvering; consequently, a strong gust of air or wind could have smacked the aircraft into the sea, giving the radio operator absolutely no chance in sending or retrieving signals. Another very distinct factor was the fact that a crew member stopped the flow of the inflammable fuel. This is very risky because the gas could have built up and exploded. In 1948, planes didn’t have safety instruments we use today like fire extinguishers or heating alarms; consequently the plane might have over heated without anyone’s notice. The Star Tiger also had poor safety records, yet the BSAA still continued to fly …show more content…

One of these abnormalities is that large amounts of methane gas are trapped thousands of feet below the ocean floor. According to Dr. Ben Clennell, when this gas is released, water density in that area reduces causing problems in the buoyancy required to keep ships floating and planes from swaying towards the ocean. This theory was not popular until 1998, when Dr. Clennell delivered a lecture about it in Leeds University, England. He also mentioned that as a result of the release of methane, large amounts of landslides can take place under the ocean floor. Since the gas is highly combustible, this can also lead to an eruption that can cause a plane flying above it to catch fire, burn, and therefore explode. To support his findings, many scientists researched this only to find that methane hydrates do exist, in a frozen state, hundreds of meters below the oceans floor. In 2014, three large craters have been discovered in Siberia by the scientists and researchers of TIPG in Russia, to whom they ought to believe that these craters were caused by a large underground explosion. They believe that this area has great similarities with where the Bermuda triangle is

Larson not only blames the sinking of this ship upon the submarine that sunk the ship, but also he spies who withheld information about another safe route the ship could have used. Another claim was that because the cruiser had to take on passengers from another ship, The Cameronia, the ship was then delayed for about two days, and could not continue on the original course time, so you could say they ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Another major problem on this ship was that the workers were not fully executing the drills they were instructed to do on a daily basis, and not instructing the passengers to learn the procedure either. On page 208, it states, “ Passengers had been instructed to keep their

Though all the qualities that man gives to the tiger is not true about it, it is however the way the mind of man shapes the tiger to exist in the mind. How the tiger is understood does not change what the tiger is in real existence just in cognitional existence. This is not saying that humans cannot come to know who or what another being is, rather, depending on the complexity of a thing, it takes interaction and contemplation to know another being. So the Detroit Tigers baseball team does reflect characteristics of a pack of tigers while at the same time still being human. It is from here that it becomes related on a singular level.
