Devil's Triangle

Japanese: Devil's Triangle(英語表記)DevilsTriangle
Devil's Triangle

... The triangle connecting Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico is called the Bermuda Triangle. Since 1854, more than 50 ships and planes have disappeared in this area, including the sudden disappearance of the American warship Cyclops in 1918 and the disappearance of a squadron of five American bombers without a trace in 1945. This led to the area being feared as the Devil's Triangle. It is said that the cause was an unexpected sudden change in weather conditions, but the truth is unclear.

*Some of the terminology that refers to "Devil's Triangle" is listed below.
