The Bermuda Triangle is a place where conspiracy theorists and skeptics alike enter at their own peril. Hundreds of ships and airplanes have vanished over the years without a trace. We don’t know why.

Nautical legends speak of interdimensional portals, UFOs, and aliens; science speaks of extraordinary weather phenomena; skeptics speak of our tenancy to fabricate stories. Are we convinced?

With all of our modern technology, may we conclude once and for all the truth behind the triangle? How much of it is fact, and how much is fiction? What does science have to say?

The Notorious Bermuda Triangle

Bermuda is an island surrounded by shipwrecks, settled by marooned survivors centuries ago. The perilous reefs surrounding the volcanic island are both shallow and devastating to vessels, wooden or metal.

The area loosely defined by the bounds joining Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Miami constitutes the triangle, where many a mysterious disappearance has been recorded over a century.

The most famous ship ever to vanish into the triangle is the USS Cyclops, the largest ship in the U.S. Navy in its day, which supplied fuel for the American fleet in WWI. Those who have studied the vessel have pointed out its main weakness: it was a flat-bottomed vessel and, thus, was prone to tipping. Carrying heavy cargo, the ship mysteriously vanished with 309 crew on board while voyaging from Barbados to Baltimore in 1918.

Today, what was once post-industrial urban blight – something Cleveland has an abundance of – has thousands of students passing through each year to do projects for school or intern at startups pioneering new products and seeking energetic young workers.

“It starts with a belief that with open innovation you learn the most,” said Hans Maas, director of a training center on the campus for the Rotterdam University of Applied Science.

 “You share your knowledge. Your competitive advantage is that you share and that it’s not your own.”

Helen Williams, who heads education efforts of the Cleveland Foundation, was impressed with RDM when she and a Cleveland delegation visited in 2014.

“The value is the total integration of all parts of the system in one place,” Williams said. “You have the training with the opportunity to use that training in a real work situation.”

The pure joy on ten-year-old Ariene Khan’s face is un­mis­tak­able as she sits in the cock­pit of a Boe­ing 737-800 flight sim­u­la­tor learn­ing to fly the same mod­el air­plane CAL (Caribbean Air­lines) op­er­ates.

The same look of joy and ex­cite­ment were re­flect­ed in the faces of the oth­er chil­dren at Pro­fes­sion­al Air­line Train­ing So­lu­tions Ltd’s (PROATS) avi­a­tion camp held last month at Re­serve Road, Trinci­ty.

The camp was de­signed to in­tro­duce in­di­vid­u­als to the world of aero­space.

Many dif­fer­ent as­pects of avi­a­tion were in­clud­ed in the pro­gramme such as the air­plane, parts, tech­nol­o­gy, sys­tems, the the­o­ry of flight and weath­er.

Be­sides en­gag­ing the chil­dren and al­low­ing them to re­alise their avi­a­tion dreams in a fun-filled, im­mer­sive and ed­u­ca­tion­al en­vi­ron­ment, they learned oth­er com­po­nents as well such as self-es­teem, anger man­age­ment, stress re­lief, lead­er­ship skills, com­mu­ni­ca­tion, team­work, crit­i­cal think­ing, and prob­lem-solv­ing.

Ariene from Princes Town said “I want to be pi­lot when I grow up. Mom first saw the camp on Face­book, my old­er sis­ter came to the camp and now she’s study­ing to be a pi­lot.

“I made friends at the camp, there are two oth­er girls in class, the self-es­teem pro­gramme is very in­spi­ra­tional. We al­so learned to com­mu­ni­cate with oth­er peo­ple, where they’re from and it def­i­nite­ly pushed me to the next lev­el of be­ing a pi­lot.

“If you don’t want to be a pi­lot and come, I’m sure you will be mo­ti­vat­ed and will want to be one as the camp
