Water is the most common substance on Earth, occupying more than a third of the entire surface of our planet. The variety of shapes and sizes of this life-giving force is amazing. Water is omnipresent, it is present in all living organisms and fills the numerous hollows of the world.
Meanwhile, for modern man, the water element remains one of the greatest mysteries in the world, since only 5% of the world's oceans have been studied by people. Innovative technologies and expensive research using bathyscaphes made it possible to partially explore the unique world under a multi-kilometer layer of water, opening the curtain to the secrets of the deep sea.
Who would have thought that under the calm expanse of water, ancient monsters and outlandish creatures lurk, about which legends were composed, which were considered only another invention of the science fiction writer and never left their refuge at the bottom of the ocean? Scientists continue to hypothesize the existence of underwater civilization and alien objects that hide the depths of the sea. But even some experienced specialists cannot explain some of the mysterious events that took place in the depths of the sea.
The legendary ship, its first and last launch (Titanic)
The notorious tragic event of the last century was the death of the Titanic, the largest ship of its time, a world miracle of shipbuilding. The owners confidently believed that no one and nothing in the world could crush this giant except the Lord, and therefore his unexpected, catastrophic fate shocked the entire world community. According to the official version, the giant ship collided with an iceberg, although at night the sea was calm and did not pose a threat. Due to significant damage to the hull, the liner went to the bottom of the ocean, forever writing its name on a list called "Secrets of the deep sea."
Irony of fate or combination of circumstances? Unsinkable giant
After the lapse of time, other reasons were found for the shipwreck of the mighty Titanic and its tragic descent into the depths of the sea. The secrets of the disaster partially came to the surface thanks to studies that have reliably established that:
- Telegraphers ignored reports of ice drift, sending telegrams, which was an expensive pleasure, accessible only to the wealthiest passengers.
- The belated awareness of the collision and the impossibility of making a saving maneuver are also due to the lack of binoculars in the forward looking.
- The captain's overconfidence and his unwillingness to change course or reduce the speed of the ship also played a cruel joke.
- A huge number of victims was the result of the inattention of the liner workers to the fullness of boats. In a panic, the boats descended half empty.
- On the giant ship there was not a single red rocket warning of imminent disaster.
Through a hundred years and sea depths. Merciless Destruction of Luxury
For more than a century (since 1912), a giant liner has been resting on the ocean floor. The last two decades have had a devastating effect on the ship. The causes of irreparable damage entail yet another mystery of the deep sea. The Titanic suffered from bait hunters who plundered a ship and even stole a mast beacon, and from the destructive action of bacteria that turned the best steel of the time into miserable pieces of rusty metal.
Without a trace and consequence. Disappearances in the Western Atlantic
The Mysteries of the Deep Sea category also includes the mysterious disappearances of aircraft and swimming facilities in the most mystical place of the Atlantic Ocean - the Bermuda Triangle. No matter what versions come off the covers of periodicals of the last century! In the unmissable loss of ships and planes, guests from other planets, and fantastic monsters, and even the evaporation of a unique nature that produce the deep sea, were blamed. Secrets drove scientists further, thanks to which there were amazing stories about black holes, jumping through temporary space and quite logical conclusions about the experiments of American intelligence agencies. Nevertheless, none of the theories has stood up to criticism. All of them were doomed to be considered unproven.
Inexplicably, but true: the whereabouts of the Bermuda Triangle
Over the course of three decades, the disappearance of 37 aircraft and 38 ships, as well as of a nuclear submarine and a balloon, was recorded. Until 1975, mysterious cases continued, called the "Secrets of the deep sea." The Bermuda Triangle, as scientists have calculated, has an area of 1 million km 2 and is located between the islands of the same name, the southern cape of Florida and Puerto Rico. A characteristic feature of this place is the multi-tiered system of air and sea flows.
