Q.1 Read the passage carefully and answers the following questions:- (12)
At 2 pm on 5 December 1945, five US bombers took off from Fort Lauderdale in the USA for a
training flight in perfect weather. Shortly afterwards, the pilots radioed that their flight instruments
were malfunctioning. Two hours after take-off, all contact with the planes was lost. A reconnaissance
plane was immediately dispatched to search for the missing planes. Within 20 minutes, radio contact
with it had also been lost. No trace of any of the planes was ever found. In all, six planes and 27 men
had vanished into the air.
The disappearance was not even the greatest disaster within the triangle. The Cyclops, a 19,000- ton
US ship, was sailing from Barbados to Norfolk, Virginia. In March 1918, it vanished with its crew of
309 from the surface of the ocean without making a distress call and without the slightest wreckage
ever being found.
The losses of boats and planes in that area defy explanation. The disasters are the origin of a new
phrase in the English language – the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle has been called the
Devil’s Triangle. It has swallowed up to 140 ships and planes and more than 1,000 people. Today,
many airmen and sailors are still afraid of that area of the Atlantic Ocean.
