ANOTHER TRIANGLE ENTANGLEMENT
Yesterday, in the middle of the afternoon, a plane
dropped off the radar and lost contact with Air
Traffic Control. The Boeing 347, which was carrying
124 high school pupils and 12 staff members as well
as the crew, was travelling to Brazil for a geography
trip. However, it never arrived at its destination and
the plane’s whereabouts – along with its passengers
– are still unknown. According to sources at Air
Traffic Control, no contact has been made with the
pilot or tourist passengers since 15:33 yesterday.
The village of Albion (New Orleans) has been left
devastated by the news that over one hundred of its
friends and neighbours are currently missing. With
many presuming the worst, this catastrophic news
has hit the small community of 5,637 incredibly
hard. Anxiety is rippling through Albion and the
surrounding areas while everybody awaits new infor-
mation on this disastrous and unimaginable event.
Just before 3pm, on the 2nd of July, the pilot (Mr
Robert Hutchins) reached out to Air Traffic Control
in response to their instructions to descend and
maintain flight level 230 (23,000ft). When ques-
tioned about the content of the last known conver-
sation, Gates shared four gut-wrenching words:
“Press the ditch switch. That’s the phrase that will
haunt me now until the end of my days on this
earth. That was the last thing we heard and that
certainly isn’t promising, is it?” Gates continued to
describe how he had heard Hutchins and his co-pilot,
Jennifer Wyatt, conversing about seeing something
in the water. The most recent information available
marks the Boeing 347’s last location in the North
Atlantic Ocean, heading in the direction of Puerto
Rico.

After the disappearance, employees at New York Air

Route Traffic Control (ZNY) were advised to cooper-
ate with police and reveal any information that
LAST KNOWN LOCATION
might be vital to the investigation. New York Times
had the opportunity to talk to Mr Tom Gates, an air
traffic manager at ZNY who knows the identity of
The last known location of the Boeing 347 lies directly in the middle
the pilot. During the interview, he shared the details of the Bermuda Triangle (also known as the Devil’s Triangle)

of his worrying last moments with the Boeing 347.

Rescue crews have been searching for over 30 hours
for the crew and passengers (children and teachers)
who have been missing since their plane mysterious-
ly disappeared from the radar while flying over the
infamous Bermuda Triangle on Monday. Determined
to provide desperate friends and family with some
form of information on the plane’s whereabouts, the
search crews have covered over 8,200 square miles
already. “We appreciate the immense pain the com-
munity of Albion must be going through right now,”
the U.S Coast Guard shared, “and we recommend
relatives stay close to their phones for updates. They
will no doubt be the first to know.”
Among the missing are married couple Mr and Mrs
Hersham who are both teachers at Albion High
School. Mrs Hersham’s beloved mother, Sophia
Layhem, reached out on social media to the families
of those on board: “My heart aches for you all, my
family and yours, on this tragic day and the
crippling wait we have in front of us as we await
news of our loved ones. One thing I can guarantee is
that my beautiful daughter, Lara, and her husband,
Todd, would have done everything in their power to
protect your children. I am offering accommodation
to all those affected by the news. Let us wait this out
together and pray for their safe return.”
For now, the investigation continues. Lieutenant
Commander Roger Kenny, a spokesperson for the
U.S. Coast Guard, expressed that the conditions at
the time were not something to be alarmed about:
“There was no indication at all of significant weath-
er which might have caused disturbance and turbu-
lence.” Meanwhile, a variety of well-respected scien-
grammarsaurus.co.uk
tists in New York have shared one possible explana-
tion for the disappearance of the plane: hexagonal
cloud formations. These have been known to create
air bombs with winds of 170mph (miles per hour),
and could be the answer to the mystery of this
deadly area. In accordance with Dr Farah Sullivan
(an experience meteorologist), hexagonal clouds
are formed by microbursts (blasts of air which
shoot down out of the bottom of a cloud). Subse-
quently, they hit the ocean and create enormous
waves as they start to interact with each other. He
claims that recently released satellite imagery
shows the presence of bizarre cloud formations
which he believes are that of hexagonal clouds.
This familiar area of water in the Atlantic Ocean,
where the Boeing 347 seemingly vanished, is
between Bermuda, San Juan and Miami. Over the
years, it has become a graveyard for many people
and vessels. As to be expected, theories of yester-
day’s event are already spreading, including electro-
magnetic forces, waterspouts, methane gas and
even aliens! New York City Police Department
recommend that members of the public refrain
from creating and listening to this hearsay. They
have advised that all updates will be delivered
through them. “It is impossible to give an explana-
tion at this point because there is no debris, no
bodies and no signal,” explained DCI Jacobs. Police
vehicles are now circling the village of Albion to
deliver supplies to the affected families. The search
parties - continuing to soldier on in the hope of
good news - will reassemble tonight at 18:00
hours.
