LA / EL
THE
The (
listen) is a grammatical
article in
English,
denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied
or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners or readers. It is the only
definite article in English.
The is the
most commonly used word in the English language, accounting for seven percent of all words.
[1] It is derived from gendered articles in
Old English which combined in
Middle English
and now has a single form used with pronouns of either genders. The
word can be used with both singular and plural nouns and with a noun
that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages
which have different forms of the definite article for different
genders or numbers.

BUT WE NEED TO START READING:
TRIANGLE OF FEAR #2
What is the explanation for these disappearances, which many people
regard as the greatest aviation mystery of all time? To the true
believers in the powers of the Bermuda Triangle, the fate of the five
Avengers and the Martin Mariner is just another piece of evidence
providing that the Triangle is one spooky stretch of ocean. They argue
that experienced pilots could not have gotten lost on such simple
mission. they wonder why there was no oil slick, no wreckage, no bodies.
They do not believe that plane could have just vanished into thin air.
On the other hand, there is plenty of evidence that there is no mystery
here at all. The Avengers and the Mariner did go down. But skeptics
point out that the popular story concerning their disappearance is wrong
in almost every way. For example, the pilots were not all experience airman. With exception
of Taylor, they were all students. And Taylor was new to the area. The
only thing that is really clear from the radio transmission is that
Taylor was completely lost. His compass was not working. At times
Taylor thought he was west of Florida, over the Florida Keys in the Gulf
of Mexico. But, in fact, he was over the Grand Keys in the Bahamas,
east of Florida. Taylor was so confused that he had his men flying in
circles. Eventually, at night and in weather that had turned stormy, the
Avengers ran out of gas and went down. It would taken only about 45
seconds for an Avenger to fill with water and sink.
And what about the Mariner flying boat that was sent to rescue Flight
19? It did not take off until after dark at 7:9 pm. Observers above the
steamship Gaines Mills saw a explosion in midair. The burst of flames
occurred exactly where the Martin Mariner was supposed to be. It is not
unlikely that the Mariner exploded, for it had a pretty sorry safety
record. Gas fumes were always present. Mariners were commonly referred
to as "flying tanks." A cigarette or a sparks could have caused the
entire aircraft to burst into a ball of fire.
The fate of flight 19 and the Mariner continues to stir discussion. Sine
the fateful night of December 1945, several other planes and ships have
disappeared in the area of the Bermuda Triangle. This fact has only
fueled the fires of debate. But as the US Coast Guard noted in an
official communication, "The combined forces of nature and the
unpredictability of mankind outdo even the most farfetched science
fiction many times each year.
