Bermuda Triangle (Mary Celeste)

Mary Celeste was quite small Brigandine ship, which gained noteriety after he crushed and been found by another ship.

What is so interesting about it? Ships in those times got lost very often, becasue there wasn’t so highly developed technology to follow them.

This case is different. When sailors of the other boat got on deck of Mary Celeste they were suprised, cause the ship was abandoned. The sails were torn, and some of the hatches leading under the deck were open. However, there was no trace of the crew. All their private belongings were there, and people seemed to disappear.

Another interesting thing is that the abandoned ship drifted for 9 days (the last entry in the logbook was on November 25), covering 740 km during this time until it was found by the crew. Ship has on its deck a lot of barrels with spirit, but when they found Mary Celeste 9 of them was empty.

The most logical theory is that the crew smelled evaporating spirit smell and decided to escape, because in those times exploations on boats often happened.

There are many legends and theories about it, but we’ll never find out what really happened.

    "exploations" were probably meant to be explosions?
    When you talk about ships in English you use the female pronoun SHE. So she didn't sink and she was abandoned.

Underwater pyramid in the Azores

Obraz
  At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, a large pyramid-shape was found. The top of the pyramid is 40 meters deep and 60 meters high and covers an area of ​​8,000 m2. The underwater pyramid was discovered by a local angler in September this year during one of his trips. This angler claims that the pyramid must have been built with human hands and it may be the mythical Atlantis. However, not everyone is convinced that the find from the Azores is a pyramid. Skeptics that there is a chance that this is just an underwater volcanic hill, not a residual Atlantean civilization. (it’s because Azores are archipelago of nine volcanic islands and that’s why people are not convinced about the theory of underwater city)    https://curiosmos.com/is-there-a-20000-year-old-underwater-pyramid-in-the-atlantic-ocean/

Observation 6

 I’ve read an article about domestic violence. The text talked about the maltreatment of man against women and the passivity of the police. It sounds pretty horryfing. Maybe the number of women who were murdered because of their partners is not high, but why is it not dropping? Why the police is doing literally nothing event they have evidence of violence? Also a creepy fact is that the punishments for doing such a thing are really mild and most of the perpetrators do not even receive them. The article mentions a woman who was killed by her husband while sleeping. Before that situation the neighbors dialled for help but the police did nothing and it was the main reason why that woman died. Because of ignorance and passivity. What else we can do when even someone like police officers do not care about our safety? Maybe not to have any relationships or carry a knife whenever we are surrounded by other people? It sounds ridiculous but I have no better idea how to be safe on our own

Soap and viruses- Is social distancing that we all have to practise now is difficult or easy for you?

For me social distancing is a little bit difficult, because I don't have any kind of physical contact with somebody in my age. Of course staying at home for over a dozen days was really great, but when the prohibitions appeared that we can't go out and meet friends, it became harder. Videochats and online lessons it's not the same as face to face meeting. Although we recently had an Easter, and we couldn't go to our families, because of this virus. That's why for me and for most people staying at home is very hard.
