Renewed media interest in the Bermuda Triangle presents an opportunity to learn more about what causes catastrophic performance failure. A sports performance psychologist offers an explanation showing that poor mental skills may really be the culprit in this and other failures such as John F. Kennedy Jr's plane crash.
Palm Beach, Florida (PRWEB) November 20, 2005 -- A recent Bermuda Triangle investigation rekindled mystery and prompted a House resolution. Now Dr. John F. Murray has new information about John F. Kennedy Jr.'s plane crash following discussions with pilots and air traffic controllers, and evidence to suggest that Bermuda Triangle type events may be better explained by psychological factors.
Much has been written and said over the past 60 years attributing the missing planes of 1945 to some mysterious zone called the Bermuda or Devil's Triangle. It is described as some odd menace that gobbles up planes without leaving a trace. Some claim that it produces a natural magnetic force that throws off navigational instruments, while others believe an evil cloud of gas or other entity dooms them.
After investigating this story and discussing these and other strange events with two long-time military and commercial airplane pilots and two air traffic controllers, Dr. John F. Murray believes that psychological factors better explain these events.
According to one credible source, the media failed to report something about John F. Kennedy Jr.'s behavior on that fateful day of July 16, 1999. According to that source who was involved in an air traffic control tower in New York that day, "Kennedy's plane blew right past the control tower without telling anyone at all! It is standard procedure to check in properly and receive a code for identification purposes during a flight. He totally neglected this," said the source.
