Trivia

Allusions and References

• The Bermuda Triangle is indeed a real place, albeit heavily debated. It's supposedly an area in the Atlantic Ocean where a lot of ships and planes are said to have disappeared, including the USS Cyclops, which, as Al pointed out, was lost in 1918. However, it's supernatural nature has been disputed, as there is not actually a disproportionate amount of lost crafts versus the rest of the seas.

Goofs

• Cooper uses the term Bermuda Triangle, even though it would not be in use for well over a decade later.
