Lawrence Kusche’s research for his book on BT revealed a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies between Charles Berlitz’s accounts and statements from eyewitnesses, participants and others involved in the initial incidents. Unlike many other authors Kusche went back where possible to the original accounts of each disappearance. This enabled him to be skeptical about any pro-Triangle embellishments because he could quite rightly question how the embellishment originated. He noted cases where pertinent information went unreported, such as the disappearance of round-the-world yachtsman Donald Crowhurst which Berlitz had presented as a mystery, despite clear evidence that Crowhurst had fabricated the accounts of his voyage and had probably committed suicide. Another example was the ore-carrier Berlitz recounted as lost without trace three days out of an Atlantic port when it had been lost three days out of a port with the same name in the Pacific Ocean. Kusche also argued that a large percentage of the incidents which have sparked the Triangle’s mysterious influence actually occurred well outside it.
