To those who bought records like “Rocky Mountain High”
and “Take Me Home, Country Roads” by the millions in
the 1970s, John Denver was much more than just a great
songwriter and performer.

With his oversized glasses, bowl haircut and down vest,
he was an unlikely fashion icon, and with his vocal
environmentalism, he was the living embodiment of an
outdoorsy lifestyle that many 20-something baby boomers
would adopt as their own during the “Me” decade.

There never was and there probably never will be a star
quite like John Denver, who died on October 12, 1997
when his experimental amateur aircraft (below) crashed
into Monterey Bay on the California coast.

An Australian scientist says he has uncovered the mystery behind
the notorious Bermuda Triangle, known for its urban legends and
tales of puzzling ship and plane disappearances in the western

of sea is prone to quickly changing weather patterns, varying sea
