Interesting that you posted this today for I was thinking about the same thing the other night when I heard about when a plane that "disappeared" from Brazil to Paris. Unfortunately as we now know the plane disappeared into a horrific thunderstorm.
But it did get me thinking about the Bermuda Triangle which has always perked my interest. It is located off the Southeastern coast of the US in the Atlantic Ocean, with apexes in the vicinity if Bermuda, San Juan Puerto Rico, and Miami It covers roughly 500,000 square miles. It has been called the "Devils Triangle" and the "Isle of Devils". Maybe because of its treacherous reefs that have ensnared ships sailing too close to its shores around Bermuda, and there are hundreds of shipwrecks that surround this area.
I have also heard that there is only one other area ("The Devils Sea" located off the coast of Japan in a region of the Pacific around Miyake Island) where a compass points to true north rather than magnetic north....
Its all a mystery to me but an interesting discussion here you have started !
Happy MyLotting akt1843 and welcome to MyLot!

The Bermuda Triangle has always been a mystery and has encouraged numerous discussions and possible explanations. I have seen a documentary on Discovery Channel that has explained or should I say opened our eyes to this mystery. According to this documentary, the "Triangle" is actually an area of the ocean that has gas deposits or in other words this is an area where gas escapes from the ocean bed. Occasional bursts of gas escape the ocean floor and escapes in huge bubbles on the surface. Unfortunately a ship may happen to find itself in an area where one of these bubbles reach the surface. The force of these bubbles are stong enough to sort of lift the ship causing a kind of tear or rip of the vessel at the site of impact. The ship takes on water too quickly for any decent repair so it sinks. This happens so fast that there may not be time to send out an sos. This same gas -methane I think- also escapes into the air above the "triangle" and causes the air to become too thin to support the weight of the areoplane. So an unsuspecting pilot may happen upon this thin area of air and develop difficulties as the aircraft falls quickly out of the sky. This thin air messes with the monitors and communication equipment as well so a mayday may not be able to be sent out.

This discussion is two years old, and the bermuda triangle still remains a mystery, an unsolved puzzle for ever..
