What happens in Bermuda, stays in Bermuda.

Many believed that Bermuda Triangle is a place on earth that should be avoided in fear of being sucked down below the earth's core and will never be found. It is the only place on earth where the compass points true north and some claimed that strange happenings occur whenever they pass there.
There had been reports that boats, airplanes and ships have mysteriously disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle with no explanation at all or could be the doings of extraterrestrials or aliens.
On the other hand, a geochemist named Richard McIver has an explanation that the reason for the disappearances is brought about by hydrated methane gas.
Either way, what do you think really happened there?

bermuda triangle is still full of mystery.there are many theories about it.like hydrated methane gas,pirates of sea and comet hitting that area many years ago has made that place magnetic.but it is still unsolved.every thing is based on logic so I think we will get to know the truth very soon.

The truth is already available but nobody wants to listen to it or read it because people just love a 'mystery'. Unfortunately, the truth is very boring: there is nothing unusual at all about the area and ALL of the 'mysterious disappearances' can be explained by poor research, inaccurate (and often plain made up) stories, human error, piracy and natural storms.

Bermuda Triangle is an unsolved mystery in this world. Several planes and ships were lost there and were never found. Hope some day this mystery will be solved by humans.

Many of the stories quoted are wildly inaccurate or simply untrue. There is no evidence that the loss of shipping or airctaft in that area is any higher in relation to the volume of traffic than anywhere else.
The magnetic pole is not located at the geographic pole (and, in any case, is constantly changing position) and there are many more places than just one where a magnetic needle points to true north. None of them lie in the 'Bermuda Triangle' at present.
Experiments have shown that large eruptions of methane (or any other) gas could sink a ship but there is no evidence that any such eruption has occurred in that area in the last 15,000 years.

The Bermuda Triangle is a mystery that is hard to solve. In the past some airlines and ships went off the Planet Earth and were never found. It seemed strange and worrying to me. I won't ever choose to visit Bermuda due to the risk. Maybe the reason is hydrated methane gas. I wonder if we will ever find out the true reason. Well, I hope so.
