The Bermuda Triangle is a region of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Florida, United States; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Bermuda.  The area inside these boundaries is approximately 1.5 million square miles (4,000,000 km²).\n\nThe Bermuda Triangle has a reputation for being an area where ships and airplanes dissappear, often under mysterious circumstances.  This reputation came to public awareness in the 1950s and became a household name in the 1970s, mostly due to "The Bermuda Triangle", a bestselling book written by Charles Berlitz.\n\nVarious explanations for the apparent high number of dissapperances have been put forward, ranging from the mundane to the hyper-fantastic.\n\nSkeptics contend that this region has a comparable rate of maritime and aerial incidents as any other similar sized region of the ocean.  They point out that Lloyd's of London, a world-reknowned insurer of maritime vessels, does not charge a higher insurance premium for ships that regularly traverse the triangle.\n\nScientific considerations for an increased dissaperance rate take into acount that this region experiences severe tropical storms and is the source of many hurricanes.  These storms create an increased danger to both ship and air traffic.\n\nRougue waves have also been put forward as a possible cause.  These rare waves can reach heights of as much as 100 feet (30 meters), easily swamping most ships.  Rouge waves, however, would have no effect on air travel.\n\nA third scientific explanation is methane hydrates.  Methane deposits on the ocean floor may release bursts of methane gas that reduces the density of the water it permeates. Since ships rely on displacement to stay afloat, a reduction of density in the water would cause a ship to immediately sink.  As the methane leaves the water and rises into the air, it would reduce the density of the air as well, thus reducing lift on aircraft, causing them to descend rapidly.  In addition, the methane would change the air mixture taken into the engines of the aircraft, causing the engine to stall.  While these events have not been witnessed in nature, they have been proven in lab experiments.\n\nMore exotic explanations for the Bermuda Triangle include it being an area of magnetic disturbance, temporal (or time) holes, the location of the lost city of Atlantis, or extra-terrestrial abduction.\n\nWhatever the reason, the Bermuda Triangle continues to be a source of inspiration for fiction writers of books, television programs and movies, often showing up attached to some sort of a conspiracy.

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle) is a nearly half-million square-mile (1.2 million km2) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Bermuda Triangle has become popular through representation by the mass media, in which it is a paranormal site in which the known laws of physics are either violated, altered, or both.\n\nWhile there is a common belief that a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in this region, the United States Coast Guard and others disagree with that assessment, citing statistics demonstrating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world [1]. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.\n\nThe triangle is an arbitrary shape, crudely marking out a corridor of the Atlantic Ocean, stretching northward from the West Indies, along the North American seaboard, as far as the Carolinas. In the Age of Sail, ships returning to Europe from parts south would sail north to the Carolinas, then turn east for Europe, taking advantage of the prevailing wind direction across the North Atlantic. Even with the development of steam and internal-combustion engines, a great deal more shipping traffic was (and still is) found nearer the US coastline than towards the empty centre of the Atlantic. The Triangle also loosely conforms with the course of the Gulf Stream as it leaves the West Indies, and has always been an area of volatile weather. The combination of distinctly heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather meant that a certain, also distinctly large, number of vessels would founder in storms. Given the historical limitations of communications technology, most of those ships that sank without survivors would disappear without a trace. The advent of wireless communications, radar, and satellite navigation meant that the unexplained disappearances largely ceased at some point in the 20th Century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace. It should be noted that both the concept and the name of the Bermuda Triangle date only to the 1960s, and were the products of an American journalist.\n\nAn American archaeological team has discovered definitive evidence of underwater ancient harbor remains at two separate locations at Bimini. A hoax begun in 1978 by skeptics has also been uncovered.\n11-12-05\n(I-Newswire) - Archaeologist William Donato and a team of researchers have confirmed a complex of ancient harbor works in shallow water off Bimini, 50 miles from Miami. In May 2005, the team investigated a little-known line of underwater stones located a mile from a controversial site known as the “Bimini Road.”  The new mile-long line of stones was found and videotaped from the air. Subsequent dives revealed several large stone circles on the bottom, formed from large blocks of limestone arranged into circular patterns. The circles were spaced at regular intervals. Stone anchors, identical to ancient Phoenician, Greek, and Roman anchors, were also found. “These finds took us by surprise,” stated Dr. Greg Little, who organized the expedition. “The circles may be similar to ancient Mediterranean harbor ‘mooring circles.’”\n\nNear the new site is the Bimini Road, a misnamed J-shaped underwater formation of stone blocks. A careful search there yielded two stone anchors in the 1800-foot long stone formation. “One of these is identical to unusual ancient Greek anchors found at Thera,” Little related. Several other artifacts were found, “but the most important finds directly contradict skeptical claims.” The team found numerous multiple tiers of blocks including one set of three on top of each other. “The top block has a U-shaped channel cu

Bermuda Triangle \n \nMap of the popularly-held dimensions of the Bermuda Triangle; recent claims by researchers allude to a more "trapezium" shape, extending back into the Gulf of Mexico and down into the Caribbean Sea, or in fact no dimensions at all, and a shape incorporating all of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean.The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean approximately triangular in shape and is famous for its supposed paranormal activities. The Bermuda Triangle's three corners are roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, giving it an area of nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²).\n\nParanormal Claims:\n\n"A significant number of ships and aircraft have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances." \n"Paranormal activity where the known laws of physics are violated." \nIt has even been suggested that "extraterrestrial beings are responsible for some of the disappearances." \nDespite popular belief, the United States Coast Guard and other agencies cite statistics indicating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily-travelled region of the world.[1] While many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon closer examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades,[2] many others still have no explanation.\n\n\nThe Triangle\nThe Triangle marks a corridor of the north Atlantic stretching northward from the West Indies along the North American seaboard as far as the Carolinas. To take advantage of prevailing winds, ships returning to Europe during the Age of Sail would sail north to the Carolinas before turning east to cross the north Atlantic. This pattern continued after the development of steam and internal combustion engines, meaning that much of the north Atlantic shipping traffic crossed (and still crosses) through the Triangle's area.\n\nThe Gulf Stream, an area of volatile weather, also passes through the Triangle as it leaves the West Indies. The combination of heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather made it inevitable that vessels would founder in storms and be lost without trace, especially before the telecommunications, radar and satellite technology of the late twentieth century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace.[3]\n\nOther areas often purported to possess unusual characteristics are the Devil's Sea, located near Japan, and the Marysburgh Vortex (or "Great Lakes Triangle"), located in eastern Lake Ontario. However, the "Devil's Sea" is not particularly well known in Japan, due to the fact that it seems as if the boats lost were mainly small fishing boats with no radios.\n\n\nHistory\n \nThe cover of the 1977 Panther paperback edition of Berlitz's The Bermuda Triangle\nFirst citations and name\nChristopher Columbus made mention of sightings of strange-looking animals near the border of the triangle and recorded near the area and now designated as the Bermuda Triangle. At one point he reports that he and his crew observed "strange dancing lights on the horizon". On another instance they observed what was most likely a falling meteor.[4]. At another point he wrote in his log about bizarre compass bearings in the area.\n\nThe first documented mention of disappearances in the area was made in 1951 by E.V.W. Jones as a sidebar on the Associated Press wire service regarding recent ship losses. Jones' article noted the "mysterious disappearances" of ships, aircraft and small boats in the region and gave it the name "The Devil's Triangle". It was next mentioned in 1952 in a Fate Magazine article by George X. Sand, who outlined several "strange marine disappearances". In 1964, Vincent Geddis referr

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean approximately triangular in shape and is famous for its supposed paranormal activities. The Bermuda Triangle is an approximate equilateral triangle with its three corners roughly defined by the islands of Bermuda (one corner) and Puerto Rico near its capital city San Juan (another corner), and near Miami, Florida (a third corner), giving it an area of nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²). (Other shapes have been proposed as well as dimensions and borders—see the map at the right and its caption.)\n\nThere are many claims of paranormal activity within the Triangle, especially the inexplicable disappearance of ships and aircraft, or of their crews. Other common claims made of the region are that the laws of physics do not operate here as they do elsewhere, or that extraterrestrial beings are responsible for the disappearances.

There is no real mystery to Bermuda Triangle. The main reason that so many incidences happened there was because it is a high traffic area. Just like a city road would have higher accidents than a rural road, Bermuda has more accidents than other routes. Some of the other reasons according to Kusche (a researcher) is:\n\n # In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur were, for the most part, neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious.\n\n# The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat listed as missing would be reported, but its eventual, if belated, return to port, may not be reported.\n\n# The circumstances of confirmed disappearances were frequently misreported in Berlitz's accounts. The numbers of ships disappearing in supposedly calm weather, for instance, did not tally with weather reports published at the time.\n\n# "The Legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery... perpetuated by writers who either purposely or unknowingly made use of misconceptions, faulty reasoning, and sensationalism.

the Bermudas triangle is not longer a mystery. what happens is that it has huge quantities of methanol gas which is constantly erupting gases from the bottom of the sea . this gas affects both airplanes and and ships.\n\n what happens whit the ships is that as the gas comes out it also produces huge bubles which had been proben to be able to break a large ship . this is why many of the people who used to cross the triangle constantly reported how huge waves just to came from nowhere from one moment to another.\n\non the other side the effect that metanol gass has in the airplanes is that as the gas comes out and croses the airplene this produces an... " optical effect" ... in the altitud of the control panel . this makes the person piloting think that the airplane  is gaing altitud whitout aparent reason. and cosecuently he star to think that his control panel is crazy making him make moves which cause the airplane to fall when he desides to lose some altitud becuz he thinks he has to much .

The Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved\nLarry Kusche\nThe mystery of the Bermuda Triangle had been told in books, magazine articles, and on television and radio talk shows for several years when, in 1972, Larry Kusche, then a reference librarian, decided to collect all the information he could find on each incident. He made contact with the Coast Guard, the Air Force, Lloyd's of London, and many other agencies. He obtained microfilm copies of newspapers from cities where various incidents had been reported. \n\nThis exhaustive research had an unexpected result - it solved the mystery. It also resulted in the publication of The Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved which is now back in print. Larry Kusche's book is more than an investigation of a mystery: it is a fascinating case history of a "manufactured mystery" in the making. It shows how over the years the raw materials of official accident reports, newspaper accounts articles in the mainstream press, and word of mouth have been assimilated into a "false mystery". \n\nThe Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved is the only book written on the Triangle that approaches the topic rationally, rather than as another great unsolved mystery of our time. Approximately 60 of the best-known cases are examined, in an unusual, but very clear and logical style. Kusche relates each incident as it has been told over the years. He then includes snippets from articles and reports that show what was written at that time. Kusche then discusses the incident, pointing out flaws in the story. \n\nThe Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved is the only book that critically examines the "mystery" and provides the reader with an alternative rational explanation to the sensationalist stories in the media. \n\nLarry Kusche is a technical writer, commercial pilot, and a flight instructor. He is the author of The Disappearance of Flight 19. \n\n302 pages Publication date 21st September, 1995

The term "Bermuda Triangle" was popularized by Vincent Gaddis in a 1964 Argosy feature.\n\nAn explanation for some of the disappearances focuses on the presence of vast fields of methane hydrates on the continental shelves. A paper was published in 1981 by the United States Geological Survey about the appearance of hydrates in the Blake Ridge area, off the southeastern United States coast. Periodic methane eruptions may produce regions of frothy water that are no longer capable of providing adequate buoyancy for ships. If this were the case, such an area forming around a ship could cause it to sink very rapidly and without warning. Laboratory experiments have proven that bubbles can, indeed, sink a scale model ship by decreasing the density of the water.\n\nHypothetically, methane gas might also be involved in airplane crashes, as it is not as dense as normal air and thus w

Coast Guard records confirm their conclusion.\n\nSkeptics comment that the disappearance of a train between two stops would be more convincing evidence of paranormal activity, and the fact that such things do not occur suggests that paranormal explanations are not needed for the disappearance of ships and airplanes in the far less predictable open ocean.\n[edit]\n\nKusche's research\n\nIntrigued by the number of students coming to him looking for information about the Bermuda Triangle, Lawrence Kusche, a reference librarian with Arizona State University at the time of the Flight 19 incident, began an exhaustive follow-up investigation of the original reports. His findings were eventually published in 1975 as The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved.\n\nKusche's research revealed a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies between Berlitz's accounts and statements from eyewitnesses, participants and others involved in the initial incidents. 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 attributed to the Bermuda Triangle's mysterious influence actually occurred well outside it.\n\nKusche came to several conclusions:\n\n    * The number of ships and airplanes reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than any other part of the ocean.\n    * In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur was neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious.\n    * The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat listed as missing would be reported, but not necessarily its eventual, if belated, return to port.\n    * The circumstances of confirmed disappearances were frequently misreported in Berlitz's accounts. The numbers of ships disappearing in supposedly calm weather, for instance, did not tally with weather reports published at the time.
