The Bermuda Triangle encompasses an area with large deposits of frozen gas hydates. Normally these are stable under pressure under the sea bed but occasionally the pressure is released, most commonly after an undersea landslide (very common of the Mississipi delta). When the pressure is reduced, gas (methane) is released and travels to the surface. Simple physics will tell you that water with gas bubbles will not be as buoyant as ordinary water thus a ship travelling over an area where gas is being released is likely to suddenly sink.\n\nAs for aircraft, the released gas gains an electrical charge as it rises through the water and at the point of emergence it causes localised magnetic disturbances which effect compasses and other electonic equipment.

I fly through it all the time on commercial airlines. So far the only thing I have lost is some of my luggage. Maybe that's where lost luggage goes.\n\nI don't think the Bermuda Triangle has had statistically more disappearances than any place else in the world. It just makes a better story. Here's what Bermuda-Triangle.org has to say about it:\nI quote:\n"The "Bermuda Triangle," or "Devil’s Triangle," is a mythical geographic area located off the southeastern coast of the United States that is noted for an apparent high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats and aircraft. The apexes of the Triangle are generally accepted to be Bermuda, Miami, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.\n\nIn the past, extensive but futile Coast Guard searches, prompted by search and rescue cases such as the disappearance of an entire squadron of TBM Avengers shortly after take-off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida (1945), or the sinking of the Marine Sulphur Queen in the Florida Straits (1963), have lent credence to popular belief in the mysterious and supernatural qualities of the "Bermuda Triangle."\n\nCountless theories attempting to explain the many disappearances have been offered throughout the history of the area. The most reasonable seem to be citing human errors and environmental factor.\n\nThe majority of disappearances can be attributed to the area's unique features. The Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current flowing from the Gulf of Mexico around the Florida Straits northeastward toward Europe, is extremely swift and turbulent. It can quickly erase any evidence of a disaster."\n\nFrom:\nhttp://www.bermuda-triangle.org/html/coast_guard_opinion.html

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 the southernmost tip of 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. 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, 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, a great deal more shipping traffic was, and 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 (pigeons?), 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 disappearances 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\nAnother area often purported to possess unusual characteristics is the Devil's Sea, located near Japan.

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

The Bermuda Triangle (a.k.a. Devil's Triangle) is a mysterious triangle off the coast of Florida. It is a dangerous area due to it's constantly changing weather patterns and dangerous seas. Ships, planes, subs and other transports have perished in present day there. It is said that aliens and Atlantis is there.

Bermuda Triangle, region of the western Atlantic Ocean that has become associated in the popular imagination with mysterious maritime disasters. Also known as the Devil's Triangle, the triangle-shaped area covers about 1,140,000 sq km (about 440,000 sq mi) between the island of Bermuda, the coast of southern Florida, and Puerto Rico.\n\nThe sinister reputation of the Bermuda Triangle may be traceable to reports made in the late 15th century by navigator Christopher Columbus concerning the Sargasso Sea, in which floating masses of gulfweed were regarded as uncanny and perilous by early sailors; others date the notoriety of the area to the mid-19th century, when a number of reports were made of unexplained disappearances and mysteriously abandoned ships. The earliest recorded disappearance of a United States vessel in the area occurred in March 1918, when the USS Cyclops vanished.\n\nThe incident that consolidated the reputation of the Bermuda Triangle was the disappearance in December 1945 of Flight 19, a training squadron of five U.S. Navy torpedo bombers. The squadron left Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with 14 crewmen and disappeared after radioing a series of distress messages; a seaplane sent in search of the squadron also disappeared. Aircraft that have disappeared in the area since this incident include a DC-3 carrying 27 passengers in 1948 and a C-124 Globemaster with 53 passengers in 1951. Among the ships that have disappeared was the tankership Marine Sulphur Queen, which vanished with 39 men aboard in 1963.\n\nBooks, articles, and television broadcasts investigating the Bermuda Triangle emphasize that, in the case of most of the disappearances, the weather was favorable, the disappearances occurred in daylight after a sudden break in radio contact, and the vessels vanished without a trace. However, skeptics point out that many supposed mysteries result from careless or biased consideration of data. For example, some losses attributed to the Bermuda Triangle actually occurred outside the area of the triangle in inclement weather conditions or in darkness, and some can be traced to known mechanical problems or inadequate equipment. In the case of Flight 19, for example, the squadron commander was relatively inexperienced, a compass was faulty, the squadron failed to follow instructions, and the aircraft were operating under conditions of deteriorating weather and visibility and with a low fuel supply. Other proposed explanations for disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle include the action of physical forces unknown to science, a “hole in the sky,” an unusual chemical component in the region's seawater, and abduction by extraterrestrial beings.\n\nScientific evaluations of the Bermuda Triangle have concluded that the number of disappearances in the region is not abnormal and that most of the disappearances have logical explanations. Paranormal associations with the Bermuda Triangle persist in the public mind, however.

The "Bermuda or Devil's Triangle" is an imaginary area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States, which is noted for a high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats, and aircraft. \n\nThe apexes of the triangle are generally accepted to be Bermuda, Miami, Fla., and San Juan, Puerto Rico.\n\nCountless theories attempting to explain the many disappearances have been offered throughout the history of the area. The most practical seem to be environmental and those citing human error. The majority of disappearances can be attributed to the area's unique environmental features. First, the "Devil's Triangle" is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north. Normally it points toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 20 degrees as one circumnavigates the earth. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, a navigator could find himself far off course and in deep trouble.\n\nAnother environmental factor is the character of the Gulf Stream. It is extremely swift and turbulent and can quickly erase any evidence of a disaster. The unpredictable Caribbean-Atlantic weather pattern also plays its role. Sudden local thunder storms and water spouts often spell disaster for pilots and mariners. \n\nFinally, the topography of the ocean floor varies from extensive shoals around the islands to some of the deepest marine trenches in the world. With the interaction of the strong currents over the many reefs the topography is in a state of constant flux and development of new navigational hazards is swift.

do you mean bermuda triangle?if u do then..\n\nThe location of the Bermuda Triangle is around the east coast of Florida and Peurto Rico and also a little part of it is next to South Carolina \n\nThe Bermuda Triangle is famous for the disappearences of over 66 airplanes and ships. The most famous disapearance is an airplane called flight 19. The ship disappeared over 30 years ago and it hasn't been seen since. \n\nThe Bermuda Triangle is a windy yet sunny place. It's temperature is usually around 60-100+ degrees. The Bermuda Triangle doesn't have distinct seasons. The bermuda Triangle has winds that are normaly around 10 miles m.p.h \n\nThe Bermuda Triangle has many interesting facts so here are three of them:\n1) The Bermuda Triangle is not actually a triangle in fact it does't even have a definite shape it never has had a offical boundry.\n2) The Bermuda Triangle has supposedly been responsible for more than over 66 planes and ships.\n3) The Bermuda Triangle has not sucked in all the ships and planes that come near it or over it only a few of them.

My favourite theory so far is the eruption of gas bubbles in the region, whether from instable methane hydrate or other sources.\n\nThe effective density of water gets reduced when gas bubbles are pushed through it, causing ships to sink.\n\nAircraft might be affected, too. Most Bermuda Triangle mysteries are about uncommon disappearences.\n\nThis won't explain any temporal or spatial displacement stories, but proof for those is shaky, IMO.

The mistery of Bermuda triangle is a series of magnetic disturbances connected to a place in the Caribean Ocean where several planes and ships have been lost without explanation. It is called Triangle because the Bermuda islands, Miami and San Juan Puerto Rico can be used to plot a triangle on a map and this magnetic disturbances happen in the triangular area among these locations.  In 1945, flight 19 of the US Navy was lost.  Several Avenger airplanes and their crews were missing and haven´t been found. Those airplanes had radio communication and navigational instruments that apparently failed without a convincing explanation.

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 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 legend.)\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

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

There really is no mystery to the Bermuda Triangle. It's simply not that dangerous.....\n\nPlease read "The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved" by Kische. The author came to a few well-supported conclusions, such as :\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.\n\nLloyd's of London, the marine insurer, has also detrmined that the area is statistically no more dangerous than other areas of the Ocean. The US Coast Guard supports this.

Basically, there is no secret about the 'Bermuda Triangle'. If you compare the rate of ship-loss and aircraft loss to other, equally busy shipping channels around the world, there basically is no statistical difference between the number of ships lost in the Bermuda Triangle and ships lost anywhere else in the world. Lloyds of London insures things such as ships and aircraft so they were capable of making statistical analysis and the shipping lane and found nothing out of the ordinary. The only thing out of the ordinary is how so many people caught onto the books released in i believe the 50's where authors attempted to make some money by blowing the mishaps in the Bermuda Triangle out of proportion.
