From: Bermuda (or "Devil's") Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle (a.k.a. the Devil's Triangle) is a triangular area in the Atlantic Ocean bounded roughly at its points by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Legend has it that many people, ships and planes have mysteriously vanished in this area. How many have mysteriously disappeared depends on who is doing the locating and the counting. The size of the triangle varies from 500,000 square miles to three times that size, depending on the imagination of the author. (Some include the Azores, the Gulf of Mexico, and the West Indies in the "triangle.") Some trace the mystery back to the time of Columbus. Even so, estimates range from about 200 to no more than 1,000 incidents in the past 500 years. Howard Rosenberg claims that in 1973 the U.S. Coast Guard answered more than 8,000 distress calls in the area and that more than 50 ships and 20 planes have gone down in the Bermuda Triangle within the last century.
Many theories have been given to explain the extraordinary mystery of these missing ships and planes. Evil extraterrestrials, residue crystals from Atlantis, evil humans with anti-gravity devices or other weird technologies, and vile vortices from the fourth dimension are favorites among fantasy writers. Strange magnetic fields and oceanic flatulence (methane gas from the bottom of the ocean) are favorites among the technically-minded. Weather (thunderstorms, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, high waves, currents, etc.) bad luck, pirates, explosive cargoes, incompetent navigators, and other natural and human causes are favorites among skeptical investigators.

One of the legends of the sea that has persisted even to today is the story of the Bermuda Triangle. Here ships and airplanes seem to disappear more often than in other parts of the ocean. Usually the craft are never seen again, which is not too surprising in an area noted for hurricanes and high waves. The Bermuda Triangle covers an area from the southern Virginia coast to Bermuda to the Bahama Islands.
Is the Bermuda Triangle really the "graveyard of the Atlantic"? We guess that most of the disappearances of boats and planes could be explained if only someone other than those who sank had been there to watch what really happened.
Imagine, for now, that you are the captain of a sailing ship that has wandered into the Bermuda Triangle. After all, ships from Maine explored the Seven Seas bringing fish and lumber from northern New England all over the world.

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).
Paranormal Claims:
* "A significant number of ships and aircraft have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances."
* "Paranormal activity where the known laws of physics are violated."
* It has even been suggested that "extraterrestrial beings are responsible for some of the disappearances."

Bermuda Triangle is situated in the Atlantic Ocean. Whatever goes over that portion it will disappear. It is nothing but a Meteor fell over the Atlantic Ocean. So, because of the heat it pulls even an aeroplane. We can bear only upto 55 degrees celcius. But in that area it is above 80 degrees. It is also called Devil's triangle.

Sailed through there once... seemed nice. The mystery came up in conversation a few times.
...I lived to tell about it at least.
My version of the physical boundaries of the roughly equilateral triangle are denoted by the following vertices:
Hamilton, Bermuda
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Many of the islands of the Bahamas as well as the Turks and Caicos Islands fall within the triangle. Maybe everyone who just disappeared without a trace took up a new life on one of the islands.

Nothing to tell really.
Only surface ships have disappeared. All the stories about planes etc, either did not happen or were outside the Triangle. Since we have had a proper satellite system scientists have observed freak waves in the area at an alarming frequency. They are caused by the currents meeting up. As far as the serious observer (me) is concerned........mystery solved.
I must admit I am a bit disappointed but I am 100% convinced that the mystery is solved.

I grew up on a boat. Now, we are no longer conversing approximately some 15' fishing boat that your dad keeps in the driveway, yet a 40 8' crusing vessel. My dad made a buttload of money in the early 80's and we moved aboard for 3 a million/2 years and in basic terms sailed around to work out what shall we see. in the previous we moved aboard, we thoroughly rebuilt the boat and altered something and each little thing that confirmed signs and indicators of harm. New engine, electronics, batteries, sails, all navigation kit, finished refit of the galley and quarters, the works. For all intents and applications, this became a sparkling boat that happend to have a 12 year previous hull. on a similar time as crusing in the Bahamas, we'd from time to time have the compass bypass off by as much as fifteen levels for some hours. that may not sound like plenty, yet in case you haven't any longer have been given something yet water thoroughly surrounding you and there is not any longer everywhere to "pull over to ask guidelines" it could get dicey approximately what you will run into. a three ton metallic barge-mooring bouy will drop a small craft like ours to the backside in seconds. One time in specific, we misplaced ALL electric means for somewhat over an hour. We finished maintenance on the batteries weekly and that i checked them in my opinion. They study to be totally charged, besides the undeniable fact that we could no longer even get the smallest easy again on everywhere. the main swap and all of the breakers have been "on" yet we had NO means. fortuitously, being a crusing vessel, it did no longer make that massive a difference in us getting everywhere. a first rate sailor does not even desire a rudder and can steer by utilising the sails. yet nonetheless, we could no longer use any of the electronics that informed us the place we've been. After approximately an hour, the means got here returned. We did no longer make any alterations to something (besides the undeniable fact that we had checked actually each circuit and turn in the entire equipment) besides the undeniable fact that it became as though the electrical powered energy had in basic terms been allowed to artwork returned. What reasons it to take place? I even have rather no theory. Is it genuine that unusual issues take place in the BT? I even have rather little question. i've got considered it.
