Has there been any mysterious incident in the Bermuda Triangle?

Question

We had been reaading a lot about the mysterious incidents of ships, airplanes and boats going missing in the Bermuda Triangle but, as far as I remember, there was no incident reported during the last two decades.

Answer 1

The Bermuda triangle lies between the Cities of Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Fort Lauderdale. People, ships and aicraft have been mysteriously disappearing off the face of the earth whilst travelling inside this triangle for as long as records have been kept.
It is also known as the Devil's Triangle, Limbo of the Lost, Hoodoo Sea and the Twilight Zone. In this area numerous planes and ships have vanished without a trace, often in good weather or near a landing site or port. Just before disappearing, crews have often made radio contact indicating that nothing was wrong. In some rare instances, ships have been found, but with their crew or passengers missing.

The myth of the mysterious triangle was first begun in an Associated Press dispatch of September 16, 1950. Reporter E.V. W. Jones wrote of "mysterious disappearances" of ships and planes between the Florida coast and Bermuda. Two years after this article appeared Fate magazine ran an article by George X. Sand about a "series of strange marine disappearances, each leaving no trace whatever, that have taken place in the past few years in a watery triangle bounded roughly by Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico".

However strange phenomena have been reported since Christopher Columbus's voyage to America. In 1492, shortly before making land in the West Indies, Columbus recorded in his ship's log that he and his crew had observed a large ball of fire fall into the sea and that the ship's compass was behaving erratically. On October 11, the eve of their historic landfall, Columbus and another man saw a light over the water which vanished abruptly. Within hours land was sighted. While these incidents have been cited as the first known indications that the Bermuda Triangle is fraught with bizarre happenings, Columbus himself was not apparently disturbed by what he had seen. The ball of fire may have been a meteor, a fire on the shore, a torch in an Indian's boat or even an hallucination.

Other phenomena witnessed in the area include bright lights or balls of fire; sudden explosive red flares in the sky; and UFO sightings which are above tha national average. Airplane crew members report sudden power failures, instrument failures, and their inability to maintain altitude. In the lore of fishermen, the Bermuda Triangle is inhabited by monsters that kidnap ships. One theory is that unusual weather conditions are responsible, other theories propose that phenomena are caused by alignments of the planets, time warps that trap ships and planes, forces emanating from the unknown ruins of Atlantis, or cosmic tractor beams sent from UFOs to kidnap ships and people.

Answer 2

I actually watched this show about it last night. They said that something happens every week but either it doesn't get reported or the news doesn't pick it up.. The show was interesting.. they were saying that one possible explanation could be natural gas. There are many spots on the ocean floor that natural gas leaks out but what if one of those spouts get clogged, the pressure builds and a lot of gas escapes (a huge bubble, the size of a ship). It could possibly sink a ship. Then for the airplanes.. when the gas rises up in the air, it make the instruments go crazy as well as makes the engines stall. Someone found 5 airplanes on the ocean floor, they thought it could be this group of them that disappeared in the 40's. They went down to check it out and discovered that each plane had crashed years apart so it makes sense to me that there could be a gas pocket that each of them went through.. but ya never know.
