Answer 2

The Bermuda Triangle is not a true myth nor is it a mystery.
It is just one of the areas on this Earth that has a naturally occurring magnetic field.
It is this phenomenon, that can and did interfere with early radio, aviation and nautical navigation equipment.
Another notable similar area, that has actually been responsible for more loss of ships and planes is near Japan.
Areas on land have and are also responsible for radio loss and interference with technological equipment.
With significant advances in technology, these dangers are no longer such a concern.
This accounts for there being a drastic reduction of incidents since the end of the 1970s.
The Bermuda Triangle is actually in one of America's busiest and most covered the flight paths.
There is certainly no great crystal mirror at the bottom of the sea as the sensationalist authors of the late 70s and early 80s would have like us to believe. Nor is it anywhere near the location of what is thought to have been the location of the civilisation that was called by later writers Atlantis.
This relates to the island of Santorini in the Mediterranean. It's advanced culture was totally destroyed about 1500B.C.
This civilisation fits all the clues left for us by the ancient Greek and Roman writers of the time.
Sadly for some authors and believers the actual level of technical advancement of the real "Atlantis" and claims regarding it, are just another over worked myth. That has been dispelled by modern research and technology.
Both should be treated with the same level of credibility given to those who are convinced that,The Pyramids of Giza were built by,or with the help of aliens.

Answer 3

It does, I was stationed at the Naval Air Station Bermuda before they closed it down. In earlier times aircraft and ships had been known to disapear while in the triangle.

The studies done, although not conclusive, thought the atmosphere in the triangle might have interfered with aircrafts earlier less sophisticated onboard electronic devices causing them to have a false reading on headings.

Basically messing up the aircrafts gages, then the plane would fly off course, run out of fuel and crash or just crash in the ocean because the gages were giving an incorrect false horizon.

But I still reside in Bermuda and to this day I have yet to see a person dis

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean which has been made infamous for the many people, aircraft, and surface vessels said to have disappeared within its bounds. Many of these disappearances involve a level of mystery which are often popularly explained by a variety of theories beyond human error or acts of nature, often involving the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings. An abundance of documentation for most incidents suggests that the Bermuda Triangle is a sailors' legend, later embellished on by professional writers.

The boundaries of the Triangle vary with the author; some stating its shape is akin to a trapezium covering the Florida Straits, the Bahamas, and the entire Caribbean island area east to the Azores; others add to it the Gulf of Mexico. The more familiar, triangular boundary in most written works has as its points Miami, Florida, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda, with most of the incidents concentrated along the southern boundary around the Bahamas and the Florida Straits.

The area is one of the most heavily-sailed shipping lanes in the world, with ships crossing through it daily for ports in the Americas and Europe, as well as the Caribbean islands. Cruise ships are also plentiful, and pleasure craft (boats and aircraft) regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands.

The Gulf Stream ocean current flows through the Triangle after leaving the Gulf of Mexico; its current of five to six knots may have played a part in a number of disappearances. Sudden storms can and do appear, and in the summer to late fall the occasional hurricane strikes the area. The combination of heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather makes it inevitable that vessels could founder in storms and be lost without a trace — especially before improved telecommunications, radar and satellite technology arrived late in the 20th century

Answer 5

It's true....Recent studies show gas emissions from the bottom of the ocean (in the "Bermuda triangle")have been sinking ships and bringing down planes....look it up. Been to Bermuda every year for the last twenty years.

Answer 6

The fact that it exists has already been established. Some thing can be proven. Example plane crashes and sinking boats can result from methane gas, common in the area. Methane gas can get into plane engines and cause the engine to quit. What cannot be explained is reports of so called "missing time."

Answer 7

yea it exists... people get lost there... didnt you hear about a entire air patrol that got lost there back around the 40's or 50's? plus theres been boats that mysteriously sank.. planes that would shut down and compasses that would mess up... its acctually there.. some people have some weird stories and most dont have any stories at all.... depends on how many times the people flew or been through there... throughout history ships dissapeared there or the ships would be there and the whole Crew would be missing... it happend so much that they started to stop blaiming pirates since there was no proof

some people even think that the list city of Atlantis is there and they think that Thats the reason for the compasses screwing up.. but who knows

Answer 8

yes, the actual triangle exists but the myth is false.
i went to Bermuda on vacation one year and our tour boat traveled through the triangle, so i know for fact that it's just a superstition.
