Is there really such a thing as 'The Bermuda Triangle'?

Question

I know there's a place called Bermuda but about the apparent triangle where ships are lost and lifes lost etc what is that all about?

Answer 1

It's just an imaginary triangle on the map. But it is mostly people with too much free time giving the triangle its evil fame. Thousands of ships and planes cross that zone every year and nothing happens. And those that "get lost" are not really lost, they are at the bottom of the ocean where no one can reach them, they are just sad accidents.

"The boundaries of the Triangle vary with the author; some stating its shape is akin to a trapezium covering the Straits of Florida, 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."

Answer 2

Charles Berlitz had a talent for kidding himself if he wasn't an outright fake.

Of the various incidents, any plane or ship that was lost that had ANY part of it's path intersecting the area he chose was labelled as "Lost in the triangle".
The planes the military lost? They knew where they went down. Did all along. Never hid it, never publisized. Some people don't feel the need to answer crackpots.
Some of the planes he mentions never existed!

I suggest an excellent book called "Flim-Flam", an exposure of most of the nonsense that people tend to believe in, well-documented and easy to understand, and I actually have experienced some VERY strange things.

Good luck in your search. Stay critical and sharp. It's a slippery slide into conspiracy theory and kookhood for people. As easy as it is to slip into "It's all nonsense and I don't want to see any evidence, cause its a waste of time" on the other side!

Answer 3

-----There is, physically, a big area on the map east of the State of Florida, USA, called the "Bermuda Triangle". However, nothing happens there that does not happen in any equal-sized area with equal traffic. Some people have tried to give it a reputation as a place where mystic and para-normal events happen. Water travel and travel over water is dangerous; bad things just sometimes happen, there and elsewhere. ---Jim

Answer 4

Yes, and it's all very scientific as to why these things are disappearing. I do not believe it to be UFO's or things like that. But there does seem to be some sort of vortex which sucks these things away to oblivion.

Answer 5

Of course, Ships have disappeared there for hundreds of years, and planes have disappeared for 100 years.
