BACTERIA BLAMED FOR BERMUDA TRIANGLE
Scientists at Cardiff University are studying whether bacteria that thrive in the high pressures of deep ocean sediments could be a source of sustainable energy. Some of the bacteria spew methane that accumulates in massive fields of ice-like "methane hydrates." Methane hydrates might also be the secret behind an old mystery.
From the press release:
"One theory now suggests that when the covering of "methane ice" which exists over much of the seabed of the Bermuda Triangle becomes unstable; this causes instability of the sea and an explosive mixture of air and methane above. Any ships or planes travelling over the area could sink or catch fire."
"So ancient, deep-sediment bacteria may be a key to sustainable energy in the future and to explaining a few disasters," said Professor (R. John) Parkes.

Taken from Wikipedia...
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region of the Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared in what are said to be circumstances that fall beyond the boundaries of human error or acts of nature. Some of these disappearances have been attributed to the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings by popular culture. Although a substantial documentation exists showing numerous incidents to have been inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, several others remain unexplained.

The BERMUDA triangle is an area that has historically been on several popular shipping routes and has had a lot of shipping traffic. It has had its fair share of shipping accidents. Since it is heavily traveled, this means, statistically, that there have been a lot of accidents. Many people believe that there is some supernatural cause to the large number of sinking's and disappearances. Science does not back this up.

The secret is that people are paranoid, ignorant of basic statistics, and interested in ghosts stories. There is no real secret. All the "mysterious" events surrounding the triangle are purely coincidence, when they are even mysterious at all. "Ooooh... some planes and boats disappeared there! That NEVER happens anywhere else." Oh, yes it does!

People love a mystery ! Many ships and planes have disappeared over many years. Books have been written, movies and t.v. films made, and now so many people are convinced there is something sinister about the area. Aliens, monsters, parallel dimensions, you name it. My opinion? Accidents happen. The entire area is known for severe weather.

The secret is that my wife is in there and eats all the boats. As for the airplanes...drunk pilots.
