Has anyone ever wondered why the bermuda does not attract ships and planes anymore?

I'm not exactly sure whether this is the case.  For the ships, I believe they normally take a detour; while the planes, I believe, normally move to a much more higher altitude whenever they get to that region.

There's nothing special about the bermuda triangle.

If there's nothing 'special' about it, there won't be so much hype over it.  Maybe you should read these parts again:

#  The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is an area of the north Atlantic Ocean where it is popularly believed a significant number of ships and aircraft have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances. It has become popular through its representation by mass media as an area of paranormal activity where the known laws of physics are violated.

#  The area known as the Bermuda Triangle is one of the two places on Earth where a magnetic compass does point towards true north, a phenomenon called compass variation.

#  Additionally, readings on directional devices do not operate normally inside the triangle.

. . . and many more.

I suggest you do some research on the Bermuda Triangle to know what makes it really 'special'.

Do you have any evidence that any of that happens?

I knew a lady from Loch Ness, she said, "hey, what's the big deal with your serpent, anyway?" I replied, as only I could reply, "everyone's made a fuss about it. Ain't it obvious I have a large and unusual one?"

The number of wrecks in this area is not extraordinary, given its size, location and the amount of traffic it receives. Many of the ships and planes that have been identified as having disappeared mysteriously in the Bermuda Triangle were not in the Bermuda Triangle at all. Investigations to date have not produced scientific evidence of any unusual phenomena involved in the disappearances. Thus, any explanation, including so-called scientific ones in terms of methane gas being released from the ocean floor, magnetic disturbances, etc., are not needed. The real mystery is how the Bermuda Triangle became a mystery at all.

The modern legend of the Bermuda Triangle began soon after five Navy planes [Flight 19] vanished on a training mission during a severe storm in 1945. The most logical theory as to why they vanished is that lead pilot Lt. Charles Taylor’s compass failed. The trainees' planes were not equipped with working navigational instruments. The group was disoriented and simply, though tragically, ran out of fuel. No mysterious forces were likely to have been involved other than the mysterious force of gravity on planes with no fuel. It is true that one of the rescue planes blew up shortly after take-off, but this was likely due to a faulty gas tank rather than to any mysterious forces.

Research?

There's nothing special about the bermuda triangle. A lot of ships get lost in troubled waters - so what? it is troubled, violent waters that part of the atlantic anyway. The devil lives there? yeah, and I saw the Loch Ness monster in my backyard yesterday.

lmao

@Uzygirl
I suggest [i]you [/i]do some research on the bermuda triangle.
For a start check out this link http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq8-1.htm.
And for all that stuff about magnetic compass variations, heres what the US navy has to say:

It has been inaccurately claimed that the Bermuda Triangle is one of the two places on earth at which a magnetic compass points towards true north. Normally a compass will point toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 60 degrees at various locations around the World. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, navigators can find themselves far off course and in deep trouble. Although in the past this compass variation did affect the "Bermuda Triangle" region, due to fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field this has apparently not been the case since the nineteenth century.

Thats so funny.

Has anyone ever wondered why the bermuda does not attract ships and plan
Maybe the devil has moved out

i think there is no more parking space in there

ewo!unu no go kill person with laf.

No i suggest hes on spring break.

@ KAG & lafile

I'm quite surprised at this new revelation brought forward by you guys, as I've never read or come across any refutations to the stories about the Bermuda Triangle.

So what you guys are saying in essence is that all the talks about it being mysterious and all that are false?  Are you saing it's just a normal portion of the Atlantic ocean like any other?  If so, what then is it about the "triangle" part of it?

satan lives in the triangle with his wife and children. that huge hole is his mansion.

@Goodguy
This is a cut and paste from wikipedia (their reference is http://strangegr.tripod.com/strangeandparanormalactivities/id25.html)

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 accidents 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 regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands. It is also a heavily flown route for commercial and private aircraft heading towards Florida, the Carribean, and South America from points north.

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.

I hope it answers your question.

You mean with his wives and childrenS

he has only one wife and many childrensis.

LOL.How many bedrooms?

nobody as really come out with a clear evidence about this so-called traingle.iT might be true but i just dont belive the way it has been protred over the year decade , most fiction that facts

How many? ah you have to see the wide hole in the middle to understand it's a big mansion. there is life in there (Earth, Space and BTriangle)

there are mysteries in this life.

lol


Anyone ever been dere?

Pls, can anyone tell me about Bemuda traingle. I heard of it as a reference in a radio programme. It is like is a city of demons or where mysterious thing happen. Pls, can anyone tell me more about this place. Where is it located ?

it is where all the excess eba and ammalla is dumped at the end of those 3 day weddings and parties we are famous for!

on a more serious note, i am not sure what it is but hey, i am still asking myself how a plane works!!!! LOL what i mean by that is that they are loads of natural and man-mad stuff that facinate the heck out of me!!! have any of you seen the Northern lights at night?!?!?! absolutely amazing stuff that shows the wonder of God! what about the colour of the sky in the evenings?!?!?! listen, there are so many other things to study and admire that the bermuda triangle is not even close on my list.

if you are still trying to figure it out, try watching LOST!!!!! LOL

lmao

The Maldekians, and their slaves the Troglodytes, also known as Masmukiyya have been using the vast seas of the planet Earth for billions of years as a home base under the Bermuda Triangle, also called Angel's triangle.
