@Setanta,
anything can be solved with a little liquor and trigonometry.
The real reason for the reported shipwrecks and plane disappearances is because (mostly) both ship and plane traffic seem to cluster up as ships come to port and depart. same thing with planes. Theres more USAF AMC qnd SAC and US navy bases bases along the South from Oceana Va through the Carolinas and Fla than in the Mid Atlantic. (And the N mid atlantic flyways are great circle qnd not trans Atlantic like they re in the south)
Some wag did an actual count of disappearances of ships several decades ago and found that, to the contrary, with the number of ins and outs for boat traffic in the "triangle", there werent really any more spooky happenings than anywhere else (except for the Great Lakes, that place is fuckin scary), and besides, there are reports of dinosaurs (stegosaurs)along the Great Lakes, somehwere on the Canadian side
