what is d BERMUDA TRIANGLE ???

Bermuda Triangle is geographical term - on that location (triangle Bermuda-Miami-Puerto Rico) several disappearings of planes or boats happened in history.

thank-s a lot!!
10x a lot 4 posting ur reply..

but how do things dissapear??

i mean if u pass through it, do u dissapear???

Well, there have been strange things happening for a long time there, but it is still unexplained. You don't necessarily disappear, but it has happened.

More than 50 ships and 20 airplanes are said to have mysteriously disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle - some ships were discovered completely abandoned for no apparent reason; others transmitted no distress signals and were never seen or heard from again.

This may have happened due to various reasons - from pirates to (the most likely) insurance related.


Some losses:

A theory be a German historian (from the late 90's) asked:
Bermuda Triangle Stargate? - A CONNECTION TO ATLANTIS? - Do Newly Mapped Magnetic Anomalies Point to the Stars?

Walter, I just love links like this.

Thanks, it'll keep me interested for a good while.

On interesting theory I've heard (it's easy to visualize), involves large pockets of air rising to the surface. We're talking air pockets bigger than ships, so if one came up under a ship...

SCoates,
The explanation I heard involved pockets of methane gas (not just air)--methane pockets are known to exist within the earth's crust in the Bermuda triangle area. Some models done in a university setting demonstrated that a large enough bubble of released methane gas could sink a ship (if the ship was unfortunate enough to be directly above the release) in <30 sec--not enough time for a distress call. Also, since methane is less dense than air, it would wreak havoc with an airplane's altimeter. In simulations, the result was a reading that indicated to the pilot that the plane was climbing sharply, while in fact it was holding a steady altitude. In low visibility, a pilot flying only by the instruments might "correct" for the perceived increase in altitude and fly straight into the ocean.

The thing I've heard has to do with science and weather...not that interesting I know I know...

It is a complete myth.

Gee Harper now we all hope that ain't applying for your avater actually representing you



...well OK I'm sorry for that

Not really. It is a measurable geographic phenomenon where an unusual amount of documented disappearances have happened. As to why, that's another question.
