[__ Science __ ] The Bermuda Triangle

[HeIsRisen2018]

Maybe one of the biggest mysteries of all time isn't all that mysterious after all.

I loved Sagan's observation. He noted that there are all sorts of mysterious airplane and boat disappearances over oceans, but never a case for trains.

I have a spot in my garden that I call the Bermuda Triangle. Everything I've tried planting there dies. The stuff around it grows just fine.

Trains tend to not traverse oceans

Yep. No triangles where we can know for sure what happened.

We are sure methane bubbles do not support a ship, enabling it to float. I am not sure if this phenomenon (released from the ocean in this area) also affects aircraft?

I AM sure that navigational difficulties affect all types of travel in the area. The biggest contributor is people setting off for a distant island, not accounting for the fact that a slight error in course will result in them never being seen again.
