well, i guess it must be the combination of the magnetic field being slightly changed, therefore the compasses not working properly, and maybe the bad tropical weather...?
It caused a couple of accidents, and then people were talking about it and exaggerated it to the point where legend was born. |

some odd years ago, it was the most discussed mystery of the day, a region where at any moment a mysterious fog might cling to a vessel like tight clothing, where the navigational instruments might fail, where ships, planes, and people simply vanished, where the occupants of an aircraft might experience a time distortion. Although you may not hear much about the Bermuda Triangle these days, mysterious events still transpire in the infamous region. Take this case:It should have been an uneventful trip, a short flight from the Freeport International Airport in the Bahamas to West Palm Beach. The six-seat Piper Lance II took off at 5:35 a.m. on July 29, 2002. Within a few minutes, the craft reached 4,700 feet and the pilot switched radio contact from Freeport to the Miami air traffic control.But the plane fell off the radar 25 minutes after take-off and crashed 15 miles off the north coast of Grand Bahama Island. |
