The BT is a fake issue used to sell books imho. There was even a book written about it that debunked all the mysterious theories revolving around the aircraft disappearances. The final quote was something like, "Once you look at the statistics the mystery simply goes away."

Aircrafts fall out of the sky. Ships sink.
The ocean is vast, and deep. There are also currents underneath.
Finding something, even know the entry point, several weeks later, is tough. Several years, decades later, is really remote.
Here is another thought. When was the last reported Bermuda Triangle plane/ship/whatever disappearance that you heard of? Anything, say, in the last 10 years? Hmmm. I haven't either.

No, the triangle is real. You can find it on a map, go take a tour, etc.
The events are also real. A LOT of boats have gone down in that area, plus a few other things. The disasters are very real.
The causes/reasons that people hold for how the wrecks came about is what is in doubt.

Sure, the BT may be 'real', but just because we can't explain something doesn't mean that there is something nefarious or some superEarth being involved. My point about the very deep ocean is that many stories have involved unexplained disappearances, as if it implied that we will never find the missing ship/aircraft because it is gone forever, while the only reason we can't find the thing that disappeared because the missing object is at the bottom of a very deep ocean, not easy to access. Because we cannot find whatever it is that disappeared, we can't investigate what went wrong.
Ashereng has a good point about currents. Recently there was a piece of an F-14 that broke off when the jet went down east of Florida coastline. Years later the piece of tail washed up on the Irish coast!

My monitor started to act funny the instant I visited so there may be something to it.
Of course, I later found that the power cord was loose; nonetheless, the monitor problem only manifested itself when I went to that website.

Get a new monitor and power bar. Then try the site again.
That will be a scientific test. ;-)

Why should I be any different than the site's creator? ;-)
Actually, the site claims that there have been a similarly higher proportion of missing aircraft, vessels, etc., in the last 30 yrs as well. I suppose that it's possible that people simply got bored with the "mystery" since there's essentially been no progress in solving it in last 30 yrs, so no one is making any big noises about that.

There was a show on television attempting to blame the sinkings on huge methane gas bubbles. They sank some fair sized models in a test tank by releasing large volumes of gas under them and were able to stall an old aircraft engine by releasing methane gas so that it was sucked into the air intake.
They made it look possible, but I think that a lot of the accidents were just that; accidents caused by a variety of reasons.

Self-fulfilling prophecy...
because of all the hype anyone going there is unusually or even subconciously unsettled and this causes them to make mistakes... crash and burn.
We need to determine the proportion of missing vessels and aircraft where the crew were aware of the BT mystery compared to those who were unaware... of course, we have to find them first but how about we test everyone going into the are before hand and see how many come out again?
OK, so how do we do this without alerting them to the mystery in the first place?
That's Ok though, if we make sure everyone knows in advance then we should have an icnrease in the disaster rate.
Will that do it?

The reason why nothing has been reported lately from the Bermuda Triangle is because reporters have gone there to investigate and then have also disappeared. Spooky
Those reporters that went missing have been replaced by alien brain sucking reptoids. The evidence can be seen by watching Fox news in the USA.
You all confuse my by referring to BT. BT is British Telecom, which is also a mysterious company in England. Please take a few microseconds longer from your life and don't use acronymns if you can help it.

The kind of experiment that jmw suggested would go a long way in clearing up the myth associated with the Triangle. But I wonder how many people would volunteer for it in the 1st place.
Does anyone believe that these disappearences could have anything to do with the Philadelphia experiments conducted by the American navy?
