Everyone's heard of the Bermuda Triangle. If you believe what passes for information on the place, you'd hear that it's a region of ocean roughly triangular in shape, with its points at either Miami or Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the island of Bermuda, and the island of Puerto Rico, and that it's legendary for making ships, planes, and people disappear right off the face of the earth. One of the more famous examples was Flight 19, a group of five Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Triangle on a routine training mission on December 5th, 1945. Supposedly they wound up in this dense cloud bank, radioed back one final message, then disappeared. Two PBY Catalina seaplanes were dispached to seach for the flight, but one of those disappeared as well. There's also been instances of ships disappearing, or just the people on them. Now, to be fair, the disappearance of Flight 19 was probably caused by the fact that the trainer had just transfered from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale and freaked out when he couldn't recognize anything then got lost, and the PBY Catalina planes were notorious for blowing up midflight, and a midair explosion was reported where the missing Catalina would have been. Bad weather also explains a lot of the boat disappearances, as it is located right in the middle of the path that hurricanes and other strong storms take up the coast of Florida. Many theories have been pitched to explain the remaining cases, from aliens, to magnetic anomalies, to gas "bumps", to bad weather. However, none of them have even come close.
