Do airplanes now fly through the Bermuda Triangle?

Hello Captain Lim,

This is Steven. I am curious to know if airplanes now fly through the Bermuda Triangle. I know, back in the days, lots of airplanes and ships were lost there. Do pilots still try to avoid that area? I have heard that there is a strong magnetic field or something there. Do you know what  really goes on there?

Thank you,

Steven

Hi Steven,

In my opinion, the Bermuda Triangle, like the Loch Ness Monster, is only a myth. Yes, I know many people, including those who love mysteries, would not agree with me. Well, the Triangle, located somewhere between Bermuda, Miami and San Juan in the Caribbean, is no more a dangerous part of the ocean than any other.

True, there were some planes and ships lost within or in the vicinity of the Triangle, and for sure, human beings, for what they are, would just love to attribute accidents to some causes, whether real or imagined. Yes, the Bermuda Triangle is also partly a paranormal pursuit of some that believe in the involvement of ghosts, demons or angels. Hence, the mysteries of the Triangle have flourished since the time of Christopher Columbus.

Remember, in the month of September 2005 where there were a series of air crashes, some theories were floating around that they were related or even explained through some supernatural intervention!

What theories have been raised to support the mysteries so far? Well, things like methane gas being released from the ocean floor; unexplained magnetic disturbances; some severe electrostatic charge affecting the human central nervous system and causing the pilot to lose consciousness are some of them. For example, there was the case of a private pilot flying in a single-engine airplane on a night solo cross-country flight, whilst under radar with Jacksonville approach, crashed into the sea somewhere around the area. Of course, the speculation was – the Bermuda Triangle factor! In reality, the NTSB attributed the probable cause to spatial disorientation – the main cause of accidents of a pilot who lacks experience in instrument flying. (He only had one hour solo night flying experience and the rest of his instrument flying times were under dual instruction. It was also a dark night with no visible horizon.) Spatial disorientation was also the cause of the JFK Junior crash – further away to the North of the Triangle. Had it been nearer, one would imagine what the speculation would be.

Do pilots still try to avoid this area? If they do, I believe they have to be those who are still obsessed with the Triangle mysteries. In reality, I see no reason why any pilots would avoid this Triangle if they have to fly through it.

In fact, from the Jeppesen Navigation Enroute Charts for pilots, there are five Airways that crisscross the Triangle. Of these, two (Airways B646, A637) connect air traffic from all over Florida to Bermuda. One from Nassau, Bahamas (Airways A555) links to San Juan and two more (Airways L435, L375) pass overhead the Triangle towards the African Continent. If the dangers of the Bermuda Triangle were true, the airspace above it would have been declared by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) as a prohibited airspace to enhance air safety!

What about stories of strong magnetic field there? Well, magnetic field exists all over the Globe at varying strength. Hence, pilots need to be aware of the variations in different part of the world when navigating in the air.

The Bermuda Triangle Mystery

Dear Captain Lim

The Bermuda Triangle Mystery is not a mystery.
In matters aviation accidents – static electricity could be the reason. You as experienced captain be the judge.

The Bermuda Triangle Mystery

Dear Peter,

If static electicity is the reason causing airplanes to crash over the Bermuda Triangle, ICAO would have declared the airspace above it to be totally prohibited. At the last count, there are 5 major airways criscrossing above the Bermuda Triangle.

Static electricity exists everywhere, especially in cumulonimbus clouds, not just over the Bermuda Triangle!

Thank you for your interesting contribution. smilies/smiley.gif

the bermuda triangle mystery

I think it is caused by methane hydrates, but i think the bermuda triangle is much different than any other part of the ocean.

The Bermuda Triangle

There are planes and ships crashing unexplainably all around the world. I assume that people only choose to believe in myths like this and name it a mystery. All areas in an ocean have great potential force. Nothing so mysterious about that.

And by the way Sally, the Bermuda triangle is just the same as each other part of the ocean.

bermuda triangle

I think that people have heard so many myths about the Bermuda that they refuse to look deeper than those myths. they have absorbed in so much idodicy that they beleive it. most likely there is some reasonable scientific answer. it may alos be that the pilots beleive it when thay enter phsycologically altering their actions and do something wrong , expecting the worst.

Bermuda Triangle
I don’t think that the Bermuda triangle is still dangerous to fly by. Many planes and ship vessels do travel in the same route and i would say that there is a particular place in the triangle where the planes and ships have a problem to pass through and its is a myth which requires scientific explanation.

Smarter than you obviously
Its not a mystery and static electricity is way of the problem is methane pockets in the floor of the ocean that are released and find them selves being released into our atmosphere and water resulting in engine explosions, fires and ceases. I am young and not a pilot and have never been to college it scares me you guys are and had no clue!!!

how about the dragons triangle its under japan, and planes and ships are not allowed pass there because ships and planes crash or sinks when they pass that place, and its along the line of bermuda triangle

suggestion-
construct a remote controlled plane big enough with cameras on it that will transmit videos simultaneously as the plane flies……fly the plane across those areas where risk of disappearances are more+the places where pilot lindburg and others have experienced something supernatural……..if something do happens,it will be transmitted by the cameras…….have this kinda experiments already been practised? If yes…then where are results of these kinda experiments available on net??

Hadron Colliders
I know the reason for the bermuda triangle sucking in airplanes. It’s all to do with secret government experimentation with hadron colliders. The government plans to travel back in time and save the dinosaurs. However, the hadron colliders exploded while the governmental plane was flying over the bermuda triangle. So now anyone who goes there travels back in time.

Whatever the reasons…
Whatever the reasons for the missing planes, people, minds its a place that no one can definitely explain so I have it on a bucket list to fly through it and boat through the ‘Japanese Dragon’, if that is its correct name. If I make it I make it, if I don’t it will be the last thing on the B-List!!!! On another note, sites like this that are meant to explain things to people really do kind of have a way of emphasizing the mystery and curiousness of it…curiouser and curiouser

who knows
these replies are rather comical, you have a bunch of conspiracy theorists against one hard nosed pilot and a handful of know it alls…and the guy who’s been gone six years gave me a good laugh this morning. the dragons tail is complete 180 degrees from the triangle if you measure on the globe, do they have something in common, do aliens use these to power up their state of the art cow fart powered(cow farts are methane gas) war machines (or spaceships for those who think they’d come in peace) and go as they please from these areas? who knows, and how many people have died recently from a tail or triangle mystery….let’s face it, this is an old shippers myth from a geologically active area. there’s kids starving in the usa, among other places, maybe we can send them there and test your explanations of reason to reduce the debt to china??

Flying over
I went to Florida in 2004 and been to Mexico 3 times. I’m from the UK and all the time I went to them places either on the way there or way back we would have very bad turbulences. Always have them for a short period while flying over the Bermuda triangle. The pilot even said sorry for the discomfort of the turbulence we are just flying over the Bermuda triangle. This must show something’s out there. Just a bit odd how we always got it flying over that area.

Lim, read it, and think about it.

Lim

I understand and respect what you are saying completely. I’m a bit confused though. Hasn’t there been unexplainable things that have happened? And when anyone would try to explain it, it would not make sense. Hear me out real quick, I understand that within some people in society that things have to be explained. Take the triangle out of this equation for a quick second… Have you ever in your entire life have a “miracle” happen with you or someone that you cherish dearly? Think about it. Have you told a reasoning for how something happened and still questioned it in your mind? I surely hope so. Some things on this planet can not be explained. Say for example that the weather man said ” no chances for showers the next couple of days” and a huge rain storm came over the next day. It’s not the radar didn’t catch it or the technology wasn’t good enough or that the weather person was incorrect. It’s something else that gave us rain clouds. Have you ever heard of someone being in a severely bad wreck or had a severely bad injury? But somehow, someway they survived it? Somehow, someway they got to live to tell it.

Have a good day.
Best regards.

Maybe all those aircraft an water vessels that crashed or dissappeard there because the goverment was or is conducting some type of sycological conspiracy on us citizens. CIA ? They dont want us out there because the Navy might be conduct top secret training drills an weapon excperiment. The Navy an Air Forces version of area 51smilies/shocked.gif

Re: history lesson
I totally agree. Of course, the causes of vanishings can and, likely, will always be disputed. However, it seems as though the government usually dismisses any mystery as exaggeration, falsifying, et cetera, when it is hiding something. (About Area 51: I do not believe it has anything at all to do with aliens.)

All of you are crazy of acting dump

smilies/grin.gif Really aliens? Time travel? you guys watched a lot of movies till you can’t tell true from false. One thing that really makes me wonder that how can no one go there to do documentary film or even explore in secret…One thing that I’m really sure about is a military base underneath Bermuda Triangle, including a laboratories of course some experiments and maybe when those airplanes came through maybe in these laboratories some super magnets stuff that can pull things maybe they are looking for something in the sea…..they are experimenting something for sure!!!!

And that Columbus stuff and his compass…GIVE ME A BREAK!! it’s clearly a lie by GOV to make ppl fear the place I don’t know if that military base still exist? I mean after all this talking in media they would be crazy to keep it..and believe it or not there are so many secret bases on the earth and beneath it but ppl are so dump they read and believe monsters, aliens, big foot ppl!! what’s wrong with you? and the Satan throne well yes I believe in demons are everywhere on earth they don’t have a place….what I’ve read that they have a diff world on earth you can’t see it “Humans can’t” but i’s not the Bermuda Triangle..

smilies/grin.gif I swear ppl are dumb, All you have to do is to think work your brain don’t believe in these films and articles clearly they’ve been paid to write these stuff…to fool you from the truth…Another ugly truth is that some of these laboratories has something to deal with genetic manipulation in both humans and animals…TA TA ugly right? but nobody no something because they are more obsesses with Hollywood and it’s celebrities clever GOV right?

No worries
There is nothing wrong with the triangle. The accidents happened in past are either due to bad wheather or due to some technical problem. But some magazines exaggerated those things and created myth.
