MALAYSIA AIRLINES FLIGHT MH370

  MIGHT BE IN BERMUDA

It's barely two days since Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished in mysterious cirumstances, but already the conspiracy theories about its disappearance are rife.

Starting with this recenttragedy, IBTimes UK recalls a selection of similar stories regarding aircraft-related incidents down the years.

Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared at 17:30 GMT Friday (01:30 local time Saturday) On route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. It reported disappeared from radar screens south of Vietnam. Malaysia Airlines had previously said it last had contact with air traffic controllers 120 nautical miles off the east coast of the Malaysian town of Kota Bharu.

Malaysian officials have said that radar signals suggest the plane may have turned back. The air and sea rescue teams that have been searching an area of the South China Sea south of Vietnam for more than 24 hours have now expanded their search to land on the west coast of Malaysia.

Air safety experts are investigating whether the Boeing 777 could have been the target of a terrorist attack. Malaysia's transport minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, said two names on the passenger list were "suspect". The passengers using stolen passports – one Italian and one Austrian – were both booked on the same onward flight from Beijing to Amsterdam on Saturday.

BUT onether question in the heads of hundreads is that "is it new bermuda triangle?" first let's start with

what is bermuda triangle?

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is an undefined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. According to the US Navy, the triangle does not exist, and the name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names.^[1] Popular culture has attributed various disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings. Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished by later authors. In a 2013 study, the World Wide Fund for Nature identified the world’s 10 most dangerous waters for shipping, but the Bermuda Triangle was not among them,

The first written boundaries date from an article by Vincent Gaddis in a 1964 issue of the pulp magazine Argosy where the triangle's three vertices are in Miami, Florida peninsula; in San Juan, Puerto Rico; and in the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda. But subsequent writers did not follow this definition, Some writers give different boundaries and vertices to the triangle, with the total area varying from 1,300,000 km² (500,000 sq mi) to 3,900,000 km² (1,500,000 sq mi). Consequently, the determination of which accidents have occurred inside the triangle depends on which writer reports them. The United States Board on Geographic Names does not recognize this name, and it is not delimited in any map drawn by US government agencies.

The area is one of the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world, with ships crossing through it daily for ports in the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands. Cruise ships are also plentiful, and pleasure craft regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands. It is also a heavily flown route for commercial and private aircraft heading towards Florida, the Caribbean, and South America from points north.
