• Question: is the burmuda triangle real. If so does it have special properties that can take down aircraft and sink ships. on a game there were these pylons that emitted a very high electrical pulse that could destroy aircraft engines and scramble radios. They were established in WW2 to take down americans. do you think these could be reality??

      I think there are some physical properties about the area that cause accidents but lots of reports are exaggerated because of the rumor. Its a busy area so that means there are more likely to be accidents, but also compass readings can be confusing there because true and magnetic north line up. This article from the national geographic has some good explanations about it. http://news.nationalgeographic.co.uk/news/2002/12/1205_021205_bermudatriangle.html
