What about the Bermuda Road, built during the Roman era, which extends from the islands off into the Atlantic... touted by some as being the road to the lost continent of Atlantis?
The Bermuda Triangle has been a notoriously high loss area for ships and aircraft. The area is very prone for going from calm seas to very powerful fast developing storms within the same hour. The storms usually obsure the horizon for aviators, and are common to having strong electrical thunderstorms which wreak havoc on elctronics and avionics systems, especially when struck by lightning. In calm weather surveys, the magnetic properties of the area appear to be normal and consistent with others.
In the case of the 5 Navy Avenger training planes, Flight 44?, it is theorized they mistakenly headed out over the open Atlantic after thinking they were off the west coast of FL, in the Gulf of Mexico. After an amphibious plane was launched on a search and rescue mission, it mysteriously exploded just offshore of the east coast of FL. It was theorized to have been a smoking crewmember, as the amphibious plane was being used as a refueler, and carried a large fuel bladder in it's fuselage. The Avengers were flying in mostly cloudy weather, flying just above the clouds to avoid the turbulence in and below them. They expected to see the FL mainland and were supposedly flying in a NW heading, which would have put them out of fuel somewhere due east of the FL/GA state line, 200-300 miles offshore if the theory holds true. Finding all 5 Avengers together is unlikely, as each would have fallen into the ocean as soon as their fuel load was consumed, but it was calculated they would be within 50 miles of one another.. somewhere north of the Bermuda Triangle itself.
