BT, also called the "Devil's Triangle", is
famous for reports of ships and planes disappearing on the area without
being found. However, there are plausible theories that explain such
disappearances. First is that the area
exhibits violent weather such as short but intense storms, waterspouts
(tornadoes on the sea), and freak waves that shoot up to 100m. Second
are the methane gas hydrates trapped on the sea floor, which when they
explode, causes the water density to drop which can cause passing ships
to sink. The third is its topography, it goes from a gently sloping
continental shelf to an extremely deep drop-off; where ships and/or
planes that go down on the area aren't likely to be found.
