Taiwan TransAsia Plane Crash
The dramatic crash of Taiwan’s TransAsia plane in Taipei on 4 February, 2015 had again raised speculations about a conspiracy theory that started last year on 2014 that the Bermuda triangle has shifted eastwards to Asia!
What is Bermuda Triangle-Mysterious patch
The Bermuda Triangle is a mysterious patch of water in the North Atlantic Ocean into which ships and planes have allegedly vanished without any trace.
Malaysia Airlines Plane MH370 Lost
These rumours started in 2014, when the Malaysia Airlines plane MH370, travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, disappeared over the South China Sea. The flight was carrying around 239 passengers. Despite multiple international search missions being on the job, no evidence of any flight debris has been found till date, giving rise to several speculations behind its disappearance.

Scientific Theory against Bermuda Triangle
Scientists argue that the Bermuda Triangle doesn’t even officially exist, so its geographical boundaries are vague and vary in different accounts. Finally, region includes some of the deepest marine trenches on earth, making navigation difficult.

After the MH370 vanished, it was suggested that the plane disappeared over a patch that was on the exact opposite part of the globe from the Bermuda Triangle.
However, closer investigation revealed that the search area was in fact on the opposite part of the globe from the Caribbean Sea. Interestingly, another area in the Pacific Ocean called the Devil’s Sea or the Dragon’s Triangle has been described as the Pacific Bermuda Triangle. Located Japan’s east coast, it is considered to be a ‘danger zone’ in the country. Another ‘Bermuda Triangle of Asia’ is rumoured to be situated near the Penghu Islands in Taiwan.
So is there really a Bermuda Triangle in south-east Asia? The mystery remains.
