Bermuda Triangle

Some people believe that the laws of physics don’t apply in the Bermuda Triangle and it is one of only two places in the world where a compass won’t point to true, magnetic north.

Over the years, hundreds of ships and planes have gone missing in the area of
the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Fort Lauderdale. One of the most famous disappearances occurred in December 1945, when Flight 19, consisting of five US Navy bombers, vanished while on a training exercise.

One explanation for the mysterious disappearance of entire ships could be large pockets of gas which are common on the sea bed in the area. When the gas rises to the surface they dissolve in the water, decreasing the buoyancy of ships and causing them to sink.
