The Bermuda Triangle is the triangle between Miami,Florida, San Juan,Puerto Rico, and Bermuda Island. And no you can't get there it is in the eastern most caribbean sea where atlantic and caribbean meets. But you can request for it to be added to the shipyard and they will try to do that.

If you'll go to the nearest usermade peoplefull server on MP, you'll be in exactly in the bermuda triangle.

Alas, it is unknown, but some say the lost island of Atlantis lies between its waves. As matt said, it is a strech of sea from Blib to Blob, forming a triangle. Many a ship and plane has gone missing there, some say its a huge maelstorm...

There are many theories about it, watch the movies such as The Bermuda Triangle - Solved

*edit

aadjepiraatje, I agree! the lord of Bermuda is punishing those who use evil internet sites! ;D

On  a factual note, the reason behind the Bermuda Triangle disappearances are that the water is very thin there, and many times air pockets float quickly to the top of water, and if a ship was were the air pocket met the top of the water, the ship would drop out of the water and smash against t as it hits it again, usually sinking the ship as the water fills in the hole :)
Title: Re: Burmuda triangle
Post by: mvsmith on December 31, 2008, 01:54:22
How do ships manage to sail there in the first place, if the water is “thin”?
There is a real hazard to drill ships if they hit natural gas. A Japanese research ship disappeared in the Pacific, possibly from being over a mid-ocean ridge when it out-gassed.
Title: Re: Burmuda triangle
Post by: Kona1988 on December 31, 2008, 03:27:27
Well, its thinner then most other water. Thats why people claim ships mysteriously being devoured by the sea.

I personally think Flight 19 is probably the most well documented incident of the Burmuda Triangle, and the strangest.

What I could never understand was, aperently, The impression given is that the flight encountered unusual phenomena and anomalous compass readings. What I find odd with that is, usually, compass's should not be placed next to magnets, since they destroy the compass's. So, is there some sort of weird magnetic field, or some sort of weird natural phenomena that we have not yet discovered?

Either way, I don't think we will ever find out, or, it will take a long time to find out what is happening there.

Spooky eh? :D

Post by: IRI5HJ4CK on December 31, 2008, 11:09:55
I think there has to be some sort of natural explanation, that we just haven't discovered yet. Some people believe that the Devil watches over it and all that, but, thats just something for people to blame in my opinion. There's got to be a natural explanation for it.

Some say the water is really thin

None are prooved

I heard there is a Japanese Bermuda Triangle and that could be the reason for the dissapearing ships and planes. Heres how it happens:
"The Bermuda Triangle is connected to the Japanese Triangle that when ships are in either of them, they're sucked to the other triangle. The Triangles are like a Wormhole."
Title: Re: Burmuda triangle
Post by: Gloat on January 01, 2009, 00:01:00

Title: Re: Burmuda triangle
Post by: The Captain on January 01, 2009, 00:07:14
One of the theories that planes crash in the burmuda triangle is because it's location between the North and south pole makes navigation equiptment go crazy, or not work. With no navigation equiptment of use, it makes it imposssible to know how high or low you are. The stress from the pilot comes from the malfunctioning navigation equiptment, which makes him/her pilot the craft abnormally, and in turn going into shock.
Title: Re: Burmuda triangle
Post by: The Captain on January 01, 2009, 00:23:19

I did go to Miami in 2005 and I saw a Ship in the very far distance jump out of the triangle and dissapear into the triangle. Spooky isn't it? Maybe it would be safe for Ship Simulator to have that enviorment.

Well, the burmuda triangle is just ocean, you know? Not anything special apart from the rest of the ocean except it has the ability to spread rumors and have scary stories about itself ::) ;D. It wouldn't be a good environment, unless you wanted VSTEP to make it so that you just sink or have fog out of nowhere ;D.

you mean without you damaging yourself and the person didn't change the weather preset. How bout this for fun, Sailing as the titanic tons and tons of pirate ships come from all direction not showing up on radar and they come along all your side and want your loot and give you an option window that pops up.if you decline they'll pull away and fire cannons at you till you give your loot away.
Title: Re: Burmuda triangle
Post by: The Captain on January 02, 2009, 22:45:04
Really is a charming idea, but in SS the titanic doesen't have loot... pirate ships these days are actually quite small, and they are too small to have cannons on them. And if you are refering to old pirate ships, we already have a navy frigate ;D.

I am gonna go into the bermuda triangle.

Anyone coming? Im talking this boat

(http://thumbs.shipstore.com/ss/images/sev/sevk85.jpg)

Powererd: ONE OAR - the other fell into the sea

HAS A LEAK IN ONE SIDE - must be constantly be pumped

Is very liable to go into the bermuda triangle, although it sank in a puddle, I think it would be the perfect boat
Title: Re: Burmuda triangle
Post by: The Captain on January 02, 2009, 22:54:57
it sank in a puddle

Now from past experience, I am pretty sure when something sinks in the ocean, it goes down to the bottom of the ocean. Now I don't know about you, but I would be careful about stepping in that puddle, you might drown ;D.
Title: Re: Burmuda triangle
Post by: Gloat on January 02, 2009, 22:58:08
I feel very offended :-[ Just because something sinks in a puddle, doesnt mean that it will sink in an ocean.  ;D

Its a complicated theory about Upthrust, you see.

I took the measurements so I could warn the police about the Puddle of Doom, it measuered 3cm by 4cm.

But I also heard about a very wise man drowining in his own teardrops when his car blew up.
Title: Re: Burmuda triangle
Post by: The Captain on January 02, 2009, 23:44:59
I think that if it will sink in a puddle, then it will sink in an ocean ;D.

If something sinks in a puddle, then its not a puddle ;D.

Post by: The Captain on January 03, 2009, 05:04:50
Did you see the size of the boat? Of course its a huge puddle ;D.

I did give the dimensions... It was right outside my house.

Well, if you still say that a boat sinks in a puddle, then you might as well keep measuring untill you reach 5 yards down of measurement ;D.

Title: Re: Burmuda triangle
Post by: Gloat on January 03, 2009, 18:05:15
It was too deep to salvage by our selves, so we went and got a huge salvaging vessel from Southampton, carried it to the puddle and got it back although two of the ships cranes gave we and sank in the puddle.

If I didn't get it back, how can I use it to go to the bermuda triangle?

Title: Re: Burmuda triangle

Thats true.

And we americans feel the same way about your sence of humor ;D.

Scientists and engineers were planning out a construction project for a subway under the ocean from America to Europe, costing trillions of dollars and and it being at least 50 years to complete. I don't think we need a bridge when we can have a train going about 500 miles an hour :P.

If they made a bridge float, then its weight would have to be low. All of the weight from cars would make it sink. And the point you mentioned about the waves; the bridge would break apart.

Quite a lot of aeroplanes these days use more than just a compass (gps etc) and most ships do as well so i doubt whether any imaginary problem would affect me. The reason why there are so many Problems is because it is very busy and you would expect more ships to disappear. Also due to the currents e.g. Gulf stream providing lots of warmer water there are more storms so the waters are naturally more dangerous from storms etc

No because the wreck wasn't constructed, that was formed by an accident.. the ship was constructed, but when it went under it stopped being a ship and became a wreck... even so, she's never a boat anyway, but a ship.
