Has Air France Flight Hit the Bermuda Triangle?
Did Air France flight AF-447 that took off from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil for Paris hit the Bermuda Triangle? If not, how do we explain the mysterious disappearance of the flight from the radar?

According to reports, the flight AF-447 took off with 228 passengers from Brazil at 7pm Sunday local time (3.30am Monday IST) and was supposed to arrive Paris at 11.15am on Monday (2.45pm Monday IST). Of the 228 passengers, at least 60 are French and an equal number of passengers were Brazilians.

An Air France release said: “the Airbus flew into stormy weather four hours after take-off from Brazil and soon afterwards sent an automatic message reporting electrical faults.” The condolence messages sent out by the airlines indicates that it is clueless about the fate of the passengers and that it is not hopeful of finding any survivors.

While possibility of a lightning strike or hitting heavy turbulence are being put forth as reasons which could have led the flight to crash into the Atlantic Ocean, these do not explain the disappearance of the aircraft from the radar as well as from sight. That the wreckage has not been recovered 20 hours after the disappearance of the aircraft should add to our anxiety and set us thinking.

When the flight lost contact, the aircraft was flying over North Atlantic Ocean between Brazil and the Coast of Africa. Though the flight route does not pass over the Bermuda Triangle, the Bermuda Triangle is not very from the route.

When the aircraft was negotiating the thunderous zone with strong turbulence, it might have got thrown out of its flight route and got sucked into the Bermuda Triangle. Or, maybe, the Bermuda Triangle itself might be shifting a bit? If we do not find the wreckage in the next few days, the investigators may like to investigate this angle.

The Bermuda Triangle is the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean which falls within the triangle formed by Florida, Puerto Rico and Bermuda. Many aircrafts and ships have disappeared under mysterious circumstances in the Bermuda Triangle.

The Bermuda Triangle is a bad location for sudden air disturbances, including cyclonic weather, which can cause such sudden disability of an aircraft it might as well have just "disappeared".

OMG, The Bermuda Triangle is not even close to where the flight went missing.

Lisa,
That is true. The location where the aircraft lost contact is adjacent to the Bermuda Triangle.

Manoel,
The aircraft went missing in Eastern North Atlantic Ocean and the Bermuda Triangle is in the Western North Atlantic Ocean. It is not as if we are talkiing of Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean.

The accident wasn’t even close to The Bermuda Triangle. Dakar is closer than Bermudas of the accident area.

I feel bad for the people on board, their family and friends. I am sure when they boarded this plane, they had no idea that it would not land safely as expected. There is no telling what happened. If it were in the "trianangle waters", I would think: "the Bermuda Triangle", but it wasn't. I am sure the plane has to turn up....no plane just disappears!

Aeisha,
The aircraft was definitely not in the Bermuda Triangle when it lost contact but it was in the adjacent area. What I said was strong winds could throw the craft off course. If it got anywhere near the triangle, the craft would automatically get sucked into the Bermuda Triangle and the aircraft would disappear. That is a phenomenon that has yet to be deciphered.

This is an act of God, or an act of nature, whatever you may call it. As events all around the world show us, nature must be respected, and she keeps all those she takes. But as well as taking life, nature gives us life. This accident is exactly that. It's part of life.

No, because it is nowhere near the Bermuda Triangle. If you look at the actual Bermuda Triangle, it is far from the coast of Brazil. There are apparently other areas that extend further out from the triangle but how do they come up with that? It's not a triangle anymore then. It's one strange looking polygon is what it is.

Heather,
The aircraft disappeared in the eastern part of the North Atlantic Ocean and the Bermuda Triangle is located at the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean but there is no solid wall dividing the two.

I bet it is because it just vanished, how does an airliner vanish ??

I fear you may be right. A plane which left from Rio some years ago vanished too I believe. This has been of interest for me since I ws a child. Very mysterious. But sympathies to all the families involved and let’s hope they find an answer.
