Do planes still fly over Bermuda...

[Hermie]

Hi,

I'm just really curious. Do any airliners still fly over the Bermuda Triangle?

If YES, WHY ?
Cause, I though planes, ships etc will vanish so do Airline Co. take the risk ?

If NO, WHY ?

Thanks fellas....

Cheers,

How about avoiding the Triangle ?

So you're saying, they fly over Bermuda Triangle.

So that'll mean the Bermuda Triangle is all a BIG HOAX!!

no, it's not a hoax - plot between 35n down to 70w then across to 60w then back upto 35n and there it is - the triangle.
christopher columbus drew this up as a kind of boundary of protection in 1482 and became very protective of his beloved island, where he died in 1557. in between, any ships straying into his herritory, his triangle, were sunk - they disappeared. hence the bermuda triangle has continued...............

On the 747-400 we use our Flight Manegement System to assess the risks of entering the triangle. On the legs page we enter 'Bermuda Triangle' as a 'go direct' command. If we get a message 'Invalid Entry' then we route around the triangle, but if we get a message 'Not in Database', then the triangle is inactive, and we continue on route.
Hope this helps.

Captain Airclues,

That would mean that planes that fly over the BT does not have the problems such as, "we do not know our position", the compass screw up, etc..

It means that this kind of things don't happen anymore ?

THANKS ALOT fellas
