If you were offered a free flight to the Caribbean, on a route that goes straight over the Bermuda Triangle, would you agree?

- probably not.

The Bermuda Triangle has a bad name for a mysterious area where vessels and aircraft passing through it disappear, when only recently another ship was reported missing in the triangle on its 20 crew members without leaving a mark, so who would want to risk flying over it?

Probably consciously.

The Bermuda Triangle is an imaginary triangle in an area of ​​the Atlantic Ocean, the apex of which is the Bermuda Islands in the north, the east coast of Florida in the west, and Puerto Rico in the south.

The area of ​​the triangle is about 1.3 million square kilometers, and over the years dozens and even hundreds of ships and planes have been reported to sink in its territory, including the infamous "Flight 19" - a group of five U.S. Navy bombers that departed for a training flight from a base in Florida on December 5. 1945 and disappeared. 

It turns out that the Bermuda Triangle, or at least something reminiscent of it, is already mentioned in Jewish sources.

Rashi's commentary on the Tractate of Blessings (p. 8, p. A) states that "the ocean has places where it does not receive iron, and [therefore] connects the ship's plates", that is, connects the parts of the ship, "by ropes and bends that will be inserted into its holes That is, according to Rashi, who lived in early 12th century France, there are places in the ocean that were known to sailors in ancient times as areas that swallow metals and are dangerous to sailors, and therefore they would build their ships using wooden boards. And ropes only, without the use of metal nails that could have been swallowed up in those areas and led to the sinking of the ship. 

The Rashash, Rabbi Shimshon Strashon, who lived seven hundred years after Rashi, quoted his words in his commentary on Tractate Brachot and added an explanation: "There are places in it that do not receive iron - and it is because there are magnet stones at the bottom of the sea.

That is, the reason ships lose their metal in those areas is magnetic.

Indeed, one of the familiar claims to the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle is that beneath the triangle there is a huge concentration of metal, perhaps even a giant magnetic meteorite, and they are the ones that make the compasses and electrical components in ships and planes "go crazy" as they pass over the triangle. The same planes into the sea.

But what Rashi and Rashash describe, if they do refer to the Bermuda Triangle, is nothing more than a false myth.

According to researchers who have examined the claims in depth, there are no more accidents in the triangular area compared to other air and sea traffic routes in the world.

The Bermuda Triangle also has no special magnetic activity affecting compasses, nor does it, or anywhere else in the world, have such a strong natural magnetic field that it can extract metal nails from nearby ships. 

In fact, one of the strongest evidence that the Bermuda Triangle is no more dangerous than anywhere else is the fact that insurance companies do not charge exceptional insurance rates for crossing this area.

U.S. Coast Guard records also confirm the determination that the Bermuda Triangle is no less safe than other conventional maritime traffic routes and has no more mysterious "disappearances" than any similar area in the ocean. 

So they offered you a flight over the triangle?

Fly on it.
