Piers Morgan tweeted his dismay over the disappearance of
the Malaysian Airlines flight MH 370 and a Malaysian Politician attributed it
to the "Bermuda Triangle"
His tweet was followed by heavy backlash with many calling
him insensitive..He later responded
"I tweeted prayers for the MH370's passengers' safety
before that. I was responding to CNN's Piers Morgan, who had more or less
broadcasted news ahead of Malaysia Airlines and RTM. And we knew nothing of the
plane's whereabouts," he said, as quoted by the Star Online. "If at
all my comments did cause unnecessary disturbance and disheartened feelings, my
greatest apologies – I seek forgiveness."
However it's been four days now and still no news of the
missing aircraft leading to more
speculations a possible hijack or of this Bermuda triangle

"The Bermuda Triangle is a large area of ocean between
Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. Over the last few centuries, it’s thought
that dozens of ships and planes have disappeared under mysterious circumstances
in the area, earning it the nickname “The Devil’s Triangle.” it’s simply an
area in which people have experienced a lot of bad luck
The Bermuda Triangle’s bad reputation started with
Christopher Columbus's October 8, 1492, log in which he noted weird readings in
the area.
A series of disappearances over the so-called “Devil’s
Triangle,” the vast expanse of ocean between Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda
has given the region an unshakeable notoriety. Two British South American
Airways passenger jets disappeared in the region in 1948 and 1949, and more
than 51 people were lost on the two flights and never found. In 1945, five
American bombers ran a training mission over the area and were never recovered;
the aircraft charged with finding the men deployed with a 13-man crew, and also
vanished
The majority of disappearances can be attributed to the
area’s unique features. The Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current flowing from the
Gulf of Mexico around the Florida Straits northeastward toward Europe, is
extremely swift and turbulent. It can quickly erase any evidence of a disaster.
The unpredictable Caribbean-Atlantic storms that give birth to waves of great
size as well as waterspouts often spell disaster for pilots and mariners -
Others suggest sudden rogue tidal waves. Or maybe some
mysterious geomagnetic anomaly that creates navigational problems confusing
pilots and somehow causing them to plunge into the ocean;
However....................
After decades of speculation that aliens, black-hole
vortices and evil Atlantis influences were responsible for the disappearance of
dozens of ships and planes in the 'Devil's Triangle',US Agency, the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
claims that foul weather and poor navigation are likely to blame for any
mishaps in the area between Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico.
'There is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur
with any greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large,
well-traveled area of the ocean,
