Bermuda Triangle plane mystery 'solved'


Two of the so-called Bermuda Triangle's most mysterious disappearances in the late 1940s may have been solved.

Scores of ships and planes are said to have vanished without trace over the decades in a vast triangular area of ocean with imaginary points in Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico.

One plane probably suffered from catastrophic technical failure as a result of poor design, while the other is likely to have run out of fuel.
