In the wake of the mysterious Air France plane crash off the coast on Brazil, India’s most reputed news outlet, boldly goes where reputed news outlets seldom go. Some genius at TOI online asks this profound question – did the Bermuda triangle cause the crash? Thankfully, they did stop short of blaming it on the Others.
For starters, as shown in the rightmost image below, the Bermuda triangle lies off the coast of North America and the plane crashed off the coast of South America, a distance of nearly 2000-4000 miles off any reference point in the Bermuda triangle.

There are honest mistakes and there is gross sensationalism. Does this one falls under the latter? What do our readers think?
