I wonder if the Bermuda Triangle is directly opposite on the other side of the globe.

Damn you! Now I have to do mapth!
Miami: 25° N, 80° W
San Juan: 18° N, 66° W
Bermuda: 32° N, 64° W
180-80=100: 25° S, 100° E
180-66=114: 18° S, 114° E
180-64=116: 32° S, 116° E
Now the other part. This a point-to-point translation through the center of the planet, not a hole cut through it (The BERMUDA point lands in Perth, right in the middle of a park):

I get the math/numbers of the locations... But I guess I can't get why it wouldn't be flipped and mirrored since it's going through
the center of the Earth (like how an image would also be flipped and mirrored when looked at through a lens). But anyway....
Here's this thing....
Which supports what my thoughts were.
Not that that has anything to do with the plane missing....

umm... where did that craptastic piece of art come from? The Devil's triangle and the Bermuda triangle are one in the same. There's no triangle I've ever heard of near Japan like that and I can't count how many days (and probably YEARS... literally) I've spent operating in that very area. No strange happenings there.
Except I do have a clip of a couple of water spouts and a super cool thunderhead...

Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!

Looks like it was mislabeled. They must've meant the Dragon's Triangle.
eta: & googling that I see 'Devil's Sea'.

Not the same one - the missing one is a 777-200ER :P

By the time you looked at it, my post had been modified somewhat from the original content; the triangle IS mirrored, north to south, with the southernmost point, Perth, reflecting the northernmost point of the Bermuda Triangle (Bermuda, not San Juan). The east-west relationship flips, too, but then you rotate the globe 180 degrees, turning it around again. If you could look at it through the planet it would be flipped east-west.
That image you posted, where the east-west orientation of the southern triangles is the reverse of the northern ones, would represent an enormous triangular rod shoved through the planet. Cutting a triangle-shaped hole through an apple would produce something like that; in that case the northern point would still correlate to the northern point.

You mean the Burmese Thai-angle? Oh yeah! It's hugely famous… ever since I made it up going way back to the 12th of March 2014. Maybe you just haven't met the right locals… they have this superstition about talking about it.
