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.
