"Well, tonight we'll be having fluffed air on a bed of notions, a hot bowl of this wonderful whipped water soup, the main course will be a substantial vestment of french roasted aromas, and perhaps if anyone dares... I've prepared these absolutely delightful guilty thoughts that I thought we'd sit all night and munch on!"
Large amounts of plant material which eventually fall and die can, in large amounts, periodically produce the kind of methane bubbles they're describing. The eastern end of the Bermuda Triangle is also a part of the 'Sargasso Sea', known for it's large amounts of sea weed. It's been quite thoroughly proven that yes, under the right conditions (big enough bubble, or an overweight ship perhaps) a methane bubble in the water can indeed sink a vessel. A plane? The demonstrations I've seen don't indicate much to bet on. Sudden exhalations of gas can also be caused by volcanic activity, which has been noted in the Dragon's Triangle just south of Japan.
The Bermuda Triangle is also known for both piracy, geomagnetic anomalies, and the usual oceanic sudden storms. Sudden disappearances in that area aren't such stretch to the imagination. My guess is the Dragon Triangle is also such a place of mystery and scary stories. However, these dangers are real in quite a few places; not just those two, and for much the same reasons.
And how much actual knowledge is in those books? Or for that matter, and as pointed out: 'uniqueness'?
In the non-fiction section we have a plethora of repeated facts fluffed up with rhetoric made to sell those books as well as pure hogwash which belongs in the fiction section. In the fiction section... it's fiction. I can forgive the fiction section :now, I /don't/ forgive crummy writers, which is a tougher problem to nail down than the problems with the non-fiction section.
