Has anyone see anything about the Bermuda Triangle in any shadowrun books?

the reason for this is that the triangle could be a deadzone(See the NAGEE's)
or a major bridge from where the horrors could enter from and while the mana
WAS low, the area could have been a place where they could grab food(i.e. humans
and such).

What I mean by the last statement was the horrors couldn't enter our world, but
the triangle allowed them to get things from our world if the thing was in the
triangle.

What you all think?

Nope, there's been nothing there in any of them, probably for the good reason
that it's not there in reality.

Aheh. Don't get me started on Deadzones. :-). I'd think places of actual,
known human sacrifice would be more attractive to the more visceral Horrors.

Hey, if you like it, run with it. But if the Horrors couldn't enter our
world, why would the Triangle let them take stuff from it? And why such a
sucky area for human feasting? I mean, put it over the middle of Europe
or someplace, not in the middle of an ocean.

What in the world is that suppose to mean???? There aren't alligators
in our sewers and yet FASA has made it a totem due to belief?

If people didn't believe in the mystery behind the Bermuda Triangle
than Time/Life would have never made a book dedicated to it. :)

Because they are smarter than that and placing it over such a
location would attract too much attention. This way they can
grab a snack now and then without gaining too much attention.
