The Taiwan Triangle - Move Over Bermuda?

If you're interested in weird and unusual stuff then you'll know about the Bermuda Triangle. But how about the Taiwan Triangle?

The NZ Herald reports that the recent unexplained crash of a fighter jet over the Taiwan Strait has people wondering if the area might be as fearsome as its better known Bermuda counterpart. The area around the Penghu Islands - a popular tourist resort - has seen more than its fair share of aircraft disasters. Over the last 20 years a minimum of five fighter jets, three commercial planes and one helicopter have come down in the region. Over the last 40 years the death toll for the region numbers some 300.

The local authorities are keen to avoid any fear of flying damaging the local tourism industry and argue that the area simply has a very high volume of air traffic, so "the chances of crashes are proportionally higher".
