On May 31st Air France flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris crashed in the location known as the Bermuda Triangle. The plane was said to be ripped apart in mid air and the crash land in the Amazon Jungle. No passengers had survived and for some time it was a mystery why the plane had an accident. There were some theories involving the crash. Investigators have focused on the possibility that external speed monitors — called Pitot tubes — iced over and gave false readings to the plane's computers. The other possibility is the belief of some supernatural activity that had been occurring in the Bermuda Triangle zone. Here several plane and ships had mysteriously disappeared without and idea of how or why.

The Bermuda Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and ships are alleged to have disappeared in mysterious circumstances which fall beyond the boundaries of human causes like piracy or mechanical failure. These circumstances are said to be of supernatural or extraterrestrial causes. Even though this may think to be one of the causes of the crash of the plane there is still no physical evidence of these forces. There have been radio signals, which were transmitted just before the plane had crashed. These signals point out a fault of the rudder limiter a mechanism that limits how far the plane's rudder can move. The speculation is that if the rudder moved out too much while the plane was travelling at a high velocity the air resistive force could rip off the rudder sending the plane to plummet to the ground. However a industry official, said the error message pertaining to the limiter didn't indicate it malfunctioned, but rather that it had locked itself in place because of the conflicting speed readings.

The reason for the planes crash is not yet clearly known. There are several possibilities responsible for the plane to have an accident. It is necessary to know the reason for such types of crashes as then aircraft manufacturers can build better and safer plane in the future
