South Atlantic Anomaly
I was watching "Naked Science" on the NGS channel,and it's about the Earth's magnetic field disappearing,and it started off about the "South Atlantic Anomaly"and how when Hubble does a fly over ,NASA has to shut down the instruments,so they don't break down. The SAA starts right of the coast of Brazil,and st reaches out for about a thousand miles.And I was wondering if this Anomaly had any thing to due with the plane crash that occurred on 6-1-09. Does anyone here have an opinion ?
Signature ? How ?

It's been a while since I covered this in school, but I believe there's a belt of radioactive particles caught within the magnetic fields of the planet, and in that one area in the south atlantic is where it is closest (hence causing electromagnetic interference). I don't know if that exact area is the same as the "bermuda triangle," but I believe the reaction is the same.
Just sayin'.

Planes can't fly nearly high enough to escape Earth's magnetic field.
