Mapping Missing Airplanes

Vanished Aeroplanes is a CartoDB created map of aircraft which accept gone missing to a greater extent than or less the world. The map says that 'all positions are approximate' as well as then my guess is that the panes accept been mapped to their final known locations.

Looking at the map my immediate idea was that at that topographic point appears to last a cluster of planes which accept gone missing to a greater extent than or less the 'Bermuda Triangle', the Carribean as well as Central America. I can't assistance wondering how much the Gulf Stream as well as hurricane winds may accept contributed to the disappearance of some of the planes inward this area.

All the planes on the map are labelled to present the yr that they went missing. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 timeline, or an selection to filter the planes yesteryear calendar month of disappearance, mightiness accept been useful. For example, inward that Bermuda Triangle cluster I'd similar to last able to filter the map to present how many of the planes disappeared during the hurricane season. However, if you lot mouse-over the markers you lot tin abide by out the calendar month each bird disappeared as well as to a greater extent than data close each private bird as well as its seat out of passengers.

There is every bit good a picayune cluster of missing planes over as well as to a greater extent than or less Vietnam. From the yr labels it appears that all these planes seem to accept disappeared during the Vietnam War.
