So what about planes?
Well, air travel is getting safer too.
Accidents are extremely rare.
There were 40.6 million recorded flights in 2024 and only seven fatal accidents.
And none of these, by the way, were over the so-called Dragon's Triangle.
Ditching incidents, that's emergency water landings, are also far less common than any other aviation accidents.
Typically, there are only 12 to 15 of these a year, and statistics show that 90% of these are survivable.
Of course, modern ships and planes do still disappear without trace.
Just look at flight MH370, the Boeing 777 that vanished over the Indian Ocean en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in 2014.
Over a decade later, a new seabed search is currently underway, a search led by the company that discovered Sir Ernest Shackleton's lost ship, Endurance, in 2022.
Maybe if the plane is found, it will finally provide answers for the families of the passengers and the crew, as with the discovery of the Derbyshire.
In the end, mysteries like the Dragon's Triangle persist because stories help us process tragedies and turn our fears and hopes into something that can be shared, understood, reshaped and relived.
For instance, in the form of a sea dragon protecting your homeland from fearsome invading armies.
We live in a thrall of the ocean's power and beauty, and it's undoubtedly a dynamic engine for the workings of our planet.
We couldn't live without it.
But do we fully understand it?
Not really, but that's what makes it so intriguing.
A recent review of ocean data suggests that more than 99.99% of the global sea floor has never been seen by humans.
This is visual imaging, i.e.
stuff we've actually seen, not mapping, but it's still vanishingly small.
