The plane that was carrying at least 11 passengers has gone missing on Monday, after leaving the airport in the Dominican Republic, writes Daily News.

Soon after taking off the plane sent a distress call, but then every trace of it was lost. Jose Thomas Perez, the director of the Dominican Institute for Civilian Aviation reported that the coast guard has gone to search for the missing passengers and plane.

The plane belongs to the company Atlantis Airlines, and the flight was scheduled to last for just over an hour. The region where the plane disappeared is close to the Bermuda Triangle.

The Bermuda Triangle, also called the Devil’s Triangle, is located between the island of Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Fort Launderdale in the USA. Numerous ships and planes have disappeared in that geographical area, and the passengers and pilots that managed to survive claim that they witnessed various paranormal appearances, like strange vortexes in the sky.
