Yup, still there. There was a documentary last year about the Bermuda triangle. In it they showed what's down there...lots of war planes and ships that disappeared during the WW II. Maybe they will show it again. They came up with an explanation on how the disappearances came to be. Apparently the substances (sulfur etc) spewed out underwater from the earth's center, cause the mechanics of the planes and ships to malfunction.

The Bermuda Triangle is simply defined as the area in the triangle between Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is one of the busiest shipping corridors in the world.
Most of the myths about ships disappearing in the Triangle originate because it is the busiest area of shipping with tons of boats. That means that more will sink (as boats do from time to time- the odds might be low, but if you have enough of them, then the incidence of ships being lost will be high).
The Triangle is also on a region where there are unexplained gas eruptions that could possibly kill ships, rogue waves, and other interesting meteorological phenomena because of its location with regards to the Intertropical Convergence Zone. Combine these together, and you can definitely have a lot of ships missing in a small area.

There is in fact a Bermuda triangle. However I do not believe all the story of time stopping, time speeding up, and planes simply disappearing never to return. I can see thinkg go missing from radar but nothing actually being lost for good.

The Bermuda Triangle has a comparable rate of maritime and aerial incidents as any other similar sized region of the ocean. Lloyd's of London, a world-renowned insurer of maritime vessels, does not charge a higher insurance premium for ships that regularly traverse the triangle.

Yes. Because it was an area where there were a number of mishaps and upon tracking these, they all happened within the triangle so marked. It may have been natural disasters or some natural occurrence of strong magnetic field concentration that interfered with navigational equipments that sent vessels in the wrong direction.

Every answerer here will know of what you mean when you say
"Bermuda Triangle".
I think this is proof positive it "exists" or "existed"

Theres no doubt about it. It DOES exist. Whats a mystery is the mystery of all the disappearaces that occur there every year. The existence of the spot itself is not a question.

Yes, geographically. The mysterious disappearances within that area are more able to be explained by some natural things, like rogue waves, since we know more about them now.
