What is the mystery behind the bermuda triangle?

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermuda_triangle

Kusche's research revealed a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies between Berlitz's accounts and statements from eyewitnesses, participants and others involved in the initial incidents. He noted cases where pertinent information went unreported, such as the disappearance of round-the-world yachtsman Donald Crowhurst which Berlitz had presented as a mystery, despite clear evidence that Crowhurst had fabricated the accounts of his voyage and had probably committed suicide. Another example was the ore-carrier Berlitz recounted as lost without trace three days out of an Atlantic port when it had been lost three days out of a port with the same name in the Pacific Ocean. Kusche also argued that a large percentage of the incidents attributed to the Bermuda Triangle's mysterious influence actually occurred well outside it.

Kusche came to several conclusions:

The number of ships and airplanes reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than any other part of the ocean.
In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur was neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious.
The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat listed as missing would be reported, but not necessarily its eventual, if belated, return to port.
The circumstances of confirmed disappearances were frequently misreported in Berlitz's accounts. The numbers of ships disappearing in supposedly calm weather, for instance, did not tally with weather reports published at the time

Answer 2

Well if somebody knew, it wouldn't be a mistery now, would it?
i'd tell ya but i lost it in the bermuda triangle. ....... everything seems to just disapear there.
The bermuda triangle has long been feared by all including pilots and mariners. Boats, planes and people have all disappeared from the triangle never to be found, several who have had problems and made it out described malfunctioning equipment which scientists believe is due to altered magnetic fields for some reason in the triangle. Included is a link for more information.

There is a magnetic anomaly in the area that affects compass readings. In addition, the Bermuda Triangle is a heavily-traveled sea and air route. As a result, there have been many shipwrecks and aircraft losses over time. So far away from land, each disappearance is a mystery of sorts.
Some people have decided that this is the result of either supernatural causes or aliens.

Answer 5

There is no mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.

The idea was that an unusually large number of planes and ships were disappearing in that area. However, after looking over disappearance all over the oceans, it has been found that they are no more numerous in the triangle than they are anywhere else

Answer 6

Gas vents in the ocean make the water thinner in spots (less dense). When a boat hits a thin spot, it sinks.
