Well it is called bermuda or devils triangle.
The corners are considered to be the tip of florida,puerto rico and bermuda.
The government states that the rate of accidents at the triangle is no different than any other comparable region traveled in the world.
The legend comes from the fact that it is the best area to send a ship through. Prevailing winds, wind flows, are strong their and propel ships.Most ships today coming acroos the atlantic go through the triangle for that same reason. But the gulf stream the partner to the north atlantic drift is a powerful current. In the Carribbean people love to fish or take boat trips but the gulf stream is unpredictable and little ships or big ships can crack under the tough tides of the gulf stream.
In 1964 it became popularized in an argosy magazine feature. Naming it the bermuda triangle. American media did the rest by adding a movie by Charles Berliz named the "BERMUDA TRIANGLE". Now we all know how dangerous it is.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is approximately triangular in shape, with three corners roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida in the Atlantic Ocean. Its size is nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²).
Paranormal Claims:
* "A significant number of ships and aircraft have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances."
* "Paranormal activity where the known laws of physics are violated."
* It has even been suggested that "extraterrestrial beings are responsible for some of the disappearances."
Despite popular belief, the United States Coast Guard and other agencies cite statistics indicating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily-traveled region of the world.[1] Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon closer examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades,[2] many others still have no explanation.

The Bermuda Triangle is located in the Atlantic the Devils Triangle is located in the south Pacific. These two magnetic anomalies are not ONE. They are situated approximately across from each other on different parts of the earth. Being on a submarine four years and in charge of Navigation equipment that went haywire whenever we passed through the bermuda triangle gave me a respect for this magnetic anomaly. The same thing that happens with a compass at the north pole. The Bermuda Triangle and Devil's Triangle are approximately 90 degrees from the poles. Many unsuspecting naval craft have fallen prey to these magnetic anomalies its not extraterrestial or anything like that its just physics.

The Bermuda Triangle refers to the area of ocean bounded by New York, Bermuda, and Miami. It's the busiest area of ocean for ships and planes. The ones that "disappeared" most likely sank due to collisions or bad weather.

It might be a myth. When I was flying to Australia via Bermuda, Mexico and Tahiti, my father-in-law gave me a book to read on the plane. It was about a plane disappearing without trace over the Bermuda triangle! I knew he wasn't particularly keen on me, but his eldest son and first two granddaughters were in the same plane. How insensitive can you get?

The Truth is that it is a mystery. It is an area with unpredictable weather but no geological reason why. Thousands of ships and planes are documented as disappearing after enterring the Triangle but very little of the wreckage has ever been recoverred. There are reports of time dialation where ships or planes arrive hours or days after they were supposed to with their crews unaware of the time delay
