There isn't one. It's true that a lot of ships and planes have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle, which extends between Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Miami. However, it's also an extremely busy shipping lane. The number of vanished vessels is not out of proportion to the number of vessels that travel there.

It is a ploy to advertise the area and attract tourists without spending a lot of money on advertising. This got started many years ago when there were only 3 TV channels and advertising was expensive relative to the time. It was quite common in the 50's and 60's to create a news story for advertising purposes. The Loch Ness monster is the same thing. Take a relatively minor local myth, add a "relatively recent" siting into the mix, and presto, you have an advertisement masquerading as a news story.

There really isn't one. Back in the day the happenings that went on during the Bermuda Triangle were a mystery, but given today's scientific knowledge and technology, most of the unexplained phenomena of the Bermuda Triangle can be explained.

there is not any such ingredient as "barmuda Triangle." probably you propose Bermuda Triangle. It does't truly exist both, being specially a fable about a community of the sea the position "unusual issues" ensue. This has no longer stood as a lot as clinical scrutiny. many of the incidents are by using undesirable climate or cutting-edge day piracy, area of the international drug commerce which prospers in that area..

It's large deposits of methane gas under the surface. When these methane bubbles come out they can stop a plane engine very easily. It takes about 1% of methane in the gas air mixture to stop a plane's engine. As for ships, they think a large enough bubble can actually sink a ship if it's on top of the bubble when it comes out of the surface.

Poor maps and bad navigation.
In the early days, say when we were still sailing, the maps weren't too good. Bermuda isn't that big and it's easy to miss. Nowadays its as easy to miss in poor visibility.

My dad was in the Navy, I asked him about the "triangle" he said it was nonsense except for the fact there would be sudden storms.

BERMUDA. I read that in that area there is an unusually powerful whirlpool-like pull. Light vessels can get easily sucked in

There is an evil dark galactic vortex that sucks everything up that crosses its path except for water, birds, and clouds.
