This is what the Bermuda Triangle is about:
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean approximately triangular in shape and is famous for its supposed paranormal activities. The Bermuda Triangle's three corners are roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, giving it an area of 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-travelled region of the world.[1] While 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 the area of the Atlantic between Bermuda, Four Lauderdale Florida, and Puerto Rice. There have been mysterious disapearances of ships and aircraft in that region. The area is famous for its multiple underwater methane fields which release methane bubbles sometimes quite large. It has been proven that a methane bubble could sink a large cargo ship so it would not be suprising if the ship disapearances are because of methane. The flammable methane is also thought to be the culprit of aircraft disapearances. Methane is lighter than air, so if a plane were to fly into a plume of methane, the aircraft instruments would indicate that the plane was rapidly climbing, going by readings of air pressure. However, a plane would rapidly decrease altitude because the methane would not hold the aircraft as normal air would do.

The so-called 'Bermuda Triangle' is an area of ocean that is bounded by Bermuda, Porto Rico and Florida where many unexplained losses of ships and, more recently, aircraft have occurred. There is no particular evidence that the Triangle has experienced any more losses than comparable areas in other parts of the world which have such heavy traffic. There are, in fact twelve such areas in the world, six in each hemisphere approximately two to three thousand miles apart, these being areas of particular magnetic activity. These areas too experience losses in aircraft and shipping but, as they do not have the hype surrounding the Bermuda triangle, are less widely reported.

One of the reasons that the Bermuda Triangle is so widely renowned is due to it's close proximity to the Sargasso Sea. Due to its proximity to Bermuda (and its subsequent location in the Bermuda Triangle), the sea is credited with some of the infamous disappearances there; this stigma is further enforced by the sometimes total lack of wind over the sea, and the possibility for modern engines to become entangled in the sargassum, rendering most vessels stranded. For these reasons it is sometimes referred to as the "graveyard of ships."

In the days of sailing ships some vessels would become entangled in the sargassum, vast areas of weed where eels breed and which is particularly salty. The crews would die of starvation and subsequently when the ships became freed and drifted off towards land, would be found and become 'ghost ships', thus fostering legends about the mysteries of the Triangle.

The image was further enhanced in 1947 when a flight of Grumman interceptor planes flew over the triangle and, due to strong magnetic activity that day, experienced problems with their instruments. Garbled radio messages were received on shore and none of the planes returned. Bear in mind the relative crudity of instrumentation then and the poor radio reception and you can understand why the Triangle became infamous and regarded as a potential area of UFO activity.

There is no evidence that there are any more significant loses of ships and aircraft there than anywhere else in the world of comparative magnetic activity but of course Hollywood and the hysteria of the US people got hold of the stories, amplified and enhanced them and created the myths that reign today. I have flown over the Triangle twice and seen and felt nothing. I looked at the ships below to see if I could see them crossing the Sargasso Sea and again saw nothing untoward.

This triangle is an area of sea around Bermuda where there have been unexplained losses of shipping and aircraft. The whole point is that there are no explanations as the evidence is always lost.

What you're particularly saying is which you purely particularly haven't any concept why the Bermuda Triangle is the way it quite is, you have not placed any scientific explanation so therefor it would desire to be supernatural and a god have have been given to be in contact. So temporarily you're saying i don't understand why or how so it would desire to intend that goddidit! it is unintelligent and ignorant! All religions that comprehend of do evaluate in a god or gods yet they don't all sense in a similar god or gods so how is that this data of despite??? mutually as you ask a question you don't get to tell human beings how they'd or can't answer it!
