Unless I am living in some parallel universe and don't realize it, I would give myself as an example that those who explore the Bermuda Triangle DO come back. So far the most I have ever lost is my luggage, but maybe the airlines were not really at fault and some strange magnetic hole sucked up my dirty clothes. Most of the people who live there travel across it regularly and they all seem to continue to exist. Flights between Florida and the eastern Caribbean cross it daily and they all survive. Cruise ships and commercial shipping cross it constantly. Even Anna Nicole Smith hasn't disappeared (although maybe thats the secret behind her weight loss and the reason for the death of her son).

I don't think the Bermuda Triangle has had statistically more disappearances than any place else in the world. It just makes a better story. Here's what Bermuda-Triangle.org has to say about it:
I quote:
"The "Bermuda Triangle," or "Devil’s Triangle," is a mythical geographic area located off the southeastern coast of the United States that is noted for an apparent high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats and aircraft. The apexes of the Triangle are generally accepted to be Bermuda, Miami, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

In the past, extensive but futile Coast Guard searches, prompted by search and rescue cases such as the disappearance of an entire squadron of TBM Avengers shortly after take-off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida (1945), or the sinking of the Marine Sulphur Queen in the Florida Straits (1963), have lent credence to popular belief in the mysterious and supernatural qualities of the "Bermuda Triangle."

The Bermuda Triangle is "dangerous" in perception. Many places have lost aircraft or ships. Many places have oddities when the magnetic lines that affect compasses and radio communication don't work well. Ask any ham radio operator about dead zones in long-distance shortwave signals.

There is a little complication. Because of prevailing winds and currents, people have usually been able to find the island of Bermuda. When satellites were new at photographing and mapping stuff, they made an interesting discovery, Bermuda is not where the maps indicate it should be! A few hundred miles of physical location error has been perpetuated for literal centuries. With nothing else nearby, it is easy for a person to miss it.

It's a myth. Especially the part where it's said that NO ONE who goes in, come's out.

im not completely sure but the stories make it seem like it is and some theories have been broached to reinforce these conclusions... they say it has a lot to do with the magnetic field... i heard something about giant whirlpools too.

Old myth. Thousands of people fly into it everyday.
