The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean which has been made infamous for the many people, aircraft, and surface vessels noted to have disappeared within its bounds. Many of these disappearances involve a level of mystery which are often popularly explained by a variety of theories beyond human error or acts of nature, often involving the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings. An abundance of documentation for most incidents suggests that the Bermuda Triangle is a mere legend built upon half-truths and tall tales from individuals who sailed the area, then later embellished on by professional writers.

Many sea and aircraft have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle. A point I've never seen made, and certainly not brought up in the media, is that it is also a place where there is a lot of sea and air traffic, and being over the ocearn makes for some darned "interesting" weather, too. And, a lot of the air and sea traffic is recreational in nature, run by nonprofessionals, trying to fly or sail to the various resort areas. So, with a lot of traffic in the area, statistics are that there will be more numbers of craft that have accidents (probably not more per capita, however).
As for those that disappear without a trace, it is very odd that it so happens (but, apparently it does). Could there be methane in the water causing ships to sink? If there were I believe the oil companies would check it out. (I have seen demonstrations showing that lots of bubbles in water can sink ships, so the idea is not at all preposterous). But the methane in the bubbles fails to explain airplanes disappearing. I wonder if the Gulf Stream current is to blame for the disappearance of wreckage, carrying it and any survivors far from the scene.
There is, of course, the Alien Flying Saucer base in 10,000 feet of water. That may be the real reason. I'm joking, here.

it is an area of sea from Bermuda at one point to Florida and finally Antigua thus making up the triangle shape. We all know it is an area where ships and planes are supposed to have disappeared flight 19 being a famous example. Some people assign a supernatural explanation for this while others have tried to show how specific natural phenomenon are the cause

watched a documentary where the triangle was investigated. Seems a methane gas travelling upwards from the seabed causes boats to sink as they cant keep bouyant and aircraft to crash as there is no lift from the gas. others have said where the triangle is so i wont
