Thousands of ships and aircrafts pass through the Bermuda Triangle each year, and nothing happens. What takes place in the Bermuda Triangle are some minor electromagnetic disturbances.
In the late 1940's a group of Navy aircraft got lost there and someone triangulated the area where certain events were taking place at that time and the middle point of the triangle was Bermuda, thus the name Bermuda Triangle. A few years later, it was discovered that certain electromagnetic storms had affected the navigational systems of ships and planes, causing pilots to get lost.
Electromagnetic disturbances are common not only in the Bermuda Triangle, but in many other parts of the world as well. It is more notorious when they happen at see because you have nothing to orientate with unless you are near a lighthouse or islands to use for orientation.
But those disturbances also take place inland, but disoriented pilots at that time only had to reduce speed and decrease altitude to look for an orientation point to stay in course. That not always worked, since some pilots ended up crashing in the deserts of Africa and the US (there is an Army Air Force aircraft at the bottom of the Hoover Damn that crashed there in 1947 due to the same circumstances).
Of course, some people blame UFO's for the electromagnetic disturbances, but even when I do believe that we are not alone in the universe, blaming UFO's is not accurate for the Triangle incidents.

My father used to be a flight mechanic(30 some years ago) and while flying through the Bermuda Triangle, they experienced a few problems with the equipment that appeared to be magnetic in origin, but other than some of the gauges spinning wildly nothing happened.

I sailed through the Bermuda Triangle several times while I was in the Navy. Never got lost.

People go through the Bermuda Triangle all the time without incident.

Millions of boats and planes float and fly over the bermuda triangle every day; when you add in the few 'incidents' its really not as huge as they make it out to be.
Planes and boats didn't have all the great navigational stuff they do nowadays It's just a way to sell books.
