There is no mystery. a jerk named Berlitz wrote a book probably 30 years ago about all the "mysterious" wrecks etc. in that area and people latched on to it. You have a vary fast north bound ocean current there and when you get winds coming from the north, the sea can be a mess. He made a fortune off of it. Another person wrote a book "Bermuda triangle mystery: solved" I thing was the name of it that totally debunked Berlitz's book. Berlitz talks about people in a row boat mysteriously disappearing of Miami watching fireworks on a calm night and the debunk book author looked up the weather for that night and there was a 40 mph gale blowing and small craft warnings posted. It's just a bunch of crap that people who probably still believe in the tooth fairy fail to let go of. Oh, by the way, Berlitz claimed that all the lost ships etc. were caused by a civilization that lives under the oceans.

The Bermuda triangle is a figment of the public imagination. It is basically a hoax. Nearly every story about it has only a remote connection to the facts. A comparison of the actual losses of ships, boats and aircraft within the defined triangle with another region having the same amount of traffic shows no differences. In some cases where ships were lost after passing through the triangle, their last known positions were hundreds of miles or more from it. However these have been reported as having been lost within the triangle. In one case, the ship in question was actually lost in the Pacific Ocean.

In the case of the lost Flight 19, the leader was a known poor navigator who had been lost two or was it three times before, having lost planes on each occasion and having been rescued. It was a wonder he was still allowed to fly.

There is no point in trying to find explanations for the "phenomenon" of the Bermuda triangle. The "phenomenon" was cooked up by Charles Berlitz, the author of the first book on the subject by means of exaggerations, misdirection and careful avoidance of inconvenient facts. In reality the "phenomenon" does not exist.

The only mystery is why people continue to believe there is something there.

There is no mystery behind the Bermuda Triangle, it does not contain a higher percent of missing ships than other areas of the ocean, it simply is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world as the Gulf Stream is located within it. Also, many times boats that arrived late were reported as missing and yet will get listed as still missing. Also, the Bermuda Triangle is in the path of the trade winds that take storms NW through it at a high rate so it gets a lot more storms than other areas.
In short, the Triangle is nothing more than a location with a high traffic pattern that has been made famous only in the past 60 years by the authors E.V.W. Jones. and George X. Sand.

I believe Seeker. All this people right here claiming methane bubbles are the in charge forgot that the Bermuda Triangle is amazingly in demand for taking down boats to boot as PLANES. I even have traveled from the Unites States to Puerto Rico many situations (crossing the triangle each and every time) and that i'm nevertheless alive. that is all BS, in my opinion.

there are large solid deposits of methane that are temporarily released as gas. this gas is highly flammable and explosive, and when a large quantity is released can disrupt the water enough to topple a ship. high concentrations can also stall aircraft engines, causing the plane crashes

Much of the Caribbean is incredibly shallow and filled with rocks and reefs. Likely many ships have sunk because of this.
