carefully consider any sources you get showing any outstandingly large numbers.....look at a map of the Atlantic and the"Triangle" and consider that

ALL the tankers bringing oil from the Mideast to America
ALL the cruise ships plying the Caribbean
ALL the ships coming thru the Panama Canal and going to East Coast ports or to Europe
ALL the airplanes flying from Europe to the Caribbean or South America
ALL the airplanes flying from the East Coast to the Caribbean

go through there and you'll see it a phenomenal amount of traffic.....just plain statistics say some of those ships or planes are going to fail there; couple that with hurricanes, north east winter storm winds meeting the Gulf Stream and producing REALLY BIG waves, and yes, ships go missing there.......but no more or no often that anywhere else

I've sailed small ( under 50 foot) yachts from the Caribbean to New England couple of dozen times over the years, so I have 10,000 plus miles in the Triangle so I can tell you: monsters? Aliens? Atlantis? vortexes? Black holes?

Sorry.

No more (and no fewer) planes crash/ships sink/weird things happen in the "Bermuda Triangle" than in any other open stretch of water of the same area.

It's all a marketing myth created by those who create "mystery" for the mystery-hungry people who consume it!
