      There is nothing mystical about the Bermuda triangle. It is just an area of the ocean which experiences quite rough weather, and which use to have a lot of ships passing through it. When some of those ships were lost (as happens all over the world) and some planes were lost (probably as a result of flying into thunderstorms) the legend of the Bermuda triangle started.

      Nowadays we have much better methods for tracking ships and planes (GPS) and rescuing people from ship wrecks, and there is no sign of any extra mysterious force acting on ships or planes in the Bermuda triangle.
