I heard on the Discovery channel the other day that there are spots in the ocean where bubbles come up from the bottom of the ocean and it decreases the density of the water so boats sink.  The bermuda Triangle is said to have these "spots"  http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/bermudatriangle/bermudatriangle.html   go there

The Bermuda Triangle is an approximate equilateral triangle with its three corners roughly defined by the islands of Bermuda (one corner) and Puerto Rico near its capital city San Juan (another corner), and near Miami, Florida (a third corner), giving it an area of nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²). (Other shapes have been proposed as well as dimensions and borders—see the map at the right and its legend.)\n\nThere are many claims of paranormal activity within the Triangle, especially the inexplicable disappearance of ships and aircraft, or of their crews. Other common claims made of the region are that the laws of physics do not operate here as they do elsewhere, or that extraterrestrial beings are responsible for the disappearances.\n\nChristopher Columbus made mention of sightings of strange-looking animals near the border of the triangle and recorded near the area and now designated as the Bermuda Triangle. At one point he reports that he and his crew observed "strange dancing lights on the horizon". On another instance they observed what was most likely a falling meteor.[2]. At another point he wrote in his log about bizarre compass bearings in the area.\n\nThe first documented mention of disappearances in the area was made in 1951 by E.V.W. Jones as a sidebar on the Associated Press wire service regarding recent ship losses. Jones' article noted the "mysterious disappearances" of ships, aircraft and small boats in the region and gave it the name "The Devil's Triangle". It was next mentioned in 1952 in a Fate Magazine article by George X. Sand, who outlined several "strange marine disappearances". In 1964, Vincent Geddis referred to the area as "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle" in an Argosy feature, after which the name "Bermuda Triangle" became most common.\n\nthere could be many reasons.

Imagine a triangle reaching from Miami to Bermuda to (I forgot where), and that is the Bermuda Triangle, a supposedly mysterious place that just happens to emcompass some of the busiest air and shipping lanes in the world.\n\nCharles Berlitz wrote a book about several 'mysterious' happenings that supposedly happen in the Triangle, but most of them and of the later reports, have perfectly normal explainations (wreckage was found and analysed, etc.). A lot of the things did not even happen in the Triangle!\n\nYou can find a lot of stuff on-line for both sides of the case. Read'em for yourself and see what you think.

Do you mean what is the myth versus truth behind the Bermuda Triangle?  Some scientists believe that the area has many tropical storms, and underwater earthquakes.  The storms build up and dissipate quickly and are often not picked up on radar.  This is a heavily traveled area so accidents are going to happen.  The current is so strong there that sailors have a hard time adjusting their course.  They can be easily confused and end up hundreds of miles off course.  \n\nBermuda Triangle is also known as Devil's Triangle.  Sometimes called this because of all the accidents and disappearances that happen there.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean approximately triangular in shape and is famous for its supposed paranormal activities. The Bermuda Triangle is an approximate equilateral triangle with its three corners roughly defined by the islands of Bermuda (one corner) and Puerto Rico near its capital city San Juan (another corner), and near Miami, Florida (a third corner), giving it an area of nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²). (Other shapes have been proposed as well as dimensions and borders—see the map at the right and its caption.)\n\nThere are many claims of paranormal activity within the Triangle, especially the inexplicable disappearance of ships and aircraft, or of their crews. Other common claims made of the region are that the laws of physics do not operate here as they do elsewhere, or that extraterrestrial beings are responsible for the disappearances.\n\nAlthough there are many opinions on exactly what area is covered, it is usually considered to be a triangular shape with its three points in Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. The triangle marks a corridor of the North Atlantic stretching northward from the West Indies along the North American seaboard as far as the Carolinas. To take advantage of prevailing winds, ships returning to Europe during the Age of Sail would sail north to the Carolinas before turning east to cross the north Atlantic. This pattern continued after the development of steam and internal combustion engines, meaning that much of the north Atlantic shipping traffic crossed (and still crosses) through the Triangle's area-

Bermuda Triangle \n \nMap of the popularly-held dimensions of the Bermuda Triangle; recent claims by researchers allude to a more "trapezium" shape, extending back into the Gulf of Mexico and down into the Caribbean Sea, or in fact no dimensions at all, and a shape incorporating all of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean.The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean approximately triangular in shape and is famous for its supposed paranormal activities.

the Bermudas triangle is not longer a mystery. what happens is that it has huge quantities of methanol gas which is constantly erupting gases from the bottom of the sea . this gas affects both airplanes and and ships.\n\n what happens whit the ships is that as the gas comes out it also produces huge bubles which had been proben to be able to break a large ship . this is why many of the people who used to cross the triangle constantly reported how huge waves just to came from nowhere from one moment to another.\n\non the other side the effect that metanol gass has in the airplanes is that as the gas comes out and croses the airplene this produces an... " optical effect" ... in the altitud of the control panel . this makes the person piloting think that the airplane  is gaing altitud whitout aparent reason. and cosecuently he star to think that his control panel is crazy making him make moves which cause the airplane to fall when he desides to lose some altitud becuz he thinks he has to much .

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle) is a nearly half-million square-mile (1.2 million km2) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the southernmost tip of Florida. The Bermuda Triangle has become popular through representation by the mass media, in which it is a paranormal site in which the known laws of physics are either violated, altered, or both.\n\nWhile there is a common belief that a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in this region, the United States Coast Guard and others disagree with that assessment, citing statistics demonstrating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.\n\n\nSkeptical responses\n\nThe marine insurer Lloyd's of London has determined the "triangle" to be no more dangerous than any other area of ocean, and does not charge unusual rates for passage through the region. Coast Guard records confirm their conclusion.\n\nSkeptics comment that the disappearance of a train between two stops would be more convincing evidence of paranormal activity, and the fact that such things do not occur suggests that paranormal explanations are not needed for the disappearance of ships and airplanes in the far less predictable open ocean.\n[edit]\n\nKusche's research\n\nIntrigued by the number of students coming to him looking for information about the Bermuda Triangle, Lawrence Kusche, a reference librarian with Arizona State University at the time of the Flight 19 incident, began an exhaustive follow-up investigation of the original reports. His findings were eventually published in 1975 as The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved.\n\nKusche's research revealed a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies between Berlitz's accounts and statements from eyewitnesses, participants and others involved in the initial incidents. He noted cases where pertinent information went unreported, such as the disappearance of round-the-world yachtsman Donald Crowhurst which Berlitz had presented as a mystery, despite clear evidence that Crowhurst had fabricated the accounts of his voyage and had probably committed suicide. Another example was the ore-carrier Berlitz recounted as lost without trace three days out of an Atlantic port when it had been lost three days out of a port with the same name in the Pacific Ocean. Kusche also argued that a large percentage of the incidents attributed to the Bermuda Triangle's mysterious influence actually occurred well outside it.\n\nKusche came to several conclusions:\n\n    * The number of ships and airplanes reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than any other part of the ocean.\n    * In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur was neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious.\n    * The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat listed as missing would be reported, but not necessarily its eventual, if belated, return to port.\n    * The circumstances of confirmed disappearances were frequently misreported in Berlitz's accounts. The numbers of ships disappearing in supposedly calm weather, for instance, did not tally with weather reports published at the time.

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle) is a nearly half-million square-mile (1.2 million km2) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.\n\nThe triangle is an arbitrary shape, crudely marking out a corridor of the Atlantic Ocean, stretching northward from the West Indies, along the North American seaboard, as far as the Carolinas. In the Age of Sail, ships returning to Europe from parts south would sail north to the Carolinas, then turn east for Europe, taking advantage of the prevailing wind direction across the North Atlantic. Even with the development of steam and internal-combustion engines, a great deal more shipping traffic was (and still is) found nearer the US coastline than towards the empty centre of the Atlantic. The Triangle also loosely conforms with the course of the Gulf Stream as it leaves the West Indies, and has always been an area of volatile weather. The combination of distinctly heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather meant that a certain, also distinctly large, number of vessels would founder in storms. Given the historical limitations of communications technology, most of those ships that sank without survivors would disappear without a trace. The advent of wireless communications, radar, and satellite navigation meant that the unexplained disappearances largely ceased at some point in the 20th Century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace. It should be noted that both the concept and the name of the Bermuda Triangle date only to the 1960s, and were the products of an American journalist.\n\nOther areas often purported to possess unusual characteristics are the Devil's Sea, located near Japan, and the Marysburgh Vortex or the Great Lakes Triangle, located in eastern Lake Ontario.

The "Bermuda or Devil's Triangle" is an imaginary area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States, which is noted for a high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats, and aircraft. The apexes of the triangle are generally accepted to be Bermuda, Miami, Fla., and San Juan, Puerto Rico.\n\nIn the past, extensive, but futile Coast Guard searches prompted by search and rescue cases such as the disappearance of a flight of five TBM Avengers shortly after take off from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., or the traceless sinking of USS Cyclops and Marine Sulphur Queen have lent credence to the popular belief in the mystery and the supernatural qualities of the "Bermuda Triangle."\n\nCountless theories attempting to explain the many disappearances have been offered throughout the history of the area. The most practical seem to be environmental and those citing human error. The majority of disappearances can be attributed to the area's unique environmental features. First, the "Devil's Triangle" is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north. Normally it points toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 20 degrees as one circumnavigates the earth. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, a navigator could find himself far off course and in deep trouble.\n\nAn area called the "Devil's Sea" by Japanese and Filipino seamen, located off the east coast of Japan, also exhibits the same magnetic characteristics. It is also known for its mysterious disappearances.\n\nAnother environmental factor is the character of the Gulf Stream. It is extremely swift and turbulent and can quickly erase any evidence of a disaster. The unpredictable Caribbean-Atlantic weather pattern also plays its role. Sudden local thunder storms and water spouts often spell disaster for pilots and mariners. Finally, the topography of the ocean floor varies from extensive shoals around the islands to some of the deepest marine trenches in the world. With the interaction of the strong currents over the many reefs the topography is in a state of constant flux and development of new navigational hazards is swift.\n\nNot to be under estimated is the human error factor. A large number of pleasure boats travel the waters between Florida's Gold Coast and the Bahamas. All too often, crossings are attempted with too small a boat, insufficient knowledge of the area's hazards, and a lack of good seamanship.\n\nThe Coast Guard is not impressed with supernatural explanations of disasters at sea. It has been their experience that the combined forces of nature and unpredictability of mankind outdo even the most far fetched science fiction many times each year.\n\nWe know of no maps that delineate the boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle. However, there are general area maps available through the Distribution Control Department, U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office, Washington, D.C. 20390. Of particular interest to students if mysterious happenings may be the "Aeromagnetic Charts of the U.S. Coastal Region," H.O. Series 17507, 15 sheets. Numbers 9 through 15 cover the "Bermuda Triangle."\n\nInterest in the "Bermuda Triangle" can be traced to (1) the cover article in the August 1968 Argosy, "The Spreading Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle", (2) the answer to a letter to the editor of the January 1969 Playboy, and (3) an article in August 4, 1968 I, "Limbo of Lost Ships", by Leslie Lieber. Also, many newspapers carried a December 22, 1967 National Geographic Society news release which was derived largely from Vincent Gaddis' Invisible Horizons: True Mysteries of the Sea (Chilton Books, Philadelphia, 1965. OCLC# 681276) Chapter 13, "The Triangle of Death", in Mr. Gaddis' book, presents the most comprehens

bermuda triangle is a name given to the area off coast of usa which  has a large magnetical disturbance and a tempermental climate. There are countless reports of missing vessels and aircraft that have gone through that region.. one of the most famous being the missing squad of bombers during world war 2 that disapeared off the radar. There are even reports of entire submarines and cargo ships missing... what exactly goes on in that area is unclear BUT it actually is avoided by the air and naval fleets.\nWHY IS IT THE WAY IT IS? Noone knows, noone has succeeded to explain either.

No, the island of Atlantis was supposedly near the Azores island and a tsunami or hurricane wiped it out. The Bermuda triangle is on the other side of the world.
