The "Bermuda Triangle" or "Devil's Triangle" is an imaginary area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States of America, which is noted for a supposedly high incidence of unexplained disappearances of ships and aircraft. The apexes of the triangle are generally believed to be Bermuda; Miami, Florida; and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The US Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an official name. The US Navy does not believe the Bermuda Triangle exists. It is reported that Lloyd's of London, the world's leading market for specialist insurance, does not charge higher premiums for vessels transiting this heavily traveled area.

The Bermuda Triangle has grown to epic proportions, with events that occurred hundreds of miles away from it attributed to it. The most highly publicized event was a U.S. Navy pilot Lieutenant Charles C. Taylor on December 5, 1945. This event was likely a result of geographic confusion by the pilot. He mistook some islands to the east of Florida for the Florida Keys (to the south of Florida) and insisted on heading north and east, until he ran out of fuel.
Some events can be attributed to existing electrical troubles, leaks, though others, like the disappearance of Milwaukee's 440th Airlift Wing, Plane 680, in 1965 has no explanation.
My feeling is that the multiple islands in the area lead to confusion, and the known infestation of sharks and barracudas have wiped out any survivors.

i heard that its something to do with the tectonic plates and geothermic activity making all of the planes or ships guidance systems being off set bye some random force but in summer times it can be clearly seen that its just a rocky area so boats that are not very modernised tend to crash but planes go threw it all the time now,its just an old myth cos the planes and technology in the 60's were crap.
