WHAT IS BERMUNDA TRIANGLE?
                                           

                              A number of planes and ships have gone missing in an area of the ocean called the Bermuda Triangle. Learn more about these strange disappearances and some theories as to why they may have happened. What is the Bermuda Triangle?

When people get in an airplane, the last thought on their mind is that the airplane might disappear. Sure - planes can be delayed, or even crash, but a disappearing plane is a pretty far-fetched idea. This is what makes the Bermuda Triangle such a mystery.

The Bermuda Triangle is the part of the Atlantic Ocean that lies between the island of Bermuda, the state of Florida, and Puerto Rico. For many, many years, very strange things have taken place in the Bermuda Triangle that have left people stumped. Boats have gone missing, planes have vanished, and some people even swear that they have seen UFO activity in the Bermuda Triangle.

WHERE IS BERMUNDA TRIANGLE

The Bermuda Triangle, as it’s most commonly defined, stretches between Miami, San Juan, Puerto Rico and the island of Bermuda. In all, it encompasses hundreds of thousands of square miles in the North Atlantic Ocean, a huge area. The region also sees heavy traffic from ships coming and going from the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico.      

The Human Factor

The true explanation for the Bermuda Triangle may ultimately reside not in the ocean, but in our minds. Our minds are often biased toward bizarre or otherwise memorable events, and have trouble accurately accounting for statistical discrepancies. For example, we’re more likely to remember things that seem exceptional — such as a ship that disappears with no explanation — than something more ordinary, like a ship sinking in a hurricane.

And once something stands out to us, it can form the basis for further attention. It’s a form of what’s called a frequency illusion, sometimes referred to as the Baader-Meinhof effect. Essentially, once we’re introduced to something once, we tend to notice it more often all around us. That can lead us to think whatever we’ve noticed is becoming rapidly more common, when, in reality, we’re just noticing it more.

Whatever is ultimately responsible for the legend of the Bermuda Triangle, be it psychological or otherwise, it’s worth remembering that there’s never been any evidence that the region is any more dangerous than anywhere else. So go ahead and take that vacation to Bermuda — but, as always, make sure to wear a lifejacket when you’re out on the water. It’s just common sense.
