what is the cause for air crafts and vessels to sink wen near the "bemuda" triangle?
The Bermuda Triangle, or Devil’s Triangle, is the name given to an area of water between Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Within this space, many planes and ships have mysteriously vanished. The mystery began in 1950, which a small article appeared outlining the strange disappearances of ships and planes in the area, and it was given the name the Devil’s Sea. In a feature in 1964, Vincent Gaddis christened the area with its most famous name.

One of the most famous disappearances in the triangle occurred in 1945. Flight 19 was a squadron of five naval bombers, all of which supposedly disappeared while flying over the area. The two planes that set out to rescue Flight 19 also disappeared and were never found. Naval ships such as the USS Cyclops and the Marine Sulpher Queen also disappeared without a trace.

Another disappearance was that of Donald Crowhurst, who was attempting an around the world voyage. A large ship carrying ore also mysteriously vanished in the area after only three days at sea. An official statement by the US Coast Guard states that repeated search attempts were made, but no traces were ever found of the missing planes or ships.
