Does the Bermuda Triangle "Claim Victims"? No—Statistics Show Normal Loss Rates

The Bermuda Triangle does not "claim victims." Comprehensive analyses (US Coast Guard, NOAA, Lloyd's of London) show ship and aircraft loss rates in the Triangle are no higher than in any other similarly trafficked, storm-prone ocean area.

Factors explaining incidents: hurricanes, Gulf Stream currents, human error, mechanical failure, methane hydrates (speculative). The "mystery" arises from selective reporting, sensationalism, and the area's high traffic volume.

No supernatural or anomalous force is needed—ordinary maritime and aviation risks suffice.
