Disappearances
Reports of unexplained events in the area date back to the mid-19th century. Some ships were found completely abandoned for reasons unknown; others did not send a distress signal and were never seen or heard from again. The plane reportedly disappeared afterward and the rescue mission is said to have disappeared while flying in the area. However,
no fragments have been found, and some of the theories proposed to explain the recurring mystery are fanciful. While there are many theories about the supernatural causes of
these disappearances, geophysical and environmental factors are likely to
be to blame. One hypothesis is that when pilots approached the Bermuda Triangle, they failed to account for the agonic line -
a position that would not need to compensate
for magnetic compass changes, leading to major navigational errors and disaster

However,
it is likely that there is no single theory that can solve this mystery. As one
skeptic put it, trying to find a common cause for every disappearance in the
Bermuda Triangle is no more logical than trying to find a common cause for
every car accident in Arizona
Furthermore,
leading shipping insurer Lloyd's of London does not consider the Bermuda Triangle
to be a particularly dangerous place, although storms, reefs and the warm Gulf
Stream can make navigation there difficult. Neither did the U.S. Coast Guard,
which said: "A review of the many aircraft and boat losses that have
occurred in the area over the years has found no indication that the casualties
were due to causes other than physical ones." No unusual factors were ever
identified
