In truth the Bermuda Triangle is no more dangerous than any other patch of air and ocean on Earth. One of the most travelled shipping lanes in the entire Atlantic Ocean, it has been estimated that roughly 50 ships and 20 aeroplanes have been lost there, in an area that covers 700,000 square kilometres. Many experts have pointed out that the number of ships and planes that go missing there is pretty much the same percentage as anywhere else in the world. It isn’t even, according to a survey by the WWF, on the list of the 10 most dangerous bodies of water in the world for shipping.
