Prompt

The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the North Atlantic Ocean that's been the subject of speculation and theories about a mysterious increase in disappearances and unexplained phenomena: 
The mystery
The Bermuda Triangle is a roughly triangular area of the ocean between Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico. The term was coined in 1964 by Vincent Gaddis in an article in Argosy magazine. The article described a pattern of ships and planes disappearing in the area. 
The theories
Many theories have been proposed to explain the mystery, including: 
Human error 
Bad weather conditions 
Sudden storms 
Navigational challenges 
Mechanical failures 
Equipment malfunctions 
The reality
However, reputable sources dismiss the idea that the Bermuda Triangle is any more mysterious than other parts of the ocean: 
The number of vessels and aircraft that disappear in the area is similar to other parts of the world. 
People navigate the area every day without incident. 
Disappearances do not occur more frequently in the Bermuda Triangle than in other comparable regions of the Atlantic Ocean.
