A personal explanation for the Bermuda Triangle's reputation

Do you accept the claims surrounding the Bermuda Triangle?

A combination of natural hazards and heavy traffic is proposed, without a verified explanation for particular disappearances.

One proposed explanation combines several natural effects in the Bermuda Triangle and in a comparable Pacific area. Suggested factors include geological activity, possible disturbances to navigation equipment, methane, and water depth. A later reply adds that heavy traffic could help explain why incidents there receive a collective reputation. These are speculative explanations, with no evidence offered tying the proposed mechanisms to particular disappearances.
