Geographically speaking, the triangle is an area in the atlantic ocean bounded by Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Miami in Florida.
The beginning of the Myth:At 2.10pm on 5 December 1945 when a flight of five avenger torpedo bombers off from the airstrip of the naval base at Fort Lauderdale in Florida, on a routine bombing-training run. The Story goes that in perfectly clear weather, these experienced aviators became mysteriously disoriented and in a series of increasingly panicky radio transmissions, asked for help. The last radio tranmission from Flight 19 was at 7.04 pm. By 7.20pm a Martin Mariner rescue plane was dispatched - and it too vanished without a trace. (By the way, the missing pilots and their missing planes made a brief appearence in the movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where it was implied they had been abducted by aliens.)
Many ships apparently came to foul ends in the Bermuda triangle, including the 19th-century sailing ship, the Marie Celeste, which was supposedly found drifting and abandoned in perfect condition.
The Bermuda Triangle has moved with the times, and since then many more ships, including the nuclear submarine USS Scorpion has vanished their without a trace.

The Real Story: First, the bermuda triangle is huge - over one million square kilometers, or one fifth area of Australia. You can fit lots of ships in an area that size!
Second, the triangle is just north of the birthplace of most of the hurricanes that lash the east coast f the United States. Many wild storms can suddenly burst into existence and just as suddenly fade away.
Third, the undersea landscape is incredibly varied, ranging from shallow continental shelf to the deepest depths of the ocean (about 30 000 ft deep)
Fourth, it is one of the heaviest-travelled routes for pleasure craft in the world - many nautical mishaps would be expected.
Fifth, A survey by insurance company shows that on a percentage basis there are no more ships lost in the triangle than anywhere else in the world.

The Debunking: As mentioned earlier the Marie Celeste was rumoured to be in perfect condition however it sails were in very poor condition, and it was listing badly.
The USS Scorpion was found sunk, near the Azores - a long way from the triangle.
The naval aviators in Flight 19 were not very experienced, they were all trainees about from the commander who was reportedly suffering from a hangover and tried unsuccesfully to swap shifts with another commander. The weather was not clear 0 a sudden storm had raised 15m waves.
The Martin Mariner rescue plane sent out did not vanish without a trace. These planes were usually full of fuel and had a reputation for leaking patrol fumes inside the cabin. The crew of the SS Gaines Mill actually saw the Mariner breaking up in an explosion about 23 seconds after takeoff and saw debris in the sea.

The myth began when Vincent H Gaddis wrote a creative story about Flight 19 in the Feb 1964 issue of Argosy: Magazine of Masterpiece fiction in a story called 'The Spreading Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle'
There you go. Thread done.
