This has been mentioned a couple of times however something I watched on the television a few weeks ago explained the answer.

Simply the program was discussing magnetics, and in it they showed an old fashioned byplane (propellor mounted on the nose) and explained that a magnetic had to be mounted in the plane near the compass to "Justify" the magnetic poles.

They showed that when the plane was turned off the compass pointed north, however when the plane was turned on and the electrics was live it interferred with the compass causing it to go haywire.

It can be suggested that the Bermuda triangle is a well transversed shipping trade route from the Caribbean. At the time of the Bermuda triangle hysteria it was circa 1930's when the Electronics equipment was first being added to ships and planes. So it could be suggested the loss of ships and planes was down to this and to the speed at which the weather can change in that region of the world.
 
so what your saying is because the the compuss went highwire they lsot direction and could ( theroreticlally) be going around in circles, and also the weather variable? correct?
 
Thats pretty much it Riku. a Mixture of weather and navigation problems could cause ships to find themselves hitting coral reefs which are around those parts.
 
I must agree with Squeak22. The latter site is definitatly the better of the two. If only because of the more conservative layout. The former is too busy and disjointed... no sense of order in its content. The latter is a straightforward examination of some of the more talked about examples of the so-called "Bermuda Triangle's" so-called mysteries.

The former lists many alleged mysteries that may or may not be factual and regurgitates many speculations that some like to erroneously refer to as "theories", yet it completely ignores any real context with regard to rates of loss as compared to volume of traffic in the region. Nor does the former site appear to compare these alleged losses to other similarly sized regions that include similar volumes of traffic in order to demonstrate any true mystery.

The mystery isn't what happened to all the planes and ships. The mystery is why do even smart people see the paranormal where it doesn't appear to be actually quantified.
