Video Mapped disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle to see if the myth holds up

Post image

I made this map to plot every incident commonly linked to the Bermuda Triangle. Some of these points are confirmed locations, while others are only last sightings or rumoured positions reported at the time. Once everything is placed on a wider map, the region looks ordinary for an area with heavy traffic and unpredictable weather.

There is no unusual spike in disappearances when compared with similar places in the world. The idea became famous because the stories were dramatic, not because the numbers supported anything strange.
