How did the Bermuda triangle come to be a mystery?
The first record that suggested that there was something unusual about disappearances in the area of Bermuda was an Associated Press article by Edward Van Winkle Jones in 1950.
The first use of the term was in a 1964 article with a similar theme that was published in 'Argosy' by Vincent Gaddis called 'The Deadly Bermuda Triangle'.
Then in 1974, two books were published, 'The Bermuda Triangle' by Charles Berlits and 'The Devil's Triangle' by Richard Winer. These books turned out to be very popular and the idea caught on, making this an excellent subject to sell books and magazines. These two books were the source for the popular terms.
Who first discovered the Bermuda triange?
The term was first popularized by of all people, the Fishing columnist ( and once very popular on TV and radio) Vincent (Gadabout) Gaddis. He wrote a book called evasive horizons or a similar- maybe invisible Horizons- about the Bermuda Triangle, numerous lost ships and aircraft in the area and so on. Mr. Gaddis in a sense popularized the Bermuda Triangle. He is better known for his radio and tv fishing programs.

Is it illegal to fly or sail over the bremeauda triangle?
There are all sorts of laws and traffic restrictions which apply to commercial and military air travel. Many are not known to the General public.

How did the Bermuda triangle affect people?
people don't travel across the Bermuda triangle. but i have a suspicion that may the Bermuda triangle has a connection with area 5.
Is Bermuda in North or South America?
Bermuda is not in the Americas at all. Look at a topographical map of the ocean floor. The Americas and the Old World have been (and continue to be) driven apart by a line of volcanism stretching North to South on the floor of the Atlantic. This same process created the Atlantic Ocean, and continues to widen it. The volcanic material that wells up solidifies, creating an ever widening ocean floor...the materiel has welled up at varying rates. When it has welled up too quickly, it has not simply created a flat floor, but has built up mountains. The mid-Atlantic ridge is the sub-oceanic mountain ridge that currently stretches down the length of the fissure. The important detail is that all parts of the Oceanic plate under the Atlantic floor were formed at that fissure, and this includes the seamount that forms Bermuda....a very long time ago, when the Atlantic was far narrower, Bermuda was the mid-Atlantic ridge. There are a number of other oceanic islands in the Atlantic formed by the same process, and these are the only other landmasses that Bermuda can truthfully be described as composing a common geographical unit with.
Cartographers, civil servants and the generally ignorant, however, find it easier to group by proximity, or by the imagined cultural or racial commonality of separate populations.
Consequently, Bermuda, settled politically as an extension of Virginia, and nearest to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, is typically described as being part of North America.
At other times it is described as being part of the Caribbean or the West Indies. The latter term covers a larger area than the Caribbean, allowing the inclusion of the Gulf of Mexico and islands like the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos. Bermuda, a thousand miles from the Caribbean, and nearer to Halifax, Nova Scotia than to Miami, Florida, is obviously not part of either geographic area. As it is an island with a Spanish name, in the vague area of the New World, and is often presumed by non-Bermudians to have an overwhelmingly African racial makeup and culture (as is also assumed for the West Indies), and to have identical climate, society, and culture to the West Indies (none of which is true), it is often erroneously grouped with the West Indies. As some organisations prefer to group the West Indies with Central America, Bermuda can be found listed as part of Central America.
The islands stretching down the East side of the Caribbean were once hilltops on an isthmus that joined North and South America, before vulcanism created the current isthmus of Central America. For a geological time period, the two continents were isolated, with no land bridge. The shallow sea between, the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and the near shore Atlantic, are all over the continental shelf. That is to say that the islands of the Caribbean/West Indies, unlike Bermuda, are part of the same continental landmass as the Americas, and are not oceanic islands formed by the same processes as Bermuda.
How is maths and Bermuda triangle related?
The Bermuda triangle is imaginary lines drawn from Miami, to Puerto Rico, to Bermuda, and passes over part of the Bahamas. All of these inclusive countries teach math in their schools.

No, there is no point of sailing in that area because it makes the objects disappear.
Anyone who sails out of Miami, Bermuda, or Puerto Rico are sailing into the 'Bermuda triangle'. That includes the major cruise lines and airlines and hundreds of thousands of private boats and planes. The Bermuda triangle area is actually a leading vacation area.

there are probably more but these are the ones i found. hope this helped!

How many disappreances have there been in the last 50 years in the Bermuda triangle?
None. It's all a hoax. Of course, others will disagree. :) Lawrence David Kusche, a research librarian from Arizona State University and author of The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved (1975)[15] has written a book that explains the number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the Bermuda Triangle books.
* The number of ships and aircraft reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than in any other part of the ocean.
* In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur were, for the most part, neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious; furthermore, Berlitz and other writers would often fail to mention such storms.
* The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat listed as missing would be reported, but its eventual (if belated) return to port may not have been reported.
* Some disappearances had in fact, never happened. One plane crash was said to have taken place in 1937 off Daytona Beach, Florida, in front of hundreds of witnesses; a check of the local papers revealed nothing.
Kusche concluded that:
The Legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery… perpetuated by writers who either purposely or unknowingly made use of misconceptions, faulty reasoning, and sensationalism.
Why don't people return from Bermuda triangle?
I don't know why you should think that no one returns. Hundreds of thousands of people visit and return from Bermuda, Peurto Rico, the Bahamas, and Miami Florida each and every year. All of these tourist attractions lie within the 'Bermuda Triangle' and all of them rely on these thousands of tourist for their economy. If more than the average number of people did not return, this area would not be as popular as it is and has been for many decades.
