The Bermuda Triangle, also known as "the devil's triangle" is famous because they have heard from many past cases in this place, is a triangular-shaped geographical area, located between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Fort Lauderdale (Florida, USA). So far we have heard from more than 50 ships and 20 aircraft lost in this area without a trace.
