Lloyd's determined that large numbers of ships had not sunk there.

Lloyd's does not charge higher rates for passing through this area.

United States Coast Guard records confirm their conclusion.

In fact, the number of supposed disappearances is relatively insignificant, considering the number of ships and aircraft that pass through on a regular basis.

The Coast Guard is also officially skeptical of the triangle.

noting that they collect and publish through their inquiries much documentation contradicting many of the incidents written about by the Triangle authors.

In one such incident involving the 1972 explosion and sinking of the tanker V.A.

Fogg, the Coast Guard photographed the wreck and recovered several bodies in contrast with one triangle author's claim that all the bodies had vanished, with the exception of the captain who was found sitting in his cabin at his desk, clutching a coffee cup.

In addition, VA fog sank off the coast of Texas, nowhere near the commonly accepted boundaries of the Triangle.

Nova Horizon aired the episode, The Case of the Bermuda Triangle, on 27th of June, 1976.

The episode was highly critical, stating that when we've gone back to the original sources or the people involved, the mystery evaporates.

Science does not have to answer questions about the triangle because those questions are not valid in the first place.

Ships and planes behave in the triangle the same way they behave everywhere else in the world.

Skeptical researchers such as Ernest Taves and Barry Singer have noted how mysteries and the paranormal are very popular and profitable.

This has led to the production of vast amounts of material on topics such as the Bermuda Triangle.

They were able to show that some of the pro-paranormal material is often misleading or inaccurate, but its producers continue to market it.

Accordingly, they have claimed that the market is biased in favor of books, TV specials, and other media that support the triangle mystery, and against well-researched material if it espouses a skeptical viewpoint.

In a 2013 study, the Worldwide Fund for Nature identified the world's ten most dangerous waters for shipping, but the Bermuda Triangle was not among them.

Benjamin Radford, an author and scientific paranormal investigator, noted in an interview on the Bermuda Triangle that it could be very difficult to locate an aircraft lost at sea due to the vast search area.

And although the disappearance might be mysterious, that did not make it paranormal or unexplainable.
