For sure Dave...

I seem to recall some years ago a statement, which I think originated
with the USCG, that there were actually less aircraft and marine
casualties in the Bermuda triange than other areas, it was just the
traffic density that accounted for the numbers.

Sounds right...it's certainly one bitchin wild spot for weather
in the fall and winter too. Friggin Gale Alley there and even
worse off the East Coast of Newfie baby-sitting a fence of
sonobuoys for hour after hour at endurance power and occasionally
replacing a dud...Jesus I'm glad I'm retired.
