1: Human error/Pilot disorientation

Look, no one likes to admit they make mistakes...but we all do it, and pilots and sailors are no exception.
The Bermuda Triangle's tropical weather and crystal blue water make it prime aviation stomping ground for everyone from veteran pilots to Navy sailors to amateurs looking to play around.
There's a lot of traffic in the area, and when you add in the turbulent weather patterns, swift currents and a landscape composed of a lot of similar-looking islands, it can be really easy to lose one's way. Once you're a little way off, it's only a few more wrong turns until you're really far askew: far, far away from a place to refuel or wait out tough weather.
In short, you're a disaster just waiting to happen … and, judging from the Triangle's history, you're not alone.
