    I’ve heard the triangle is a lot like a country-sized whirlpool that churns up rogue waves due to cross-path currents and seasonal shifts in said currents.

      Nah, it’s not any more dangerous than any other part of the ocean.

          Yeah, it’s just a super busy shipping lane. Kinda like how there’s more murders in higher population density areas.

          Except it isn’t. Even insurers don’t charge more for excursions to it.

              But as shipping insurer Lloyds of London notes, the number of incidents is so unexceptional that premiums for voyages within the Triangle are the same as anywhere else in the world. However, such myth-busting facts struggle to rise above the waves of sensationalism.

              You were saying?

                The premiums for voyages within the Triangle are not the same as anywhere else in the world. The premiums differ all across the world. Your move.

                  Do you have a source that contradicts mine? Because one of the largest shipping insurers in the world disagrees with you.
