Notable incidents in the Bermuda Triangle Many people have attributed various disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings, some research shows that few accidents are real but most of them are inaccurate. A ship wishing to dock at the southern US’s largest ports- such as Mobile, Alabama, must cross through the triangle on its way to America from Europe, Africa, or even Asia. Cruise ships routinely cross through the triangle bringing thousands of tourists to the Bahamas and other tropical islands, and giant cargo ships cross through the waters en route to ports in the Gulf of Mexico.
