So Where is the Bermuda triangle?

The Bermuda Triangle is located off the South-Eastern coast of US in the Atlantic Ocean.

The triangular boundary has its points at Miami (Florida); San Juan (Puerto Rico); and Bermuda (the north-Atlantic island)

Each side of the triangle measures a little less than 1000 miles with a total area of about 1.5 million square miles. Most of the accidents occurred along the southern boundary of the triangle around the Bahamas and the Florida straits.
