Personally I think ships are/were lost in the Bermuda Triangle for various different reasons. There may have been some due to rogue waves, cargo fires etc. The Triangle has a lot of ship traffic which will increase casualty occurrences.

There are some scientific theories for some of the more bizarre or puzzling losses including releases of large volumes of gases from beneath the ocean.

Local magnetic anomalies may be more intense and variable then normally expected. I saw a magnetic compass shift while passing near a surmount in the Pacific once. The navigation chart had a note to be aware of possible shifts in the magnetic field.
