How come when I was a kid in the 70's there was all this talk about the weirdness of the Bermuda Triangle and now it never ever gets mentioned anywhere at all? Did people quit flying over it or what?

ok, i have learned that the bermuda triangle is the western subset of the sargasso sea.

but my theory would be that the sargasso and the bermuda ∆ legends are about the fear of sailing off the map into vanished nowhere: in the first you get becalmed/tangled in a zone beyond human ken and never make port, in the second you pass off the relevant radar and don't re-appear
radio and radar ensured the sargasso problem was minimised; all kinds of modern navigation devices, esp. GPS, make bermuda-type vanishing much less likely
luckily there are still FREAK WAVES and GIANT SQUIDS!!!!
xp yes the sargasso seems to vary quite a lot, the biggest versions are much larger than the BT: also plus the BT was def more about magnetic anomalies than scary seaweed, it engulfed aeroplanes!
