Saw this question on another sub, and it hit me – i did the same thing too.
Like, why aren’t we solving this??
Anyone had that phase?

There’s nothing to “solve” – a remote travel expanse with highly variable weather patterns due to its geography is going to have a proportionately higher level of ships and planes taken out by freak weather changes.
I was never very concerned about it, but cartoons did have me convinced that someday it might be an issue I would have to face. Same for quicksand, too.
Not about that, but quicksand scared the hell out of me as a child
I flirted with the idea of becoming the most renown researcher of the BT for an afternoon.
I grew up thousands of miles away so I didn’t care. Killer bees and quicksand tho…
Nope, I grew up in Miami and was certain that the entire Blah Blah was bullshit. Shallow waters, coral reefs and sudden violent weather are all endemic to the region. A wee bit of navigational error can get way out of hand for purely natural reasons.
Tail Spin had an episode about that. It got to me.
Me. Now my worries include existential dread
Don’t remember. Was probably just about as worried about it as I was about quicksand and whirlpools
Yuuup. Didn’t live anywhere near it, wasn’t planning on ever going near it, but I was TERRIFIED of it as a kid.
Everyone that grew up watching Unsolved Mysteries.
Kinda crazy how the aliens spent all their time in the Bermuda Triangle and drawing patterns in our corn fields.
I was too worried about quicksand!
Absolutely. My brother was a sailor and crossed through it more than once.
Of course, when I was a child

I went through three faces as a kid!
This was not one of them.
I thought that it was real
Phase*
I was worried that whatever was causing the perceived phenomena would spread or escape
This was mandatory for 80’s and 90’s kids
No. But I went through a phase.
As others have mentioned, fire ants and killer bees were the other things to be afraid of.
Was vampires for me.
Like one of them coming into my room at night and biting my neck. I got my hair cut around that time too and thought that would make it worse.
Phase.
I am still
Not concerned, I do miss believing in it though, life was more fun when there were chances of Bermuda Triangle disappearances and the ark of the covenant, and not just … ya know… the commute to work.
Honestly it was just the odd experience where even adults were confused so I’m like hmm
I have a video of 7 year old me somewhere enthusiastically that I will be the one to go to the Bermuda triangle and prove whether it’s real or not. It had a death grip on my little pea brain.
Concerned no, fascinated yes
Yes, along with the ozone hole issue the 90s were not a happy time for me.
My mom was very intelligent, but she read the National Enquurer for kicks & the crossword, I guess. The Bermuda Triangle was a prime topic for bathroom reading.
Also went thru a spontaneous combustion phase.
Yes. My British relatives would call and the caller id would say Bermuda. I would be so scared that I would run away.
I phased my fear.
i was concerned like “we gotta do something about this”
I always thought giant man eating flytraps were a real thing
Idk where we learned it from, but yes me and my fellow nine year olds were concerned.
I definitely worried too much about the Bermuda triangle, quick sand and piranha.
Not concerned, but very interested, and still am.
My big concern was killer bees.
I remember seeing a show in ’96 that GUARANTEED they’d be in Canada by 2000.
Haven’t seen one, but I’m still petrified of them all.
Quicksand was more my vibe.
No. It always seemed silly to me. It was a large chunk of ocean
Nah, it was bottomless pits.
