That and quick sand turned out to be significantly less of a problem than my seven-year-old mind had anticipated.

I saw this Documentary, The Princess Bride, where they went to the Fire Swamps. Was really oversold to me as a kid.
What about the R.O.U.S.?
Rodents Of Unusual Size ? I don't believe they exist.
Ever been to New York?
It was in every movie in the 80s. You were eating a pizza in New York? Quicksand would appear under your feet!
I'd like to add ghosts and witches to the list
Witches went from a fear to a desire.
I was sure that boats sank the vast majority of the time they were used. Also, I have yet to be on fire.
Yeah I was worried about spontaneous combustion in my sleep also. I wonder if those people were just smokers who dozed off with a cig in bed.
Nah, I was worried elevators might go higher as intended, smash through the roof and abduct me.
You should be safe as long as you don't use an elevator with/owned by an eccentric billionaire inventor.
Just lay off the fizzy lifting drinks a bit
funnily enough, there is an area in vienna, austria that is unofficially called "bermuda triangle", owing the name to the large concentration of bars.
sounds like a nice place to get lost for a bit
eh, it was more fun 40 years ago from what i've heard. everything is pretty sanitized these days.
I was a simpler kid. I just thought that the sun was going to just disappear and we wouldn't notice for 8 minutes.
I was literally looking at the sky thinking the sun has already be gone.
Yeah what's up with that btw? Into the bermuda triangle rabbit hole i go...
TLDR: the Bermuda Triangle isn't particularly dangerous in any way, it just has a lot of ships that go through it.
I watched adoku about it that said that in the 80s someone wrote a book about it which proliferated many false claims about the triangle (they were debunked later on) apparently this boosted the notoriety of the myth even more.
