That’s a bit of an understatement. There were books and movies and documentaries on this.
One documentary suggested there could be some kind of gas (like CO2) leaking from the ocean floor, which floated to the surface and affected the buoyancy of ships, causing them to sink. It also rose into the air and made airplanes not fly. So maybe it was also helium or something.
I’m surprised the billionaire pancake Ocean Gate guy didn’t take his fiberglass submersible down in that area to find all these sunken ships and airplanes.

Nah, it was never a particularly dangerous place. There were just a couple of accidents there that became famous.
