South Atlantic Anomaly "Bermuda Triangle" Threatens Satellites

What happens to Hubble in the mysterious region known as the South Atlantic Anomaly?

When satellites pass through this area they are bombarded with swarms of intensely high energy particles.

This can produce "glitches" in astronomical data, malfunctioning of on-board electronics, and has even shut down unprepared spacecraft for weeks!

Maybe there is a connection between the space 'Bermuda Triangle" and the infamous "Bermuda Triangle" where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances?
