The Bermuda triangle is a shape that often appears after a side invasion in handicap games. It is a kind of shape that the player suffering the invasion has to avoid. This triangle spells danger, hence the Bermuda triangle.
Black plays the contact play of 2, mistakenly intending to connect underneath.
White applies basic instinct and hanes at 1. Black suddenly gets caught by fear and draws back at 2. White makes a beautiful full triangle. Black's marked stone is severely weakened. Black's position is cut to pieces. The advantage of having two stones in that zone to begin with, has vanished. For better responses, see Fourth Line Invasion With One Space On Both Sides.
