I have heard that the ships and aeroplanes which passed above the Barmuda Triangle drowned without any reason. Is there any scientific reason/supernatural power that makes every ship drown passing accross the Barmuda Triangle.

As already answered, a great many ships and planes pass through and over the Bermuda triangle with no ill effects.

There are some notable cases where there have been vessels go missing - that is the mystery - nobody knows what happened to them.

If you want to research this there is a link below to a site I found and if you do a google search you will find many more.

Hi,
Well, there is no real scientific scientific explanation to this question, even though it is more then certain that some airplanes and ships disappeared when passing the Bermuda Triangle. However there are some theories behind it:
a) some scientist claim that one the ocean bed in the Bermuda triangle there is a large supply of the some gas (hydrogen) or a magnesium substance which reacts to form a gas. This if freed periodically in large quantities. When reaching the surface of the ocean, the bubble released creates a so called negative pressure. This then "sucks" the objects in. However this theory does not work on the airplanes.
b)Some scientist claim an excess magnetic force in the area. There are currently some discussion to why this is created, but it works for airplanes as well as ships. The way this would cause disappearing of ships and planes is that in planes it would affect their "navigation devises" and therefore probably disable pilots to control the airplanes. With ships which are created from hundreds of tonnes of steel, therefore a "magnet and nail" effect would arise. Where the ship would be pulled down under the surface of the ocean.

further theories include:
c) too much foggy
d) and there of course there are always 'aliens' here ;-)

This phenomenon was common a decade or so ago. There is no any scientific explanation, although some scientists link it with electromagnetic storms. The majority of people talk about supernatural things happening there and they often reffer this triangle as the "Devils Triangle" due to the high number of losses there.

Nowadays hundrents of ships and planes follow this route (through the triangle) so there shouldn't be such worry of geting sunk. Feel free to travel there! :)

There are many theories.

But recently the incidents are reducing, as the navigation is done using global positioning devices.

This indicates that amongst other things, navigational difficulties was the major factor contributing to the disappearance of the ships and the air crafts.

There is always the possibility of human factor and the human error.

Methane theory still has good standing, it is very modern theory.

I think this will still be accountable(blamed) for future miss happenings in the region.

Located on the 80th degree longitude, the Bermuda Triangle is one of the two areas on Earth where a compass will point at true north rather than magnetic north. This compass variation can be as much as 20 degrees, enough to throw one catastrophically off course. The other is the Devil's Sea.

The 'Devil's Sea' is classified by many as having the paranormal effects is Bermuda Triangle. It is located in a region of the Pacific around Miyake Island, about 100 km south of Tokyo. Although the name is used by Japanese fishermen, it does not appear on nautical maps. In popular culture, especially in the United States, the Devil's Sea is widely believed to be, together with Bermuda Triangle, an area where ships and planes particularly often disappear mysteriously. The Japanese, on the other hand, do not consider the Devil's Sea to be any more mysterious or dangerous than other coastal waters of Japan.

Contrary to several claims, neither the Devil's Sea nor the Bermuda Triangle is located on the agonic line, where the magnetic north equals the geographic north. The magnetic declination in this area is about 6°. As is the case with all things mysterious, there are many theories regarding the Devil's Sea. One of the most prominent is that there is a large amount of volcanic activity around the area, and an underwater volcano could obliterate a ship without a trace.

Many people have reported seeing portals opening in cloudy skies - strange swirling lights sometimes accompanied by sounds - temporal distortions - electromagnetic distortions called 'electronic fog' that can cause a time storm, and the disappearance of planes and ships. There is something about this fog that is important and gives one the sense of all things paranormal. Something unexplained is definitely happening in that region of the Atlantic. This goes back to ancient explorers such as Christopher Columbus and his crew who experienced the phenomenon.

The Sargasso Sea is located in the east side of the triangle in the middle of the Atlantic. It houses a few small islands and masses of clumped floating seaweed. A warm water current within it swirls clockwise, affecting the weather of the area, keeping it calm and steamy. Having little wind, this area greatly affects unpowered ships.

Christopher Columbus wrote in his diary about this sea. In fact, it so fooled his crew that it almost led them to mutiny. There exists the possibility exists of never leaving this legendary sea, he wrote. Another fascinating feature he noted is its ability to draw things in from all over the Atlantic. Some even claim it to be the "catch-basin" of the Atlantic.

Columbus' crew was greatly disappointed when seaweed and land birds were sighted, but after a few days no land was to be seen. Soon after, Columbus wrote, My compass acts strangely. I will not report this to my crew because of their deep superstitions about the area. Days later, Columbus saw a large meteor fall from the sky. He wrote, A large ball of light has fallen from the sky. It is unsure whether he mentions this occurrence in awe, because of its great size, or in fright. Later on their journey, in that area, Columbus and several of his crew members sighted unexplained dancing lights on the horizon. They wandered around for over a week before finally sighting land.

Aerial photos taken in 2005 show the phenomenon of glowing water. Whatever causes this phosphorescence to vent up from the Bahama Bank bottoms - if that is its cause - remains a mystery.

The Triangle's location in the Caribbean makes it subject to unpredictable weather patterns. This takes us to Earth changes and the excalation of intense hurricanes in 2005 with more to come in the years ahead.

These weather extremes prey on inexperienced navigators and smaller boats and planes. Water spouts, sudden electrical and thunder storms, and the like, can cause havoc in the area. The Gulf Stream can also be brutal in that region and perhaps has swept away evidence of natural disasters.

Ships and planes pass through the area everyday, without crashing or sinking. There were a few odd and notable cases which gave the name to the region.

Ships sink, people drown. BERMUDA Triangle.

they didn't drown, the Martians people got them to study, and they all come back as politicians.
