Dr. Ben Clennell, of Leeds University, England, is not the first to make note of the possibility of methane hydrates as a source for causing ships to disappear, he has become identified with the theory which, on September 21, 1998, at the Festival of Earth Sciences at Cardiff, Wales, he proposed methane hydrates as the future of energy.
As a part of his elaborate dissertation he claimed that methane locked below the sea sediments in the Bermuda Triangle can explain the mysterious disappearances. He told how subterranean landslides can unlock the vast beds of methane hydrate. This would be disastrous, he told the audience, because large amounts of methane would reduce the density of the water. “This would make any ship floating above sink like a rock.” He went on to explain how the highly combustible gas could also ignite aircraft engines and blow them to pieces. Although I believe a certain percentage of flammable gas to air is required for the atmosphere to become combustible.

There was a TV program which investigated the Methane theory and it showed it to be highly possible. Scientific tests were done in water tanks and the ships sank almost immediately. Tests were also done on aicraft engines and they did not explode - they did however stop running, and with the reduced lift available in methane as opposed to air they would not stay in the air for very long. Seems to me the most likely, and certainly a very plausible, explanation.

* The number of ships and aircraft reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than in any other part of the ocean.
* In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur were, for the most part, neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious.
* The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat listed as missing would be reported, but its eventual (if belated) return to port, may not be reported.

There are theories, but it has been shown the triangle is no more dangerous than any other part of the world for airplanes.

yes, pure coincidence... If you take the area of the triangle, which is quite vast, and compare it to another area of the same size with the same levels of ship and air traffic, there is statistically no difference in the number of disappearances between the two.

some ppl i know said that the magnetic forces messed with the plane's/ship's comunication and equipment so they might have used all their fuel while trying to find a way back

pockets of carbon dioxide come from the sea bed and nothing floats in it and nothing works they fall and sink to the bottom of the ocean

I have heard that it has to do with magnetics, and high and low pressure systems that occur very fast....
