Tons of people pass through and survive, but their stories are not televised, hence the reason not too many know.
The floor of the Gulf of Mexico is caked with hydrocarbons beneath the silt layer. This is a material that is solid methane mixed with the earth. The stuff stinks and will burn if ignited. Due to volcanic action down below, the heated hydrocarbons begin to bubble. When massive amounts are released, this can cause an entire vessel to sink due to loss in buoyancy. Same for any hapless aircraft flying above.
Discovery Channel ran a special on this a few years back. A couple of professors ran a test on a model scale tank of water with a model ship. With the right amout of bubbles released, the vessel did sink. Also, Discovery Magazine had an article on hydrocarbons, better explaining their existance and impact on our society.

I don't agree that the Bermuda triangle isn't anything special. I've been reading up on disappearances and mysteries a lot, and there are strange happenings in the triangle. Ususally when something goes missing there, wreckage is never found. I heard about Columbus, and i'm not sure that the boat's material made a difference, because people do go in and out of that area unharmed, but there are some strange stories. THere is this one story, that by itself isn't thought of, but with all the other weird stuff, it might be something questionable: "A Boeing 727 once disappeared from radar screens and air traffic control feared the worst. Thankfully, the plane landed safely ten minutes later. THe crew had flown through fog, and all their watches were ten minutes slow." There is also the story of flight 19, too, where five planes disappeared in the Bermuda triangle and where never heard of again. A couple rescue planes went into the area to find them, and one of the rescue planes never came back. It too disappeared.

Yes, many people have passed through the Bermuda Triangle and lived. My father is an example. When he was in the Navy, his submarine had to pass through. There were problems with the compass, but that was only due to magnetic declination.
Compared to all the people that have had to go through the Bermuda Triangle, not many have disappeared. Ships, planes and people disappear at sea all the time, no matter where they are. Some of the most famous disappearances at sea (the crew of the Mary Celeste and the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, to name a couple) happened nowhere near the Bermuda Triangle.
So, not everyone who passes through the Bermuda Triangle disappears, not everyone who steers clear of it survives and there's no curse. Just a lot of embellished stories:)

RE:
Has anyone survived passing the bermuda triangle?
Just wondering....And why does everyone disappear? Is there some curse or something? (although I don't believe in such stuff)

Of course. Do you think everyone who has ever entered the Bermuda Triangle has disappeared? If that were the case, the mystery would have been solved long ago. It's the randomness of the disappearances that has caused the problem.
I've been in the BT many times. And so far, I haven't disappeared once.

We flew over the Bermuda triangle back in 1998 and nothing happened to us.

I did.
Not a myth though. There are vents on the ocean floor which release volcanic gasses/steam. When this happens the ratio of water to air decrease and makes the water volume less dense equalling less boyancy in boats and odd weather patterns. At least this is how science explains it. :-)

I have flown over it about 5 or 6 times with nothing out of the ordinary to report. I think there is something very odd about it all, It's of great curiosity, but nothing has happened to me thus far.
