The Bermuda Triangle is a big chunk of ocean that gets some nasty weather, and a LOT of ships and planes travel through it.

If you look at how many sink/crash/disappear, the numbers can be impressive, but if you compare that to then number that make it through unscathed, the percent that vanish is no different than on any other section of the worlds oceans.

There's nothing to explain, because there is nothing unusual going on there.

I heard a theory that there are air bubbles realesed that cause the ships to sink.

Methane Hydrate.

I've seen that as well. They've shown that it COULD cause a ship to sink, but there's never been a known case of it actually happening.

Like Minions "wormhole", it's an attempt to solve a mystery that does not exist.

The wormhole is guarded by someone called 'Sisko'. He's there to prevent the shape-changing aliens on the other side from coming through and taking over the world.

I dont know about any worm hole (expecially one that can be travelled through [more on that later])or bad weather, but i've heard these two theories; Mangnatisim and Boyancy.

Magnatism: A larg vhunk of magnetic rock supossabley lies at the sea floor in the triangle and disturb navigatinal instraments and ships and planes get lost.

Boyancy: A petrafied forest supposable was sunk and now releases methane gas. The gas messes with the laws of boyancy and ships begin to sink, gas bubbles that are undisturbed float into the air and ignite plane engines.

(Back to the worm hole thing: I dont remember who, I think it was Einstine or possable stephen hawkings i dont recall, but a scientist studdied theories of worm holes and came to the conclusion that you could enter one but you would never exit. It would be the equivalent to a black hole yet it would contantly have a horizion and not crushing gravity. And the reason is because the universe is expanding through out as within the edges so 'folding the universe over' would increase the expansion speed so high that you would never get to the end.)

it might also be a magnetic field around that area that cause the ship to sink and the acidity of the water my cause the wrck of the ship to dissapear

I saw a television show that was also trying to say that there was a worm hole or some gravitational phenomenon at the bremuda triangle. I don't beleive though. I also saw the one about methane hydrate releasing from the bottom of the ocean causing issues in the region that is far more likely.
