The theory does not pan out because it is based on a false premise: that the
Bermuda triangle exists. There is nothing supporting the idea that flying or
sailing through there is any more dangerous than anywhere else. Since the
Bermuda triangle is a myth, any explanation of why it exists is going to
have more holes in it than the sea has bubbles. Simply put, the Bermuda
triangle is a high traffic area and thus gets more accidents. Adjusting the
accident rate for the amount of traffic going through there shows the
Bermuda triangle to be no more dangerous than anywhere else.

There are methane fields in other parts of the world, too, and volcanic
vents of all types that release large volumes of all kinds of obnoxious
gases. Whether these events are dangerous to ships or aircraft is one thing.
They might be and it should be investigated. But they are not the cause of
the "Bermuda triangle."

There is nothing mysterious about any of the wrecks found in the area so
far.

The Discovery Channel has a distressing amount of crap on it that is not
science. It seems obsessed with paranormal phenomena, spiritualism, and
UFOs.
