Because 'happen' is an intransitive verb, the passive voice is not possible.

***** NOT A TEACHER *****
Hello, Checkmate:
If you are walking down the street and come across (encounter) an automobile accident, you could ask someone:
What happened?
What has happened?
What's happened? [The 's = has]
What is happening? [especially if there still seems to be a lot of confusion in the area]
What's happening? [the 's = is]
