Bermuda Triangle

No more messages came from Flight 19 or the rescue plane except for one radio signal that evening. Shortly after 7:00 P.M , the tower at the Miami Naval Air Base heard “FT… FT….” repeated very faintly. “FT” were two of the radio call letters of Flight 19. If that message came from Flight 19, it was sent two hours after the planes would have run out of fuel. Was it possible that Flight 9 could still be in the air? The navy moved quickly into action. More rescue planes, joined by Coast Guard ships, were sent into the area. For the next few hours, and most of the following day, over 240 planes and 18 ships combed the area. Hour after hour, hundreds of eyes searched more then 280,00 square miles of sea and sky. No trace of the lost planes has ever been found. The navy has had official investigations of the mystery. They gathered every possible clue. Every piece of information has been examined. Their answer has never changed—the planes seem to have vanished into thin air. As one navy officer put it, “we are not even able to make a good guess to what happened” The loss of Flight 19 is only one of the famous mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle, the name given to a part of the Atlantic Ocean that runs from Bermuda to Florida to Puerto Rico. The three land areas make up the “Triangle”.
