Bermuda Triangle

But then, about one and one half hours into the trip, something happened. To this day, we cannot explain what it was. At around 3:40 P.M, the radio at the air station in Fort Lauderdale received this strange message from Flight 19:

Lieutenant Taylor: Calling tower. This is an emergency. We seem to be off course. We cannot see land. Repeat. We cannot see land.
Tower: What is your position?
Lieutenant Taylor: We are not sure of our position. We cannot be sure just where we are… We seem to be lost.
Tower: Assume bearing due west.
Lieutenant Taylor: We don’t know which way is west. Everything is wrong.. strange.. We can’t be sure of any direction even the ocean does not look as it should.

Flight 19 was lost. Their compasses had gone crazy. Even the ocean did not look familiar. All direction had been lost. The naval base picked up conversations between pilots, but the tower could no longer reach the planes by radio. Soon, there was no sign of the planes on the radar screen. What had happened to flight 19?

At 4:00 PM, the tower crew heard Taylor turn over the command of Flight 19 to another pilot, Captain Stiver. Why? The five planes stayed together. Captain Stiver reported they all summed to be lost. For hours the planes flew aimlessly in all directions. Then, the very last words of Flight 19 came through. “It looks like we are..” The message was never completed. Some of the tower crew reported hearing one further message, “Entering white water.. We are completely lost.” On the Ground, emergency steps were immediately taken. A number of rescue planes where sent up after Flight 19. One was a giant Martin Mariner a seaplane with a crew of 13. Soon a report of high winds came from the seaplane.

Then no more reports came in. All radio contact was lost. The rescue plane had vanished too.
