Probably the mysterious disappearance of an entire season …

There is hardly a disappearance of an aircraft or a ship in the Bermuda Triangle has such prominence, as the case of Flight 19th Maybe because here several objects have disappeared without a trace. These are five bombers of the U.S. Navy. 5 IBM Grumman Avenger bombers left on 5 December 1945 at 14.00 clock the naval base in Fort Lauder dale, Florida routinely moderate to a training flight. The pilots of the bomber squadron were all together with experienced pilots. The first started off reported ideal flying conditions.

Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle

The last radio contact from Flight 19

At 15.45 clock radioed flight controllers Lieutenant Charles C. Taylor to the Tower in Fort Lauderdale: Call the tower. This is an emergency. We seem to have gone off course. Can not see land, repeat not see land. After the control tower of an inquiry made ​​with regard to their position, said Lieutenant Charles C. Taylor: Position not sure. Do not know exactly where we are. We have flown. Thereupon, the tower gave the instruction to sail towards the west. The response from Lieutenant Charles C. Taylor, was: Can not find where is the west. Nothing does more strange. Not identify the direction, not even the sea looks like forever. Lieutenant Robert Cox, the chief flight instructor at Fort Lauderdale, was just about to land, when he overheard this message. He thought he knew where the flight was 19 and radioed flight 19, what is your height? I fly to the south and meet you. Lieutenant Taylor’s response was this: Do not come on! They look like. . . After that was absolute silence. The timing of the last message from Flight 19 was 16.30 clock.

The search operation

When the last message was received from Flight 19 was a huge Martin Mariner seaplane launched a search operation. Upon reaching the location of the suspected bomber, it still sparked a message and then just disappeared without a trace. In this way, within a few hours 6 military aircraft were lost. Now came one of the largest air and sea search operations in history. But not even a small portion of the wreck was found. There were also no signs of survivors.

Speculation

To increase the mystery of Flight 19 still remains the nagging question of why lieutenant Taylor on the help of Cox waived. What he saw when he cried: you look like. . .. Probably would not Tylor lieutenant, the lieutenant Cox also risked his life. Probably the crew saw a triangle something the Navy for safety reasons do not want to publicly announce. If this event happened in those December days, actually so is Flight 19 most puzzling event in the history of flight. Other voices say again that this representation can be refuted by official reports. Namely, it gives the impression that the sky was cloudless at the time, and it is among the crews of experienced pilots concerned who knew their exact route. Although other reports to follow was the weather at the start time in Fort Lauderdale, well, but increasingly worsened during the flight. A sweeper is later reported to unfavorable flying conditions and heavy seas. With the exception of Lieutenant Taylor, none of the crew members possessed extensive experience and only 300 flying hours behind him had, of which only 60 hours were completed on these aircraft. Lieutenant Taylor, a war veteran with more than 2,500 flight hours had been added just returned from Miami to Fort Lauderdale and the area was not so familiar. Also, this should have been his first flight on this route.
