Bermuda Triangle Files: Missing Ships, Missing Planes & Unexplained Disappearances

All right, case file number one, the disappearance that made the Bermuda Triangle famous.

Flight 19, the lost Navy squadron.

This happened on December 5th, 1945.

Five U.S. Navy TBM Avengers, torpedo bombers, and 14 airmen disappeared.

A rescue plane was sent out, also vanished, and had 13 souls on them.

So that night, the military lost 27 men.

All right, so let's talk about this.

Flight 19 left Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale on a routine training mission.

The pilots were supposed to be practicing bombing runs, then return home.

Well, something happened over the Atlantic.

The flight leader became confused about their location.

Radio messages suggested that they were lost and possibly believed their compasses were not working correctly.

They were spinning around and malfunctioning.

And these were the old ones, the old ones that they had back in the day.

Were not digital or anything like that.

They actually worked off magnetic direction and stuff like that.

They were pretty accurate.

So when weather got worse, daylight faded and fuel started running low, five planes disappeared.

A PNB Mariner rescue plane was sent out, and it also vanished.

That makes this case terrifying, not only because the original squadron disappeared, but the rescuers also disappeared.

So that's really strange.

I've watched a lot of stuff on the Bermuda Triangle.

They've been searching for these planes ever since.

There's been a lot of pilots that have basically been diving on wrecks, thinking they found them and found the six Avengers and have not found them.

Very strange that they have not been able to find them, especially with today's technology.
