In 1945, five "Avenger" torpedo bombers left from Fort Lauderdaleon a training mission, and they flew off into oblivion. We'regoing to fly east. We're flying too far north. We think we're 225 miles east of base.
Their names would go down in history as "Flight 19". Their plan was to fly to the Bahama Islands and return to base in two hours. But they never made it. David White was among those searching for the 14 missing airmen.
We were looking for any aircraft debris or may vest or life rafts, anything floating in and near the wateror that had washed up onshore along the islands. And neededlessly we do not find anything, not a trace of anything. We just couldn't believe that nothing had broken up and washed ashore.
"Flight 19" is never found. A myth is born. What can explain the disappearance of these planes?
Broken radio transmissions and navigational equipment malfunctions are often cited as a factor. Some links such problems to the occurrence of unusual fog and vapors.
It is fog that condenses around the aircraft or the shipand clings to it, and it has an electromagnetic property, that's what afflicts the equipments and compass. But it only happens in the Triangle.
But has any one encountered this supposed electrically charged fog and survived?

This thing was spreading out at an amazing rate, 'cause I was climbing up at 110 miles an hourand this thing has spred out way faster.
Look at those layers! That looks really weird.
Yes, I've never seen that before.
Then I noticed that the instruments were malfunctioning, even the magnetic compass was slowly rotating counter-clockwise all by itself. |
