Case File: Bermuda Triangle
Location: Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Date: December 5, 1945
Description: The Bermuda Triangle is a area of the Mid-Atlantic incorporating the islands of Bermuda, Puerto Rico and the tip of Florida generally and loosely depicted as a triangle. The area and surroundings have long had a reputation as being an area where ships and planes semi-regularly vanish.
History: The Bermuda Triangle is a 400,000 square mile area in the Western Atlantic that extends from the south of Florida, northeast to Bermuda, and southeast to Puerto Rico. According to aficionados of the area, since the late 1800s to the early 1900s, over 200 ships and planes have reportedly disappeared in this region. Among the disappearances are the Mary Celeste, U.S.S. Cyclops, which vanished on March 4, 1918 with 306 people aboard, the Carroll A. Deering, which was found abandoned on January 31, 1921 with no trace of its twelve-person crew; a Douglas DC-3, which vanished on December 28, 1948 with 32 people aboard, the SS Marine Sulphur Queen, which vanished on February 4, 1963 with 39 people aboard; and a C-119 Transport plane, which vanished on June 4, 1965 with 10 people aboard. Due to its reputation, the area has also been dubbed "The Devil's Sea," “The Triangle of Death,” "The “Hoodoo Sea” and the “Graveyard of the Atlantic.”
Though at least 1,000 lives have reportedly been lost, the Triangle’s most famous victims were five Navy TBM Avenger torpedo bombers. On December 5, 1945, they took off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on a routine training flight. There were fourteen men, both Navy and Marines, on board. The mission was known as “Flight 19”. Five hours after they took off, the entire squadron vanished without a trace. Their disappearance became the linchpin of this modern legend of the supernatural.
For decades, the disappearance of Flight 19 has been used by many as proof that the Bermuda Triangle does exist. The five planes were said to have vanished inside some supernatural vortex and then whisked away to another world. But recently, a former helicopter pilot, Vietnam veteran, and aviation investigator named Jon Myhre has come up with a more down-to-Earth explanation. He is certain that he has found one of the missing aircraft just thirty miles off the Florida coast. If he is correct, then one of the most intriguing unsolved mysteries of the twentieth century may finally be explained.
In 1982, Myhre founded a corporation dedicated to finding Flight 19. For years, he has scrutinized its flight plan, radio transmissions, and the weather on the day of the disappearance. He believed that he could use this information to find one of the airplanes. In Summer 1990, using the latest in modern technology, he mounted his fourth underwater expedition looking for one of the lost planes. In order to pinpoint its final resting place, he has carefully reconstructed the last flight of the lost Avengers.
It all began at the Naval Air Station in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on the afternoon of December 5, 1945. Twenty-eight-year-old Lieutenant Charles Carroll Taylor was assigned to command Flight 19. Known as a cool, capable pilot, he had logged over 2,500 hours as a naval aviator. He had previously fought in the Pacific Theater during World War II. However, he was also known to have run into issues while flying before. On two occasions, while flying in the Pacific, he had gotten lost and was forced to ditch in the ocean.
Before takeoff, a senior operations officer briefed the crewmen of Flight 19 on their routine training exercise, called “Navigation Problem #1.” Lt. Taylor arrived late to the briefing. Just before takeoff, he made an unusual request. He asked to be replaced on the flight, saying that he was not feeling up to it. When asked why, he said he just did not feel right and would rather not be in the air that day.
Now, an elite team is investigating the Bermuda Triangle with the aid of a secret weapon—a map, decades in the making, marking the location of unidentified undersea wrecks and anomalies.
The Bermuda Triangle: Into Cursed Waters team attempts to unravel the mystery of why 27 U.S. Navy aviators and crew vanished without a trace in 1945. While searching for the wrecks of lost planes, they uncover a debris field with historic NASA implications.
