While investigating the disappearance of 5 planes, scientists uncover an exciting mystery about the Bermuda Triangle
Researchers made an exciting discovery about the Bermuda Triangle, while trying to solve the mystery of the disappearance of 5 planes off the coast of Florida, USA, through a new documentary entitled “History’s Greatest Mysteries” that sheds light on the efforts made by a team of experts to track down the missing planes in this incident.
The Daily Express newspaper reported on Friday, September 17, 2021, through a lengthy report on the incident, that Flight 19, which disappeared off the coast of Florida a few months after the end of World War II, and included five American bombers, is one of the most mysterious mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle.
In December 1945, the squadron of aircraft departed from Fort Lauderdale, and conducted bombing operations in an area called Haines and Chickens Shoals. As the aircraft headed north to return to the base, the flight commander, Lieutenant Charles Taylor, encountered problems with the navigation system, and the aircraft flew off course.
The British newspaper quoted experts who participated in the research as believing that the plane entered the Bermuda Triangle, that is, the ocean area extending from Florida to Bermuda and Puerto Rico. All 14 men on board the planes were lost, and 13 other men sent to search for them on two rescue flights were never seen again.
Shipwreck!
In the documentary, marine biologist and marine explorer Mike Barnett enlisted the help of a Florida fisherman while exploring the wreckage of a plane possibly belonging to the missing squadron. When divers discovered the site they realized it was not an airplane but the wreckage of a giant ship, 200 feet long.
According to Barnett, the ship was carrying a strange cargo, which was a white, clay-like substance. Barnett matched the discovery to a famous cargo ship that was lost in the Bermuda Triangle 71 years ago, according to what the British newspaper “Daily Express” reported.
Laboratory analyzes found that the white substance was the pesticide DDT, which matches the substance that was on board the ship “Sandra,” which sank with 12 people on board in the Bermuda Triangle. Barnett described the discovery, saying: “While we were trying to find information about the missing plane squadron, we came across another mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, which we hope to solve one day.”
