This episode is not for those planning to fly out for spring break, because we're off the coast of Florida, in the Florida Keys, and we're going to talk about the mystery of Flight 19. This mystery claimed the lives of 27 men and made 6 planes go missing. The flight of trainee navy pilots took off from Ft. Lauderdale on Dec 5, 1945 to do a routine navigation and bombing flight exercise.
However, the 5 planes of 13 men that is now known as Flight 19 never made it back to shore, despite the efforts of the entire Fort trying to get them back to land. Through a series of very confusing radio transmissions, the base was able to conclude that they were very lost, but not much more than that. They then sent a larger plane with 14 men on board, which also disappeared with barely a trace.
To this day, none of the bodies and not a single piece of the planes have beached, which is unusual. Theorists believe that the Bermuda Triangle is to blame, either through rogue waves, wormholes, or magnetic tampering.
But first, Robin brings us her Something Southern, a very unique tomb in New Orleans.
