     ___________________________________ TRIANGLE OF FEAR

  33.  On a calm, clear December afternoon in 1945, Flight 19 took off from the coast of Florida on a routine Army training mission. The five Avenger planes that made up the Flight 19 would never return. Incredibly, a Martin Mariner plane sent to rescue Flight 19 was lost without a trace. As one Navy officer said at the time,  " They vanished as completely as if they'd flown to Mars"

    Well, Mars was a bit beyond the reach of these airplanes. Yet, whenever planes or ships disappear in the infamous Bermuda Triangle, the wildest stories are heard. Many people think that the waters off the coast of Florida are the deadliest in the world.  Legends tell of hundreds of ships and airplanes simply disappearing in the Bermuda Triangle. For this reason, the are is also known as the Hoodoo Sea, or the Limbo of the Lost, or the Triangle of Death.

    Why is the Bermuda Triangle such a graveyard? Some say that it is a hunting ground for UFOs. According to this theory, UFO hover above the Bermuda Triangle waiting to scoop up innocent ships and airplanes.
Other say that the lost continent of Atlantis still exist under the sea and its magnetic force to pull down ships and planes. Still others claim that the area creates a time warp, causing vessels to vanish into the fourth dimension. Whatever the case, the Bermuda Triangle is made to sound like a place to avoid.

In fact, one member of Flight 19 did avoid the Triangle. He claimed he had a premonition about the flight, an unexplainable feeling that something was going to go wrong. So he did not go. The rest of the crew, however, did go. The leader was Lieutenant Charles Taylor, a pilot with over 2,500 hours of flying experience. Flight 19's training mission was to fly 160 miles east, then 40 miles north, then back to the base at fort Lauderdale.

Not longer after the takeoff, trouble developed. Taylor radioed the control tower. "Control tower, this is an emergency. We seem to be off course. We cannot see land. Repeat we cannot see land."

     "What is your position?" the tower asked.
     "We can't be sure of where we are. We seem to be lost"
     " Head due west" said the tower.
     "We don't know which way is west. Everything is wrong.. strange... we can't be sure of any direction. Even the ocean doesn't look as it should."

Later came this message from Flight 19: "We must be about 225 miles northeast of base... it looks lije we are..."
Then silence.
A Martin Mariner flying boat was sent out immediately to rescue the Avengers. But upon entering the Triangle, it too fell silent.  The 14 men of the Flight 19 were gone.  And now 13 more who were involve in the rescue mission were missing too. A massive search of the area by hundreds of boats and planes turned up nothing but water.
