The likely reason for the disappearance of five Flight 19 aircraft in the Bermuda Triangle in 1945 may be due to crew misconduct.
This assumption was made by Australian expert Shane Sutterly. In his opinion, in order to understand the cause of the tragedy, you need to have critical thinking. Nine.com.au.
“Some people gave unusual explanations, claiming that something paranormal or supernatural was happening. Taylor (Lieutenant Charles Taylor, who commanded the flight. – Ed.) Also got lost more than once during the flight. He had to escape to the Pacific Ocean twice.” stated Satterley.
He added that after it got dark and the weather changed, Taylor began to navigate not by instruments, but by what was happening outside, as if he was in the familiar Gulf of Mexico, and not in the Bermuda Triangle.
The expert noted that the aircraft of Flight 19 sank after landing on the water surface in less than a minute. In such cases, it is not always possible to find fragments of aircraft. This, in his opinion, explains the disappearance.
“Most of the pilots involved in the incident were trainees. This means that they were not properly trained in how to use all the aircraft’s instruments when flying at night or in bad weather,” the expert explained.
Let us recall that the tragedy took place in December 1945. Then five US Navy torpedo bombers “Flight 19” flew from Florida on a training mission. The crew consisted of 14 people, most of them were trainees. The planes disappeared after entering the Bermuda Triangle. The rescue plane that went in search also disappeared. There were 13 people on board.
Some of them managed to report that their compasses did not work and navigation was almost impossible due to inclement weather.
