The Bermuda triangle,
one of the most enduring
mysteries of all time.
Strange lights, phantom fogs,
ships that go missing
with no wreckage.
For over 70 years,
people claimed mysterious forces
caused boats and planes
Our instruments
are going haywire.
But is all that just a myth
that's grown out of hand?
One of them just disappeared
and never came back.
Experts try to get to
the bottom of this enigma...
It's like a water cage of ice.
So this is what it's like to be
right on top of a hurricane.
By using the latest technologies
to discover the truth.
We kind of think of ourselves
as high-tech
forensic detectives.
Can science
finally answer what decades
of legend and myth cannot?
Look at that!
What actually happens
in the Bermuda triangle?

Each one of these x's
represents a lost ship or plane,
and it's forming a shape
with concentrations
here in Miami,
here in Bermuda,
and finally, San Juan,
Puerto Rico.
A triangle, and in this case,
the Bermuda triangle.
The stories
behind these disappearances
have grown to
often-outlandish heights,
as people struggle
for an explanation.
So what's fact
and what is fiction,
and where did it all begin?
The first
Bermuda triangle mystery
was the disappearance
of flight 19.
On December 5, 1945,
flight 19 left fort lauderdale
on a low-level bombing exercise.
The pilots were mostly trainees,
but the commander,
Charles Taylor,
was an experienced combat pilot.
Weather clear
over fort lauderdale,
over the Bahamas, cloudy.
The five bombers flew east
over sandbanks in the Bahamas,
when they hit fog.
and in what direction
they were heading in.
What does your compass read?
We must have got lost
after that last turn.
The crew of flight 19 were lost,
but luckily, a separate mission
flying over the Bahamas
overhead their confusion.
The lead pilot,
lieutenant Robert Cox,
offered his help.
What is your trouble?
I'm trying to find
fort lauderdale.
Cox asked Taylor
for his position.
I will come meet you.
He replied that his squadron
had somehow drifted
over the Florida keys,
hundreds of miles
south of his flight plan.
Put the sun on your port wing
if you are in the keys
and fly up the coast
until you get to Miami.
Taylor took Cox's
advice and headed north,
but found no sign
of the mainland.
The radio cut out.
And now, in fading light,
the squadron began
to be battered by
hurricane-force winds.
Taylor was desperate.
He still couldn't see land.
So he started to think he must
be to the west of Florida,
in the Gulf of Mexico.
The five bombers were now
running dangerously low on fuel.
Taylor made a series of
increasingly irrational
commands.
Turning east...
Change course to zero-90 degrees
for ten minutes!
Then west...
We'll fly 270 degrees west.
Then east again.
But it was all in vain.
At 6:
20 P.M., over four hoursafter taking off,
flight 19's last message
came over the airwaves.
When the first plane
drops below ten gallons,
we all go down together.
The pilots were
never heard from again.
That same night,
was dispatched to search
for the missing squadron,
but it too disappeared.
A nearby warship
reported a distant fireball
on the surface of the sea.
The Navy spent five days
searching for the wreckage,
but astonishingly,
they didn't find a single trace
of either of the missing planes.
What are the hard facts behind
this dramatic disappearance?
cause such confusion?
And why has no wreckage
ever been found?
We're going to go out
to where the last
reported position was
and we're going to start...
start running a survey
around that area.
We've already bounced between...
Former army pilot Jon myhre
has spent the last 30 years
trying to find them.
Looks like we are where
for the position?
Today, with aviation
archaeologist Andy marocco,
he's surveying yet another patch
of the Bermuda triangle
for the aircraft remains.
Flight 19 is probably
in... in the world.
The answer to what happened,
nobody really knows.
Jon believes
that finding the wreckage
is the only way to solve
Started in 1982.
Read a short article
on flight 19.
And I said, based
on some data in it,
where one of the planes crashed.
And I've been on it ever since.
That wreck that we saw?
Right.
I have all that in here.
So this is your
position presently...
Jon and Andy search for answers
in order to separate
fact from fiction.
We also have a search pattern...
we don't get paid to do this.
We're just researchers
and we love it
because of the history
and the subject matter.
So for us, we kind of
think of ourselves as
high-tech
forensic detectives
that are trying
to solve mysteries.
29.59.
Right.
They believe
that when Taylor reported
he was over the Florida keys,
he was actually
over the Bahamas.
Headed out
on a 3-6-0 heading.
And if they're right,
it means that the squadron's
desperate search for land
simply took them further
and further
into the Atlantic ocean.
This is the background noaa map.
During each expedition,
of the ocean floor for wreckage,
ticking it off the list
and then moving on
to the next likely spot.
Basically we're using
side-scan sonar
and echo sounding devices
that will help us build
3D models
of what is on the ocean floor
and be able to give us
a profile of things.
Today,
despite a full day of scanning,
the team draws
yet another blank.
But it's a big ocean,
and they're not ready
to give up.
is going to be found.
It's just a matter of when,
the best shot in history
to find them.
Jon's convinced
he'll find flight 19
because the technology today
is better than it's ever been.
But what if the planes
aren't there to be found?
Is it possible
the entire squadron
were transported somewhere else
by a ripple in space-time?
This wild theory has long been
derided many experts,
but one man believes
he has proof,
because he claims
it happened to him.
