On the 5th of Decembe, 1945 Flight 19 departed form the U.S. Naval Air Station in Fort Lauderdale Florida. It was late afternoon and the the weather was mild with slight rainshowers and 20 knot winds. The squadron was on a routine training exercise in which they were to fly west from Fort Lauderdale, run a few bomb training exercises, then fly north for a little bit and then return to the base. Only a few hours after the flgiht had taken of radio technicians recieved a message between the leader of Flight 19 and another pilot in the group stating he was unsure of his position relative to Florida and it was relayed among the pilots that they were all experienceing strange compass failure. Due to the less than great atmospheric conditions of the day the squadron was unable to establish communication with the base back in Florida. From here the story is left up to speculation but this video gives one of the theories which has become widely accepted as the fate of Flight 19.

We choose the Bermuda Triangle because we thought it was rather interesting. We thought there was a lot of information out there to search, and not many people know what really happened. People know the main parts about the Bermuda Triangle, for example that planes and ships randomly disappear. We were able to find information going more into details about what actually happened and some of the actually disappearances.
