THIS WAS THE MOST
FAMOUS DISAPPEARANCE

IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE'S
HISTORY -- FLIGHT 19.

COMMANDER TAYLOR STATED
THAT BOTH OF HIS COMPASSES

WERE SPINNING.

ONE OF THE POPULAR THEORIES
IS ALIEN ABDUCTION.

IT WAS JUST ANOTHER VICTIM
OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING
WE CALL OXYGEN DEPRIVATION,

OR A HYPOXIA.

IT'S AN IMPAIRMENT
OF JUDGMENT.

THE ONLY WAY YOU LEARN
ABOUT HYPOXIA IS TO GET HYPOXIC.

I CAN DO THIS
WITH A -- A...

WHAT THE ****
IS THIS THING?

SPEAK IN SENTENCES, CHUCK.

I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND
THAT THE AIRCRAFT ON THE BOTTOM

RIGHT THERE IS FLIGHT 19.

LOOK AT THIS.
WE GOT SOMETHING.

MAKE SURE YOU GOT
THAT R.O.V. READY.

SEND DOWN THE DRONE.

DUDE, THAT'S A WING
RIGHT THERE, BRO.

COME ON.

THAT'S AN AIRPLANE
FROM THE RIGHT ERA OF FLIGHT 19.

MORE PLANES, SHIPS,
AND PEOPLE DISAPPEAR

IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
THAN ANYWHERE ELSE ON EARTH.

SOME BLAME NATURE'S WRATH.

BUT OTHERS SUSPECT
A MORE SINISTER FORCE.

CHUCK,
YOU READY TO GET WET?

NOW FOUR VETERAN
BERMUDA TRIANGLE INVESTIGATORS

WILL BRAVE THESE TREACHEROUS
WATERS IN SEARCH OF THE TRUTH.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE OVER THE MARK.
LET HER GO!

THERE'S SOMETHING WEIRD
DOWN THERE, BROTHER.

WHAT ISTHAT?

15 FEET.
WE'RE GETTING CLOSE.

FOUR FEARLESS MAN HELL-BENT
ON FINALLY UNLOCKING THE SECRETS

HIDDEN BENEATH THE MOST
PERILOUS WATERS ON EARTH.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
WE GOT SOMETHING.

80 FEET OF WATER.
PREP YOUR DIVE GEAR.

FRIDAY, 1:00 P.M.

YOU ALMOST READY TO GO IN?

YEAH.
REMEMBER TO CHARGE IT.

THE TRIANGLE RESEARCH
AND INVESTIGATION GROUP

IS PREPARING FOR A DANGEROUS
DIVE DEEP IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.

THE MEN ARE LONGTIME FRIENDS
WHO HAVE WORKED THE WATERS

OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
TOGETHER FOR YEARS,

AND THEY ARE INVESTIGATING
A THEORY

THAT A SQUADRON
OF TORPEDO BOMBERS

CALLED TBM AVENGERS

THAT VANISHED IN
THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

MAY HAVE CRASHED 6 MILES
OFF THE COAST OF BIMINI

IN THE BAHAMAS.

ONE, TWO, THREE.ONE, TWO, THREE.

THE FATE OF THE FIVE PLANES
KNOWN COLLECTIVELY AS FLIGHT 19

HAS BAFFLED EXPERTS
FOR MORE THAN 70 YEARS.

NOW THE MEN OF THE TRIG TEAM
ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES

TO GO DEEP INTO
THESE MYSTERIOUS WATERS.

WE GOT A HIT ON THE SONAR
AT ABOUT 80 FOOT OF WATER.

WE DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT IT IS

BECAUSE THE SONAR
ISN'T LIKE A PICTURE.

IT SHOWS THAT
THERE'S SOMETHING DOWN THERE.

STAY SAFE.

WE WERE ALL PUMPED.
GOT OUR GEAR ON, JUMPED IN.

THESE PLANES HAVE BEEN MISSING
SINCE 1945.

IF WE FIND THEM,
THAT WOULD JUST BE AWESOME.

YOU'RE SAYING
IT'S A VESSEL?

OBVIOUSLY
THIS WASN'T FLIGHT 19.

IT WAS JUST ANOTHER VICTIM

OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE,
IF YOU WILL.

IT'S A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING,
BUT WE'RE GONNA KEEP ON CHUGGING

UNTIL WE FIND SOMETHING.

'CAUSE THIS IS THE KIND
OF CASE, ONCE YOU START,

AND YOU STICK YOUR TEETH
INTO IT,

YOU'RE JUST NOT GONNA
GIVE IT UP.

SATURDAY.

CAPTAIN MOE MOTTICE
AND THE TEAM HAVE DECIDED

TO CONTINUE
THEIR FLIGHT 19 INVESTIGATION

AT THEIR HOME BASE
IN FLORIDA --

THE WESTERN TIP
OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

THE JOURNEY WILL TAKE THEM
THROUGH TREACHEROUS WATERS

THAT THE MEN KNOW WELL.

ALL RIGHT, PULL IT IN
AND BRING THE LADDER UP.

I'VE SPENT
THE LAST 35 YEARS IN,

AROUND, OR ON TOP
OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE,

SO I'VE GOTTEN MY ASS KICKED.

I'VE GOTTEN MY ASS
KICKED MANY TIMES.

THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
WAS FIRST IDENTIFIED IN 1964,

AND MOST EXPERTS AGREE
THAT IT STRETCHES

BETWEEN FLORIDA, BERMUDA,
AND PUERTO RICO.

BUT THE EXACT BOUNDARIES
ARE A TOPIC OF HEAVY DEBATE.

THE WEIRD THING ABOUT
THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

IS, SOME PEOPLE SAY
ITS WESTERN TIP IS IN MIAMI.

ANOTHER GROUP WILL TELL YOU

IT GOES ALL THE WAY
DOWN TO THE KEYS.

AND THERE'S STILL OTHER PEOPLE
THAT SAY IT EXTENDS

ALL THE WAY
INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO.

BUT EVERYONE AGREES
THAT A LOT OF PLANES,

SHIPS,
AND PEOPLE ARE DISAPPEARING,

AND IT ALL HAPPENS
IN THIS ONE SPECIFIC AREA.

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS,

CAPTAIN MOE
HAS BEEN ON A MISSION

TO SOLVE THE MYSTERIES
OF THE TRIANGLE

AND PREVENT FUTURE
TRAGEDIES AT SEA.

HE'S JOINED IN THIS QUEST
BY THREE KEY WEST SAILORS --

RESCUE DIVER AND FORMER
ARMY CAV SCOUT DAVE CZIKO...

ALL RIGHT! IT'S WORKING!

...FORMER COP AND NAVY
RESCUE SWIMMER CHUCK MEIER...

WE'VE GOT BREEZE
COMING UP THROUGH OUR AFT.

...AND FIRST MATE SHIP ENGINEER
MIKE STILL.

THE OIL'S GOOD,
AND TRANSMISSION GOOD.

AND ALL THE HOSES ARE GOOD TO
GO. THE BELT'S GOOD,

SO WE'RE GOOD.

THESE MEN ARE PUTTING
THEIR CAREERS ON HOLD

AND THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE
IN PURSUIT OF ANSWERS

AS THE TRIANGLE RESEARCH
AND INVESTIGATION GROUP,

OR THE TRIG TEAM.

DAVE'S ACROSS.

OUR GROUP CAME ABOUT
BECAUSE WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT

WHY PEOPLE ARE DISAPPEARING.

YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE
THAT LIVE IN THE TRIANGLE

OR BY THE TRIANGLE,
THEY'VE LOST LOVED ONES.

THEY'VE LOST FRIENDS, YOU KNOW.
I THINK THEY'RE TIRED OF IT.

LOOKS GOOD, GUYS.

THEY WANT US TO SOLVE THIS

BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO
HAVE TO BE SCARED ANYMORE.

GATHER 'ROUND HERE.
LET'S DISCUSS THIS.

THE VANISHING OF FLIGHT 19

IS ONE OF THE MOST
NOTORIOUS DISAPPEARANCES

TO EVER OCCUR
WITHIN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE,

AND THE TRIG TEAM
IS DETERMINED TO TACKLE

THESE DANGEROUS WATERS
AND CRACK THE CASE.

DECEMBER 5, 1945.

FIVE GRUMMAN TBM AVENGERS

UNDER THE COMMAND
OF CHARLES TAYLOR

TOOK OFF ON A ROUTINE
TRAINING RUN AND DISAPPEARED

SOMEWHERE
IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE,

AND THEY FOUND
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

THE FLIGHT 19 STORY IS
AN INTEGRAL PART

OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE LEGEND

BECAUSE IT WASN'T JUST ONE
PLANE -- IT WAS FIVEPLANES.

THEY WERE MILITARY,
AND THEY'VE NEVER BEEN FOUND,

AND I THINK THAT WAS, LIKE, THE
TRUE BEGINNING OF THE LEGEND

OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

IT WAS FLIGHT 19,
WHICH JUST MEANS

IT'S THE 19th FLIGHT OF THE DAY

THAT DID THIS SAME
EXACT MISSION.

IT WAS A ROUTINE-TRAINING
BOMBING RUN.

THEIR IDEA WAS TO TAKE OFF
OUT OF FORT LAUDERDALE,

FLY TO THE EAST OVER AN AREA
CALLED HENS AND CHICKENS,

CONTINUE ITS FLIGHT PATH,

AND THEN
TURN NORTHWEST 120 MILES,

AND THEN TAKE ANOTHER LEFT
AND RETURN TO BASE.

THAT LAST TURN
NEVER HAPPENED.

AT 4:00 P.M.,
SOMETHING WENT WRONG.

COMMANDER TAYLOR RADIOED IN
AND STATED

THAT BOTH OF HIS COMPASSES
IN THE AIRCRAFT

WERE MALFUNCTIONING.

THEY WERE SPINNING,
IS WHAT HE SAID.

BACK ON LAND, FLIGHT
CONTROLLERS TRIED DESPERATELY

TO DETERMINE WHAT WENT WRONG
WITH COMMANDER TAYLOR'S SQUADRON

AND WHERE THEY WERE.

RADIO CONTACT
WAS FAINT AND PATCHY,

BUT ONE PILOT COULD BE HEARD
DECLARING

THAT THE MEN HAD GOTTEN LOST
AFTER THEIR LAST TURN.

AND TAYLOR STATED
THAT HIS BROKEN COMPASSES

HAD LED THE AVENGERS
HUNDREDS OF MILES OFF COURSE,

PLACING THEM OVER
THE FLORIDA KEYS.

TAYLOR TURNED
HIS SQUADRON NORTHEAST

IN HOPES OF REACHING
FORT LAUDERDALE,

BUT THEY NEVER ARRIVED.

INSTEAD, THEY SPENT MORE THAN
TWO HOURS SEARCHING FOR LAND,

BECOMING HOPELESSLY LOST IN
INCREASINGLY TURBULENT WEATHER,

AND THE MISSING SQUADRON,
ITS 5 PLANES AND 14 MEN,

WERE NEVER SEEN AGAIN.

TO THIS DAY,
THERE IS NO EXPLANATION

FOR TAYLOR'S
COMPASS MALFUNCTION.

HAVING BOTH OF YOUR COMPASSES
FAIL AT THE SAME TIME --

THAT'S UNHEARD OF.

BACK IN 1945, I WONDER
HOW GOOD THOSE COMPASSES WERE.

WHEN I WAS IN THE ARMY,
I USED MY GRANDFATHER'S COMPASS

FROM 1945.

HE TOOK IT ON IWO JIMA
WHEN THEY DID THE ATTACK.

MAN, I'VE NEVER HAD
THAT THING MALFUNCTION.

AGAIN, IT'S
THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

THIS IS WHERE
STRANGE STUFF HAPPENS.

SO, DAVE HAS MORE CATS
THAN ANY OTHER DUDE

I'VE EVER MET IN MY LIFE.

I ONLY HAVE EIGHT CATS.
THAT'S NOT A LOT OF CATS.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF
FLIGHT 19 HAS BAFFLED EXPERTS

FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS.

AND IT IS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST
TO CHUCK AND DAVE,

WHO ARE BOTH MILITARY VETERANS.

THE TWO MEN HAVE KNOWN EACH
OTHER FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS.

CHUCK'S MY BEST FRIEND.

I MEAN, I TRUST CHUCK
WITH MY LIFE.

HE WAS A NAVY RESCUE DIVER.

HE WAS A SHERIFF.
HE WAS ON THE SWAT TEAM.

CHUCK LOST HIS LEG
OVER IN THE DESERT.

BASICALLY GOT BLOWN UP
IN A TRUCK THREE TIMES.

AND YOU WOULDN'T KNOW
HIS LEG WAS BLOWN OFF

IF YOU COULDN'T SEE IT.

BEFORE TRYING TO
DETERMINE WHERE FLIGHT 19 WENT DOWN,

THE TRIG TEAM WILL ATTEMPT
TO FIND OUT WHY IT DISAPPEARED.

SO CHUCK AND DAVE HAVE ARRANGED
TO MEET WITH AUTHOR

AND BERMUDA TRIANGLE EXPERT
SCOTT ALAN ROBERTS

FOR A BRIEFING
ON THE THEORIES

THAT MAY EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE MISSING SQUADRON.

SO, WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT
ONE OF THE BIG BOYS

OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE --
FLIGHT 19.

WELL, THAT'S REALLY
THE GRANDDADDY OF THEM ALL.

WHY DID THESE GUYS GET LOST?
WHAT THREW THEM OFF?

WHY DID THEY BASICALLY
ZIGZAG ALL ACROSS

THE BAHAMAS IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA
AND JUST END UP NOWHERE?

YOU KNOW WHAT INTRIGUES ME
THE MOST

IS THAT TWO COMPASSES
MALFUNCTIONED AT THE SAME TIME.

WELL, I THINK THAT
THAT'S BECOME

ONE OF
THE DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS

OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

COMPASS MALFUNCTIONS
HAVE BEEN REPORTED

IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
FOR CENTURIES.

1492.
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

DESCRIBES BIZARRE
COMPASS READINGS

ON HIS WAY
TO THE NEW WORLD.

1928. THE COMPASS ABOARD
THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS

SPINS UNCONTROLLABLY
WHILE CHARLES LINDBERGH

IS ATTEMPTING TO FLY
FROM CUBA TO FLORIDA.

COMPASS MALFUNCTIONS ARE SUCH
A COMMON PHENOMENON

IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

THAT SOME BELIEVE THE ENTIRE
STRETCH OF OCEAN IS CURSED.

SO, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY
GOOD THEORIES

THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN
WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED?

ONE OF THE POPULAR THEORIES
IS ALIEN ABDUCTION.

THERE WAS
INSTRUMENT MALFUNCTION

BECAUSE THEY WERE
BEING SCANNED

OR THEY WERE BEING
TAMPERED WITH BY A UFO,

AND THEY DISAPPEAR OFF
THE FACE OF THE PLANET.

IS THERE ANY LESS
PARANORMAL THEORIES OUT THERE?

THERE ARE. THERE IS
THE ELECTRONIC FOG THEORY.

THERE'VE BEEN MANY PILOTS
WHO'VE GONE OUT THERE

AND CLAIM THEY'VE GONE
THROUGH THIS BIG FOG BANK,

AND WHEN THEY FLY INTO THAT,

IT SCREWS UP
ALL THEIR INSTRUMENTATION.

THEIR NAVIGATION
SYSTEMS GO DOWN.

THEIR COMPASSES DON'T WORK.

SO, IS THIS SOMETHING
YOU BELIEVE?

DO YOU BELIEVE
THE ELECTRONIC FOG THEORY?

THERE'VE BEEN
SO MANY ACCOUNTS TALKED ABOUT,

ABOUT RUNNING INTO
THIS KIND OF THING,

THAT I THINK THAT
THERE'S SOME VERACITY TO IT.

WHEN WE WERE GOING OVER
EVERYTHING WITH SCOTT,

HE BROUGHT UP ELECTRONIC FOG.

EVEN IF ELECTRONIC FOG
IS REAL,

THERE WAS NO MENTION OF FOG
ANYWHERE IN THE TRANSCRIPTS.

SO, FOR ME,
I KIND OF DISMISS THAT IDEA.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN DISMISS

THE WHOLE SUPERNATURAL ASPECT
OF THIS.

THAT'S EASY TO DO.

BUT THERE WAS THIS THING
ABOUT COMMANDER TAYLOR --

WHEN HE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO UP
THAT MORNING, HE SAID,

"YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T
FEEL GOOD ABOUT THIS AT ALL.

I DON'T WANT TO GO DO THIS."

COMMANDING OFFICER SAID,

"GET YOUR ASS
IN YOUR PLANE AND GO."

SO HE WENT, AND, OF COURSE,
WE KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY.

HE DISAPPEARED.

IS THAT A PURE COINCIDENCE,
OR WAS THAT A PREMONITION?

YOU KNOW, IN MY MIND,
WHEN YOUR GUT

TELLS YOU NOT TO DO SOMETHING,
YOU DON'T DO IT.

AND MAYBE THAT IS
WHAT COMMANDER TAYLOR

WAS GOING OFF OF --
EITHER HIS GUT

OR SOME KIND OF PREMONITION
THAT SAID,

"HEY, YOU'RE NOT GONNA
MAKE IT BACK FROM THIS."

THAT WOULD ACTUALLY PUT
A PARANORMAL-TYPE SPIN ON THIS

BECAUSE SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE
TOLD HIM NOT TO DO IT.

10:15 A.M.

THE TRIANGLE RESEARCH
AND INVESTIGATION GROUP

IS INVESTIGATING THE 1945
DISAPPEARANCE OF FLIGHT 19,

WHICH IS OFTEN ATTRIBUTED
TO MALFUNCTIONING COMPASSES,

A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE
THROUGHOUT THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

WHILE MANY BELIEVE
THE MISSING SQUADRON

FELL VICTIM
TO THE TRIANGLE'S CURSE,

MIKE AND CAPTAIN MOE
HAVE ARRANGED TO MEET

WITH A VETERAN DIVE MASTER
AND PILOT...

FRANK?

YEAH. LET ME TURN
MY TANKS OFF.

...WHO BELIEVES HE HAS
A RATIONAL EXPLANATION

FOR COMMANDER TAYLOR'S
CATASTROPHIC FLIGHT.

HE SAYS BOTH OF
HIS COMPASSES ARE OUT,

AND HE'S IGNORING ADVICE
ON WHERE TO FLY TO.

DO YOU THINK THAT BOTH
HIS COMPASSES WENT OUT?

WELL, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,

A LOT OF COMPASSES GO HAYWIRE
IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

BUT I'M HIGHLY SKEPTICAL THAT
THERE'S SOME PHENOMENA

THAT'S CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN
JUST IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD.

I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE IN IT.RIGHT.

WAS THERE SOMETHING THAT CAUSED
SOME KIND OF DISORIENTATION

AND THAT HE COULDN'T READ
EITHER OF HIS COMPASSES?

I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING
WE CALL OXYGEN DEPRIVATION,

OR A HYPOXIA.

SIMPLE DEFINITION
WOULD BE

THAT IT'S AN IMPAIRMENT
OF JUDGMENT,

KIND OF LIKE
YOU'VE GOTTEN DRUNK.

HYPOXIA IS A CONDITION
SUFFERED BY PILOTS AND DIVERS

WHEN THE BRAIN
IS DEPRIVED OF OXYGEN.

THE TELLTALE SYMPTOMS OF THE
CONDITION ARE DISORIENTATION,

IMPAIRMENT OF JUDGMENT,
HALLUCINATIONS,

AND BEHAVIORAL CHANGES.

IN SOME CASES, HYPOXIA CAN
LEAD TO LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

OR EVEN DEATH.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET THIS
DISORIENTED WITH HYPOXIA?

I REALLY BELIEVE SO.

A LOT OF PEOPLE,
WHEN THEY'RE IMPAIRED,

THEY'RE STILL SAYING,
"I'M IN CHARGE.

I DON'T EVEN REALIZE
THAT I'M DISORIENTATED."

FRANK REALLY SEEMED
EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE.

DEFINITELY HAD
LOTS OF EXPERIENCE.

SO THIS THEORY IS DEFINITELY
WORTH INVESTIGATING.

WE SURE APPRECIATE IT.

I WISH I COULD'VE HELPED
MORE, GENTLEMEN.

ALL THESE YEARS PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN

EXACTLY WHAT WENT WRONG WITH
COMMANDER TAYLOR'S COMPASSES.

MAYBE THEY SHOULD'VE BEEN
LOOKING AT WHAT WENT WRONG

WITH COMMANDER TAYLOR.

WHILE HYPOXIA MAY EXPLAIN

COMMANDER TAYLOR'S BIZARRE
BEHAVIOR ON FLIGHT 19,

IT DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY
NO TRACE OF THE SQUADRON

HAS EVER BEEN FOUND...

OR WHY HUNDREDS OF PLANES
HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME FATE

IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

JUNE 21, 1943.

FIVE CREWMEN IN
A VENTURA LIGHT BOMBER DEPART

BOCA CHICA NAVAL AIR STATION
IN KEY WEST

AND FLY INTO THE TRIANGLE.

THEIR MISSION IS
A PRACTICE BOMBING RUN

STRIKINGLY SIMILAR
TO FLIGHT 19's,

AND THEY, TOO, NEVER RETURN.

THE NAVY LAUNCHES
AN EXHAUSTIVE SEARCH

ALONG THE AIRCRAFT'S ROUTES,

BUT FINDS NO CRASH SITE,
WRECKAGE, OR DEBRIS.

COULD THE BOMBER HAVE SUFFERED
THE SAME MYSTERIOUS FATE

AS FLIGHT 19?

WEDNESDAY, 9:00 A.M.

WHAT UP? WHAT UP?

THE TRIG TEAM HAS TRAVELED

TO THE
SOUTHERN AeroMedical INSTITUTE

TO MEET WITH DR. PAUL BUZA
AND LEARN MORE ABOUT HYPOXIA.

THIS IS
OUR HIGH-ALTITUDE CHAMBER.

IT'S LIKE BEING
ON AN AIRPLANE.

AND AS WE INCREASE
IN ALTITUDE,

YOU REALLY FEEL THE HYPOXIA.

YOU'LL FIND THAT
YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS

DOING EVEN SIMPLE THINGS
LIKE PLAYING WITH GAMES.

SO, HOW DOES THIS WHOLE
THING WORK?

THIS CHAMBER RUNS ON
A GIANT VACUUM SYSTEM,

AND THAT VACUUM SYSTEM IS GONNA
PULL AIR OUT OF THIS CHAMBER,

AND SO IT'S GONNA GET
THINNER AND THINNER,

AND SO IS THE OXYGEN.

SO, MIKE, WHAT THEY'RE GONNA
DO IS PULL ALL THE AIR OUT,

AND YOU'RE GONNA DIE.

SO, THE MILITARY HAS THIS THING
CALLED STRESS INOCULATION,

WHICH BASICALLY MEANS THE ONLY
WAY YOU'RE GONNA LEARN

ABOUT THINGS IS TO DO THEM.

SO THE ONLY WAY YOU LEARN
ABOUT HYPOXIA IS TO GET HYPOXIC.

SO, ARE YOU GUYS EXCITED?

WHO'S MY FIRST GROUP OF PILOTS
RIGHT HERE?

WE'RE GONNA CRAWL INTO
THIS BIG STEEL TUBE.

THEY'RE GONNA PUMP OUT
THE OXYGEN UNTIL WE BLACK OUT.

WHAT CAN GO WRONG?

Moe and Chuck, it's your
favorite flight doctor.

HEY, DOC.

And just checking in to make
sure you guys can hear me okay.

WE'VE GOT YOU
ABOUT FIVE BY FIVE.

ALL IS GOOD.

YOU'RE ALREADY ASCENDING.

YOU ARE NOW APPROACHING
7,000 FEET.

WELL, WHAT WAS THE HIGHEST
YOU PUT A HUMAN UP

JUST OFF OXYGEN?

WELL, THAT WOULD BE
AROUND 20,000 TO 25,000.

AND HOW HIGH ARE WE PLANNING
ON PUTTING THESE GUYS TODAY? 26?

LOOK HOW BIG THEY ARE.
THEY COULD TAKE 26.

I MEAN, THAT'S A LOT OF WEIGHT
RIGHT THERE.

LOOK HOW MUCH OXYGEN THEY
ALREADY HAVE IN THEIR BLOOD.

THEY'RE BIG. THEY GOT,
LIKE, A LOT OF BLOOD.

IT'S NOT GONNA
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

NO? ALL RIGHT.

WHEN YOU GET TO THOSE ALTITUDES,
ALL BETS ARE OFF.

SHOWTIME, DOC.

OOH-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!

IT'S SHOWTIME.
BACK ONLINE.

HYPOXIA IS STILL A
MAJOR PROBLEM FOR PILOTS TODAY,

BUT IT IS MUCH BETTER
UNDERSTOOD THAN IT WAS IN 1945.

COULD THIS CONDITION FINALLY
EXPLAIN THE TRAGIC DECISIONS

MADE BY COMMANDER TAYLOR?

COULD IT FINALLY EXPLAIN
HOW FLIGHT 19 MET THEIR FATE

IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE?

RED RIDER,
THIS IS LUNATIC FRINGE.

YOU GOT ME?

WEDNESDAY, 12:15 P.M.

THE TRIG TEAM
IS INVESTIGATING

A THEORY THAT HYPOXIA
MAY BE RESPONSIBLE

FOR ONE OF THE MOST
INFAMOUS CASES

IN THE HISTORY
OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE --

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE FIVE
PLANES THAT MADE UP FLIGHT 19.

IT'S SHOWTIME.
BACK ONLINE.

Can you see what
your oxygen level is?

It looks like
I'm rocking 99 and 71.

ON THE RIDE UP,
I WAS IN THE 60s.

Moe is rocking 98 and 96.

THROUGHOUT THE TEST,
CHUCK AND MOE

WILL BE WEARING PULSE OXIMETERS,
WHICH USE LIGHT BEAMS TO MEASURE

THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN
IN THE BLOOD.

WHILE ALL TEST SUBJECTS
ARE DIFFERENT,

IT'S GENERALLY ACCEPTED
THAT OXYGEN LEVELS

BELOW 90%
CAN CAUSE IMPAIRMENT,

AND THAT LEVELS BELOW 55%
CAN CAUSE DEATH.

WE ARE APPROACHING
16,000 FEET, GENTLEMEN.

AND LET'S GO AHEAD,
AND LET'S JUST GET STARTED.

All right, what do you
guys got in your hands?

I've got a red square
going into the red square...

SECTION.

NICELY DONE, CHUCK.

I'VE GOT A HEART.

A HEART.

HE CALLED THE STAR A HEART.

THAT'S NOT A HEART.I'VE GOT A STAR.

THEY'RE ALREADY
ACTING STUPID.

THEY HAD US DOING
DIFFERENT MENIAL TASKS

WHERE YOU PICK UP
A ROUND CYLINDRICAL OBJECT

AND STICK IT IN THE ROUND HOLE.

ALL RIGHT, I GOT A...

I GUESS I GOT A... YOU KNOW.

GO AHEAD AND SPEAK UP,
MOE.

That's all right.

YOU PICK UP A CYLINDER,
AND YOUR MIND IS SAYING TO YOU,

"PURPLE CYLINDER.
JUST SAY IT, MOE,"

AND YOU JUST COULDN'T
GET THE WORDS OUT.

TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF OXYGEN OUT
OF MY SYSTEM, AND I'M A CLOWN.

CHUCK, YOU'RE STARTING
TO TURN RED

LIKE YOU'VE BEEN SITTING
IN THE SUN FOR A COUPLE DAYS.

I DON'T KNOW.
WELL?

YEAH, CHUCK,
YOU'RE TURNING RED, BRO.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

ALL RIGHT, SO

AS THEY START TO GO UP
IN ALTITUDE,

I MEAN, JUST WATCHING
THESE TWO TOUGH GUY,

THESE GUYS THAT I HAVE
SO MUCH RESPECT FOR --

THEY START BABBLING.

IN MY WILDEST DREAMS,

I WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED
THOSE TWO GUYS TO ACT LIKE THAT.

I'm kind of light-headed
on the...

SPEAK IN SENTENCES, CHUCK.

I'm making them right now.
If you'll shut your pie hole,

I'M GONNA TELL YOU
WHAT I'M DOING.

Now, hey, gentlemen, I think
we need to go in the masks.

CHUCK, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I'VE GOT 73 AND 72.

WE AIN'T DOING THAT YET.

I'M STILL MAKING CIRCLES.

OKAY, COMMANDER TAYLOR.

IN MY MIND, I THOUGHT I WAS
DOING EVERYTHING 100% CORRECTLY.

MY SpO IS 72.

I'VE GOT GREEN TRIANGLES.

I CAN DO THIS
WITH A -- A...

WHAT THE ****
IS THIS THING?

IT'S A SQUARE.

IT'S -- IT'S...

IT'S A STAR.

CHUCK, CHUCK, I'VE GOT TO GET
YOU ON THAT MASK SOON.

We're good.

WAIT TILL I HIT --

I'M GONNA GO TO 60.

I'VE GOT 72 AND 76.

I'M STILL BEATING MOE.

CHUCK,
YOU'RE LOSING IT, BRO.

YOU'RE LOSING IT.

I THOUGHT I HAD EVERYTHING
IN CONTROL,

BUT THAT'S ONE OF
THE SIGNS OF HYPOXIA --

THINKING THAT YOU HAVE
EVERYTHING IN CONTROL.

AT THIS POINT, GENTLEMEN,
I HAVE TO BREAK UP THE PARTY.

AND YOU NEED TO... Aw.

WE'RE JUST STARTING
TO HAVE FUN.

BOTH OF YOU GUYS,
PUT YOUR MASKS ON.

I'M AT 76 RIGHT NOW,
SO I SHOULD BE DOING GOOD.

TAKE YOUR HEADSET OFF
AND PUT YOUR MASK ON.

I SHOULD BE ROCKING
RIGHT NOW.

Do it now. Do it now.

AFTER I DID AS REQUESTED,

RIGHT AFTER THE FIRST GOOD
BREATH OF OXYGEN

THAT YOU GOT ONCE YOU GO
ON O2, THE HYPOXIA GOES AWAY.

WOW.

THAT WAS SOMETHING ELSE.WELCOME BACK.

YEAH.
YOU FEEL ALL RIGHT?

- YEAH.
- I MISSED YOU, MAN.

I MISSED YOU.

PRESTO CHANGO.
YOU'RE GOOD TO GO AGAIN.

SO, WHAT DO YOU GUYS NOTICE?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

AT ONE POINT, I PICKED UP
A STAR, AND I KNOW IT'S A STAR

'CAUSE IT'S
A DAMN YELLOW STAR,

AND I COULDN'T SAY --

I'M LIKE I GOT --YOU WERE
LIKE, "WHAT IS THIS?"

BUT IT FELT LIKE JUST KIND OF
A LITTLE BIT OF DIZZINESS.

NOTHING THAT I DIDN'T THINK
I COULD WORK MYSELF THROUGH.

AND I SAID, "YEAH,
I'VE GOT THIS.

I'M GONNA PUT ON
MY SPEED JEANS AND GO."

YOU SAID
YOU GOT THIS 10 TIMES.

OF COURSE I DID.

HE SAID, "PUT THE OXYGEN ON,"
FIVE TIMES,

AND YOU WERE ARGUING.

FROM EXPERIENCING
THE HYPOXIC CHAMBER,

THERE ARE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES
TO WHAT OCCURRED IN THE COCKPIT

WITH COMMANDER TAYLOR --
CONFUSION IN THE COCKPIT,

NAVIGATIONAL ERROR.

YOU PUT YOURSELF IN A MIND FRAME

THAT YOU'RE GONNA
REMAIN IN CONTROL

AND YOU'RE NOT LOSING IT.

WHAT WE DID TODAY
WAS A CONTROLLED ASCENT,

BUT I DIDN'T KEEP YOU THERE
FOR TWO

RIGHT.

AND DEPENDING ON
WHAT THE ALTITUDE WAS,

THE LONGER
HE'S AT THAT ALTITUDE,

THE MORE HYPOXIC
HE'S GONNA GET.

SO, WHAT'S THE ALTITUDE

THAT YOU SEE THE ONSET
COME ON NORMALLY?

ANYTHING OVER 10,000.

THAT'S WHY COMMERCIAL AIRLINES
CANNOT ALLOW THE CABIN ALTITUDE

TO GO OVER 8,000 FEET
FOR YOUR SAFETY.

WE DON'T KNOW HOW
HIGH FLIGHT 19 WAS.

SO I GUESS THE NEXT THING
THAT WE HAVE TO FIND OUT

IS HOW HIGH THAT FLIGHT
ACTUALLY WENT.

WHAT WAS
THEIR FLIGHT PROFILE?

AND EITHER
WE CAN ATTRIBUTE THIS

TO A POSSIBLE
HYPOXIA SITUATION

OR TAKE HYPOXIA
RIGHT OFF THE TABLE.

ANYTHING OVER 10,000,
THEN HYPOXIA IS ONE POSSIBILITY.

OR THE OTHER ONE WOULD BE
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.

CARBON MONOXIDE
WAS A BIG ISSUE

AND STILL IS AN ISSUE
IN AVIATION TODAY,

BUT NOT AS MUCH
AS IT USED TO BE.

RIGHT.

IF THERE WAS SOME TYPE
OF LEAKAGE INTO THE CABIN

FROM THE FUMES
AND THE EXHAUST,

YOU WOULD'VE HAD
THE SAME PROBLEMS

TRYING TO PUT THOSE ITEMS
IN THE BOX.

DR BUZA'S THOUGHTS WERE
THAT COMMANDER TAYLOR

COULD HAVE BEEN SUFFERING
FROM HYPOXIA ON FLIGHT 19,

BUT ONLY IF THAT FLIGHT WAS AT,
OR ABOVE, 10,000 FEET.

WELL, DOC, THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE IT, MAN.

IT'S BEEN A REAL PLEASURE
HAVING YOU.

IF NOT, CARBON MONOXIDE
IS THE NEXT LOGICAL ANSWER.

THURSDAY, 10:15 A.M.

THE TRIG TEAM
IS TRAVELING TO WHAT REMAINS

OF NAVAL AIR STATION
FORT LAUDERDALE --

THE LAST PLACE THAT FLIGHT 19
WAS EVER SEEN

BEFORE IT FLEW
INTO THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

AND DISAPPEARED
FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

ALL RIGHT, SO, TODAY
WE'RE GONNA GO OUT,

AND WE'RE GONNA MEET
WITH A GENTLEMAN

BY THE NAME OF DR. BLOOM.

HE IS A NAVAL HISTORIAN,

AND HE IS
THE SUBJECT-MATTER EXPERT

ON EVERYTHING THAT
HAS TO DO WITH FLIGHT 19.

THIS IS CAPTAIN MOE.

NICE TO MEET YOU.AND DAVE.

WE'RE GONNA ASK HIM
TWO QUESTIONS.

ONE, WHAT WAS THE FLIGHT
ALTITUDE OF FLIGHT 19?

AND THE SECOND QUESTION IS,

WHAT'S THE LAYOUT
OF THAT AIRCRAFT?

TO SEE IF CARBON MONOXIDE

COULD'VE GOTTEN INTO
THE COCKPIT OR FUSELAGE.

JOHN, YOU'RE THE EXPERT
ON THE STORY OF FLIGHT 19.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED
WHEN THEY WENT OUT THAT DAY?

THERE HAVE BEEN
A LOT OF THEORIES.

THERE'S A THEORY THAT
IT COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING

ABOUT THE MOON AND THE SUN
BEING IN A CERTAIN ALIGNMENT,

ELECTRONIC FOG, THINGS THAT
MAKE COMPASSES NOT WORK.

IS THERE ANY WEIGHT
TO ANY OF THEM?

I DON'T THINK SO.
I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE

IN A LOT
OF SUPERNATURAL STUFF.

WE'RE NOT SURE
WHAT HAPPENED.

A NAVY BOARD OF
INVESTIGATION CONCLUDED

THAT TAYLOR'S BROKEN COMPASSES

WERE TO BLAME
FOR THE DISAPPEARANCE,

BUT THE NAVY HAS NEVER BEEN
ABLE TO EXPLAIN

HOW TWO COMPASSES COULD
MALFUNCTION AT THE SAME TIME.

THE INEXPLICABLE
SERIES OF EVENTS

HAS SIMPLY BEEN BLAMED
ON CAUSES UNKNOWN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED
WHEN THEY WENT OUT THAT DAY?

WE'RE NOT SURE
WHAT HAPPENED.

THURSDAY, 11:00 A.M.

THE TRIG TEAM IS MEETING

WITH A NAVAL HISTORIAN
TO DETERMINE

IF OXYGEN DEPRIVATION
MAY BE RESPONSIBLE

FOR A SERIES
OF BIZARRE DECISIONS

MADE BY THE COMMANDER
OF FLIGHT 19

THAT LED TO THE DISAPPEARANCE
OF THE FIVE AVENGER BOMBERS

DEEP INSIDE
THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

ALL RIGHT, SO, READING THE
TRANSCRIPTS, COMMANDER TAYLOR

SAID THAT BOTH OF HIS
COMPASSES WERE OUT.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT NORMALLY
HAPPENS IN AIRPLANES?

IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN, NO.

DID ANYBODY ELSE HAVE
ANY COMPASS PROBLEMS

OR REPORT ANY OTHER MALFUNCTIONS
OF THEIR INSTRUMENTATION?

NO. THE ONLY TRANSCRIPT
THAT SAYS THE COMPASSES

WERE MALFUNCTIONING
IS WITH TAYLOR.

ALL THE OTHER PLANES
DIDN'T SAY,

"OH, MINE
AREN'T WORKING EITHER."

WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED
WHEN THEY WENT OUT THAT DAY?

WELL,
I THINK THAT THEY WERE

WHERE THEY SHOULD'VE BEEN OUT
OVER THE BAHAMAS

AND THAT TAYLOR
WAS CONFUSED ABOUT THAT

AND THOUGHT HE WAS OVER
THE KEYS. HE SAID SO.

THERE WERE A COUPLE OF TIMES
THAT THE CREWMEN SAID,

"IF WE JUST FLY WEST,
WE'LL GET HOME."

AND THEY DID,
BUT THEY DIDN'T FLY FAR ENOUGH.

AT 5:24 P.M.,

1 HOUR AND 45 MINUTES
AFTER FLIGHT 19

WAS REPORTED LOST, THE SQUADRON

MANAGED TO CONVINCE
COMMANDER TAYLOR

THAT THEY WERE OVER THE BAHAMAS,
NOT THE FLORIDA KEYS.

HE AGREED TO TURN THE PLANES
WEST, TOWARDS THE SETTING SUN.

HOWEVER, 40 MINUTES LATER,
HE HAD SECOND THOUGHTS

AND REVERSED COURSE AGAIN.

INSISTING THAT FLIGHT 19
WAS OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO,

TAYLOR ORDERED THEM EAST.

LESS THAN AN HOUR LATER,
HE WAS HEARD INSTRUCTING THE MEN

TO PREPARE TO DITCH
THEIR PLANES AT SEA.

WHY DO YOU THINK
THE CONFUSION SET IN?

HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED HYPOXIA
AS BEING THE PROBLEM?

NO, BECAUSE THESE PLANES
ON THIS TRAINING FLIGHT,

THEY WERE PROBABLY
ONLY FLYING AT 3,000 FEET,

AND HYPOXIA IS NOT AN ISSUE
UNTIL YOU'RE ABOVE 10,000 FEET.

SO THERE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN
AN OXYGEN ISSUE.

SO, WE MET WITH A DOCTOR,
AND IF WE CAN RULE OUT HYPOXIA,

HE MENTIONED SOMETHING
ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE

HAVING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS.

WOULD THAT BE A PROBLEM?

I MEAN, YOU HAVE THIS GIANT
ENGINE THAT SITS RIGHT UP HERE.

WELL, THE ENGINE, EVERYTHING
IS IN FRONT OF THE PILOT.

THE EXHAUST ACTUALLY COMES OUT
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE.

UNDER THE WINGS.UNDER THE WINGS.

AND PROBABLY NONE OF IT
COMES UP INTO THE COCKPIT.

BUT THE PLUMBING OF THE ENGINE
HAS TO HOOK SOMEWHERE IN THERE,

SO THEORETICALLY THERE COULD BE
A HOLE IN THE CABIN WALL.

AND THAT PORTED EXHAUST
MIGHT HAVE

SEEPED INTO
THE COCKPIT AREA ITSELF?

WELL, I SEE YOUR POINT,
AND THAT CERTAINLY COULD HAPPEN.

OKAY.

THIS PARTICULAR AIRCRAFT,
THE AVENGER --

GIANT RADIAL ENGINE,
A LOT OF EXHAUST GAS.

SO IT'S NOT A FAR STRETCH
THAT EXHAUST GAS

COULD LEAK INTO THE MAIN
FUSELAGE IN THE COCKPIT,

CAUSING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.

RULING OUT HYPOXIA
AND PARANORMAL FORCES,

THE DISORIENTATION THAT IS
DOCUMENTED IN THE TRANSCRIPTS

STRONGLY SUGGESTS
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.

BUT NONE OF THIS EXPLAINS
WHY THE FIVE PLANES

HAVE NEVER BEEN FOUND
WITHIN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

JOHN, LET'S PUT ASIDE
WHY THEY CRASHED.

WHERE DO YOU THINK
THEY CRASHED?

I THINK, AFTER EVERYTHING
I'VE LOOKED AT,

THAT THEY WENT DOWN WITHIN
100 MILES OF THE COAST.

THE BIG QUESTION IS, IS DID
THEY ALL GO DOWN TOGETHER?

BUT THEY'RE NOT SURE
THAT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

MANY BELIEVE THAT THE FIVE
AVENGERS DID NOT REMAIN TOGETHER

TILL THE END,
THAT AFTER TAYLOR TURNED HIS MEN

EAST ONCE AGAIN,
SOME BROKE RANKS,

INSTEAD CONTINUING WEST.

EXPERTS BELIEVE
THAT IF THIS DID OCCUR,

THE ROGUE AVENGERS
MAY HAVE HAD ENOUGH FUEL

TO REACH THE COST OF FLORIDA
OR AT LEAST COME VERY CLOSE.

HEY, YOU HARVEY'S FRIEND?

YEAH, I AM.
CHUCK.

CHUCK, I'M PAUL.
- CAPTAIN MOE. NICE TO MEET YOU.

CAP, NICE TO MEET YOU.

WE'VE BEEN BEATING THE BUSHES
ABOUT THIS FLIGHT 19 CASE.

A BUDDY OF MOE'S
SET US UP WITH A GUY

WHO MAY HAVE A LEAD ON
WHERE ONE, IF NOT ALL,

OF THE FLIGHT 19 AIRCRAFT
MAY HAVE CRASHED.

CAPTAIN HARVEY TOLD ME
AN INTERESTING STORY

THAT YOU TOLD HIM
ABOUT FLIGHT 19.

THAT HAPPENED
A LONG TIME AGO.

I WAS WORKING
ON A TREASURE HUNTER.

THE SHIP
WE WERE LOOKING FOR

WAS THE
SAN FRANCISCO Y SAN ANTONIO.

WHERE WERE YOU SEARCHING
FOR THIS AT?

WE WERE UP OFF
JUST SOUTH OF JUPITER.

AND WE'RE RUNNING A GRID, AND
THE SONAR PICKED UP THIS OBJECT.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS,
IT WAS PRETTY DEEP WATER.

BUT WE DECIDED WE WERE
GONNA GO HAVE A LOOK.

WHAT WAS THE DEPTH? ABOUT 180 FEET.

AT THAT LEVEL,
YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, IT'S FATAL.

ABSOLUTELY.
THAT'S A TECHNICAL DIVE.

AND I WENT OVER. A COUPLE
OTHER GUYS WENT OVER WITH US,

AND I MADE PAST 100,
BUT, AGAIN,

I WAS HAVING TROUBLE
WITH MY EARS.

I SAID,
"NAH, I'M NOT DOING THIS."

I WENT BACK TO THE TOP.

SO YOU CAME BACK.
DID EVERYBODY ELSE GET DOWN?

THE OTHER THREE GUYS
GOT ALL THE WAY DOWN,

BUT THEIR DOWN TIME WAS ONLY
ABOUT FOUR TO FIVE MINUTES.

WHEN THEY CAME UP, THEY WERE
TALKING ABOUT THIS AIRPLANE

THEY SAW DOWN THERE.

AND THEY HAD FOUND
A GRUMMAN AVENGER BOMBER,

A WORLD WAR II VINTAGE PLANE.

WHEN THEY CAME UP, THEY
WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS AIRPLANE

THEY SAW DOWN THERE.

AND THEY HAD FOUND
A GRUMMAN AVENGER BOMBER.

MONDAY. THE TRIANGLE
RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION GROUP

IS INVESTIGATING ONE OF
THE MOST FAMOUS DISAPPEARANCES

IN BERMUDA TRIANGLE HISTORY --

FLIGHT 19,

AND THE REVELATION
THAT THE SQUADRON'S FIVE PLANES

MAY NOT HAVE
GONE DOWN TOGETHER.

SO, AT WHAT POINT
DID YOU DECIDE,

"HEY, WE MIGHT HAVE
SOMETHING HERE"?

WAS IT DOWN THE ROAD? OR
DID YOU GO DO SOME RESEARCH?

IT WAS
ALMOST 10 YEARS LATER

WHEN I HEARD THE STORY
ABOUT FLIGHT 19.

THE THING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
MISS ABOUT THAT TRANSMISSION --

THERE WAS A LITTLE ANIMOSITY

BETWEEN THE MARINES
AND THE NAVY ON THAT FLIGHT.

THERE'S THEORY
THAT THREE MARINES SAID

"YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MIND,
WE'RE TURNING NOW."

AND IF YOU TAKE A LINE

FROM WHERE THEY WOULD
HAVE BEEN, FLYING

WEST TOWARDS THE STATES,

THEY'RE GONNA COME IN
JUST SOUTH OF JUPITER.

SO, THERE'S AN ARGUMENT
THAT SAYS AT LEAST SOME OF

FLIGHT 19 MAY HAVE DISOBEYED
COMMANDER TAYLOR'S ORDERS.

I MEAN, THERE'S A BREAKING POINT
IN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND.

AND THIS, RIGHT HERE, IS
WHERE WE FOUND THE AIRCRAFT.

IF THIS WAS A PLANE
THAT BROKE OFF FROM FLIGHT 19

AND TRIED TO MAKE IT
BACK TO LAND,

IT COULD HAVE DITCHED
SOMEWHERE NEAR JUPITER,

AND IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE IT.

TUESDAY, 7:00 A.M.

THE TRIG TEAM
ENTERS THE DANGEROUS WATERS

OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

AS THEY RACE
TO THE WITNESSES' COORDINATES.

CHUCK, DAVE,
WE'RE GETTING CLOSE!

SO WE'RE CLOSE TO WHERE
PAUL'S SITE IS?

RIGHT ALMOST
ON THE MONEY.

BUT AS THEY APPROACH
THEIR SEARCH AREA,

THEY ARE SURROUNDED
BY POWERFUL WAVES...

A TASTE OF THE DANGEROUS
CONDITIONS THAT HAVE MADE

THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE NOTORIOUS
AND FEARED AROUND THE WORLD.

TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK
FOR SOMETHING.

I MEAN, YOU COULDN'T ASK
FOR WORSE CONDITIONS.

THE WIND'S BLOWING.
THERE'S A 3-FOOT CHOP.

IT SEEMS LIKE ANY TIME WE GO OUT
IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE,

THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
STOPS US,

AND IT'S LIKE POSEIDON
JUST SAID, "YOU'RE DONE!"

AND WE'RE GETTING TOSSED AROUND.
MAKES EVERYTHING HARDER.

HERE WE GO, MIKE.
I GOT IT.

WE GOT SOMETHING.
LOOK AT THIS.

BOY, THIS JUST POPPED
RIGHT UP.

- LOOK AT THAT, MAN.
- THERE IT IS. 180 FEET.

HEY, GUYS. WE JUST LOCATED
SOMETHING HERE AT 180 FEET.

WHAT'S IT LOOK LIKE?

VERY FLAT ON TOP.
OKAY.

NOT BIG, HIGH SIDES.ALL RIGHT.

SO, AS SOON AS WE GOT
OUT IN THE DEEPER WATER,

WE START THE SEARCH,
AND VERY QUICKLY, WE GOT A HIT.

IT'S THE RIGHT DEPTH.
IT'S THE RIGHT SHAPE.

RIGHT LOCATION.

I'M THINKING
THIS COULD BE FLIGHT 19.

HEY, GUYS,
BIT OF CURRENT HERE.

THERE'S ABOUT 3 KNOTS
OF CURRENT, SO...

WELL, WE AIN'T DIVING 180.

IT'S WAY TOO DEEP
FOR YOU GUYS TO DIVE,

SO MAKE SURE YOU GOT THAT
R.O.V. READY.

ALL RIGHT, WE GOT IT.

SO, EVEN THE BEST
OF CIRCUMSTANCES,

180 FEET IS A DIFFICULT DIVE.

IT'S A TECHNICAL DIVE.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT
YOUR NORMAL DIVER WOULD DO.

AND, TODAY, WE GOT A LOT
OF THINGS WORKING AGAINST US.

WE GOT WAVE ACTION. WE GOT WIND.
WE GOT BAD CLARITY.

WE GOT A RIPPING CURRENT
THAT'S GOING DOWN THERE.

SO WE FIGURED OUT BEST OPTION

WOULD BE TO SEND
OUR UNDERWATER DRONE DOWN.

OKAY, IT'S COMING UP.

IF EVERYTHING GOES TO HELL
IN A HANDBASKET,

ALL WE'VE DONE
IS LOSE AN R.O.V.

SO, MOE, GET US ON TOP

AND TELL US WHEN WE'RE THERE,
AND WE'LL SPLASH HER.

ALL RIGHT, LET ME
STOP THE BOAT HERE.

I'M ABOUT OVER IT.

STANDING BY.

READY TO DEPLOY.

MIKE,
GET READY TO THROW HER.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE OVER THE MARK.
LET HER GO!

SEND DOWN THE DRONE.

LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT GOING.
HOLD ON.

KEEP REELING IT OUT,
MICHAEL.

SHE'S IN A LITTLE CURRENT.
I CAN SEE HER MOVING.

YEAH,
SHE'S HAVING A HARD TIME.

SO, WE PULL OUT THE R.O.V.,
THROW IT IN THE WATER.

WE START LOOKING.
WE'RE CRUISING AROUND.

ALL I SEE IS BLUE, MAN.

100, AND NOTHING
BUT BLUE WATER.

HEY, MOE,
HOLD UP A LITTLE BIT!

SHE'S FIGHTING
TO KEEP UP WITH US.

ALL RIGHT, I'M ON THE BOTTOM.
I GOT A SHADOW.

WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S CLOUDY.

VISIBILITY'S NOT PERFECT.

I PROBABLY GOT ABOUT 30,
40 FOOT OF VIS.

AND YOU COULD JUST SEE
A SHADOW OUT.

IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A TRAIL
GOING TO WHATEVER THIS IS.

MICHAEL, GIVE HER SOME SLACK.WHAT IS THAT?

HOLD ON. I'M GONNA GO
AROUND TO THE RIGHT.

GET CLOSER TO IT.

IT'S NOT AS EASY
AS IT LOOKS. HOLD ON.

CHUCK'S LIKE, "WHAT IS IT?
WHAT IS IT?"

I'M LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW, MAN."

I'M LOOKING AT THIS
TINY LITTLE SCREEN.

I CAN'T TELL WHAT THIS IS.

I'M LIKE, "I'M TRYING
TO GET BETTER FOOTAGE FOR YOU."

KEEP THAT PEAK.IT'S
GOING AS FAR AS SHE GOES.

GIVE HER GAS, SON!

WHAT IS THAT?

WHAT ARE YOU SEEING?

PULL IT UP A LITTLE BIT.
BRING IT UP.

SEE IF WE CAN'T GET
A BETTER VIEW.

ALL RIGHT, HOLD ON.

WE GOT A TAIL FUSELAGE.

COME ON.

THIS LOOKS...

SO, WE'VE DEFINITELY FOUND
AN AIRPLANE?

THAT IS
A WORLD WAR II AIRPLANE, SIR.

WHAT KIND?

IT LOOKS LIKE AN AVENGER.

WE GOT A TAIL FUSELAGE.

COME ON.

THIS LOOKS...

SO, WE'VE DEFINITELY FOUND
AN AIRPLANE?

THAT IS
A WORLD WAR II AIRPLANE, SIR.

WHAT KIND?

IT LOOKS LIKE AN AVENGER.WHOO!

IT LOOKS LIKE AN AVENGER.

THE FINAL RESTING
PLACE OF FLIGHT 19,

ONE OF THE GREATEST MYSTERIES
OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE,

MAY FINALLY BE IN REACH.

THE TRIANGLE RESEARCH
AND INVESTIGATION GROUP

HAS IDENTIFIED
A CRASHED AIRPLANE

NEAR THE WESTERN TIP
OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

IT TOOK A LITTLE BIT FOR DAVE

TO GET THE R.O.V.
DOWN TO THE SPOT,

AND WHEN THE AIRCRAFT
CAME INTO VIEW,

THE FUSELAGE IS THE RIGHT SHAPE,
THE WINGS ARE THE RIGHT SHAPE.

IT HAS LANDING GEAR
THAT COLLAPSED INTO THE WINGS.

THIS THING IS JUST
SCREAMING "AVENGER" TO ME.

HERE, CHECK IT OUT, MOE.

WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS --
THAT'S AN OLD FUSELAGE.

THERE'S A WING RIGHT THERE.
RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR.

I'LL BE DAMNED.

THIS DRONE'S GONNA
START RUNNING OUT OF JUICE.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET THIS
THING UP SOON, YOU GUYS.

ALL RIGHT, HOLD ON. LET ME
DO A LITTLE BIT MORE RECORDING.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET
A BIGGER-SCREEN TV

'CAUSE, I MEAN,
THIS SITUATION HERE SUCKS.

NOW, I'M LOOKING AT IT
ON THE BACK OF A BOAT

THAT'S ROCKING BACK AND FORTH,
UP AND DOWN.

THE SUNSHINE'S
HITTING ON THIS SCREEN.

I CAN'T REALLY SEE,
SO I CAN'T BE 100%.

ALL RIGHT, PULL IT IN
AND BRING THE LADDER UP.

THERE IT IS.

I WANT TO GET IT BACK INSIDE

ON A BIGGER SCREEN,
COMPUTER OR TV,

SOMETHING THAT I CAN MAKE
A REAL, LIVE DECISION

ON THIS AIRCRAFT.

AFT STATION SECURE.

READY FOR FORWARD FLIGHT --

OR FORWARD FLOAT.

I MEAN, LOOK, IF WE'VE FOUND
FLIGHT 19,

THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE.

THAT'D BE HUGE.

CHUCK, HERE'S A PROFILE
OF WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT.

IT'S DEFINITELY
A WORLD WAR II AIRPLANE.

5:00 P.M.

THE TRIG TEAM REVIEWS
FOOTAGE FROM THE R.O.V.

IN HOPES OF POSITIVELY
IDENTIFYING THE WRECKAGE

AS ONE OF THE FLIGHT 19
AVENGER PLANES.

WE GOT
SOME GOOD FOOTAGE THERE.

IT'S CLEAR.
I MEAN, THAT'S...

THAT IS AWESOME.

SO, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS
SOME DETECTIVE WORK HERE.

DAVE IS GOING THROUGH THE VIDEO
FOOTAGE FRAME BY FRAME,

AND I'M GOING THROUGH
SOME OLD PHOTOGRAPHS OF AVENGERS

TO SEE IF WE HAVE
AN ACTUAL MATCH.

THIS,
WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT,

IS GONNA BE
THE LANDING GEARS.

SO WE HAVE RETRACTABLE
LANDING GEAR,

AND THIS IS
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

SEE RIGHT THERE,
HOW IT COMES IN?

THAT'S THAT VOID.
THAT'S THAT SPACE

THAT YOU'RE SEEING
RIGHT HERE.

YOU SEE HOW THE FRONT EDGE
OF THE WING IS STRAIGHT?

YEAH.THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

DO YOU SEE
THE FLAPS THAT ARE --

THAT'S THIS AREA
RIGHT HERE.

GO AHEAD AND MOVE
IT FORWARD, DAVE.

BRING IT TO
THE BACK SIDE AGAIN.

IT'S STILL LOOKING LIKE AN
AVENGER AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

- THIS IS IT?
- I CAN'T TELL YOU IT'S IT.

IT'S UPSIDE DOWN.
IT'S CLOSE.

I CAN TELL YOU WE'RE CLOSE.
KEEP GOING, DAVE.

LET'S LOOK A LITTLE MORE.
HOLD ON.

BRING IT AROUND.
GET ME CLOSER.

THE R.O.V. DID GOOD.

ALL RIGHT.

STOP. FREEZE.

THAT'S LANDING GEAR,
TAILHOOK.

BUT HERE'S THE PROBLEM.

YOU SEE THIS?

SEE HOW THE BACK SIDE OF THAT
AIRPLANE HAS AN ENTRANCEWAY?

THAT WAS SO THE CREW
COULD GET INSIDE.

THE AVENGER'S
A BIGGER AIRPLANE.

THAT'S NOT AN AVENGER.

THE AVENGER AIRCRAFT HAD
A BIG, OLD BELLY ON IT.

I MEAN, IT HAD
A THREE-PERSON CREW.

IT HAD AN ENTRANCE POINT AT THE
AFT SECTION OF THE AIRPLANE

FOR THE CREW TO ENTER
AND EXIT THE AIRCRAFT.

THE PLANE THAT WE'RE LOOKING
AT ON THE BOTTOM

DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF THIS.

I MEAN, LOOK HOW BIG THAT
GROUPER IS LOOKING AT THAT.

I MEAN, COULDN'T THAT BE BIGGER?
COULDN'T IT BE IN THE SAND?

NO, NO. IT'S UPSIDE DOWN.

THIS PART OF THE --
THIS PART OF THE AIRPLANE'S

GONNA LOOK LIKE
A PREGNANT GUPPY

BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE
THE TORPEDOES SHOULD BE.

- SO IT'S NOT FLIGHT 19?
- IT'S THE RIGHT ERA.

IT'S DEFINITELY
THE RIGHT TIME FRAME.

JUST NOT THE ONE
WE'RE AFTER.

YEAH.

THAT BITES, MAN.
GEEZ.

WE WERE LOOKING FOR AN AVENGER,
AND WE FOUND A HELLCAT.

NOT WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR,

BUT IT'S A DEFINITE NOTHER
MYSTERY OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

WHY IS A HELLCAT DOWN HERE?

SORRY TO SAY, THAT WASN'T WHAT
WE WERE LOOKING FOR.

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANT.
IT'S WHAT YOU GET.

YEP.

CHUCK IDENTIFIED THE PLANE.

IT WAS IN SERVICE
AT THE SAME TIME

AS FLIGHT 19 BACK IN 1945,
BUT IT WAS NOT AN AVENGER.

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
LOOKING FOR THESE PLANES

OUT THERE IN THE WATER.

JUST LIKE THE PLANES
JUST DISAPPEARED.

THIS MAKES YOU THINK,

"DID THESE PLANES
ACTUALLY GO DOWN IN THE OCEAN,

OR DID THEY JUST VANISH
IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE?"

EVERYBODY KEEPS SAYING
IT'S A SUPERNATURAL OCCURRENCE.

THEY JUST DISAPPEARED
OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

THOSE PLANES ARE ON THE BOTTOM
OF THE OCEAN FLOOR.

WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE.
BUT THEY'RE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.

THIS WASN'T FLIGHT 19, BUT, MAN,
IT'S DEFINITELY A REMINDER

HOW MANY WRECKS ARE OUT
IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

THIS IS JUST ONE
OF THE MANY MYSTERIES

THAT NEED TO BE SOLVED.
