45年五架轰炸机在百慕大上空失去了联系,派去找的飞机也没回来

On December 5, 1945, five US Navy "Avenger" torpedo bombers took off from a base in Florida for a routine training flight. Fourteen people in total, led by Lieutenant Taylor, an experienced pilot.

In the afternoon, the tower heard Taylor's voice over the radio. He said he was lost, his compass was malfunctioning, and he couldn't tell direction: "Nothing feels right, not even the sea looks like the sea." The tower told him to fly west, but he said he couldn't be sure which way was west. Later, the voice on the radio grew weaker and weaker until there was nothing.

The base sent a large seaplane to search, with thirteen people aboard. About twenty minutes after takeoff, it too vanished. Later, someone on a merchant ship said they saw a ball of fire on the sea in that area.

For five full days, the Navy sent hundreds of planes and dozens of ships to search the sea, but not a single piece of debris was found. The fourteen men plus the thirteen on the search-and-rescue plane—twenty-seven people in total—just disappeared.

This incident is the core of the "Bermuda Triangle" legend. Later writers made it increasingly mystical, talking about magnetic fields, aliens, and rifts in space-time.

The Navy's investigation at the time concluded: Lieutenant Taylor likely mistook his bearings, flew out to sea, ran out of fuel, and with nightfall and poor sea conditions, the planes sank quickly after ditching. As for the search plane, that type of aircraft was notorious for leaking gasoline at the time, and an explosion in mid-air was possible. Later, Taylor's mother rejected this conclusion, and the Navy changed it to "cause unknown."

Even today, countless ships and planes pass over that stretch of sea, and insurance companies say the accident rate there is not higher than in other sea areas.
