Answer: Flight 19 was the designation of five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared on December 5, 1945, during a United States Navy-authorized overwater navigation training flight from Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The assignment was called "Navigation problem No. 1", a combination of bombing and navigation, which other flights had or were scheduled to undertake that day.

How did the Bermuda triangle get its place?

Tectonic drift -- Actually, that's moving it. The Bermuda Triangle reaches from Bermuda (a tiny island) to Puerto Rico (a tiny island) to the city of Miami (not so tiny.) The concept of the Bermuda triangle was created in 1950 with an article by Associated Press reporter Edward Van Winkle Jones. He had a map showing an airplane flying from Bermuda toward Puerto Rico, another plane flying from Puerto Rico to Miami, and finally, Flight 19 flying from Fort Lauderdale out in the direction of Bermuda. It looks a triangle drawn over the Atlantic Ocean. Each year, ships and planes go missing off the eastern coastline of the United States, as planes have for a century, and ships literally for hundreds of years. Yet both the US Coast Guard and Lloyds of London state that no more ships or planes go missing here than off the Pacific coastline. Much of the story however, begins with Flight 19, aka the Lost Patrol when supposedly they disappeared suddenly into the infamous Bermuda Triangle. Flight 19 disappeared in December of 1945 but it wasn't into the Bermuda triangle and it wasn't sudden - it took five hours for each of the TMB avengers to drop out of the sky. The irony of Flight 19 is that none of the men died within the infamous Bermuda triangle. Three crash sites have been located and one aircraft has been raised from the sea.

When was the last time someone was killed in the Bermuda Triangle?

According to the Bermuda Police Service, "Bermuda had a per capita murder rate in 2009 more than five times that of London". Former Bermuda Government statistician Cordell Riley explained: "From a statistical point of view, our small size magnifies data when compared to other countries. For instance, we have more golf courses per square mile, more churches per square mile, etc. Therefore this has to be taken into consideration when making such comparisons." Those were the statistics for 2009, which may or may not reflect the current situation in Bermuda, or the other popular tourist destinations located in the 'Bermuda Triangle'. If you're interested in travel to these popular vacation spots, you will need to check the current crime information for the time period you plan to travel and the destination that you choose.
