It’s no secret that the infamous Bermuda
Triangle is one of the world’s greatest mysteries. For those of you who want to avoid the triangle
at all costs, it’s located in the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Florida. More ships and planes have disappeared here
than anywhere else in the world and that’s why the Bermuda Triangle is also known as
the Devil’s Triangle. Because of these strange disappearances, people
have linked the Bermuda Triangle to paranormal activity or aliens but most investigators
blame all of the disappearances on bad weather and human error. So which one is truly at fault? Well let’s explore some of the most notable
disappearances. How’s it going YouTube? I’m your host Landon Do Not Wanna Get Lost. And welcome back to another most amazing video. Before we get started I want to let you guys
know that we are doing a ton of collaboration videos so you’ll wanna stay tuned for those. Alright without any more delays, let’s get
right to business. This is the top 10 Scary Times Airplanes went
missing in the bermuda triangle. Douglas DC-3 scary disappearance brings us
to number 10. It is said that the DC-3 is one of the most
reliable aircrafts to have ever been designed and built. You will see a lot of these airplanes flying
in Florida, The Carribean and Bahamas because its main job is for island hopping. But on December 28, 1948, a DC-3 aircraft
took off from San Juan airport and was headed to Miami. It was only 50 miles from the south of Florida
but the plane was never seen or heard from again. It disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle with
28 passengers and 3 crew members on board. This was the first time that a DC-3 aircraft
disappeared but many others have disappeared since and they all went missing just 50 miles
from the Florida Keys. I wouldn’t call that a coincidence. I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t
think I’ll be booking a flight that even has the smallest chance of flying over the
Bermuda Triangle. I mean it's 2019 people, can’t we come up
with an alternate flight path? Obviously the Bermuda Triangle is one of life’s
greatest mysteries and I don’t think we should be going anywhere near it. Unless your life goal is to disappear without
a trace then go for it. Flight 441 comes flying onto this list in
at number 9. This aircraft took off with 42 passengers
on board as they made their way from the NAS Pax River Naval Station to Lajes (LAY JES)
in the Azores Islands. All contact with the plane was lost when they
were about 400 miles from the coast. Flight 441 never arrived at its destination
and it disappeared without a trace. Because of this, the disappearance of Flight
441 was one of the most investigated instances of all time. They looked into the weather conditions that
day and the pilot’s abilities. The weather was pretty typical that day. There wasn’t any icing but there were scattered
thunderstorms and minor turbulence. The plane was equipped with more than enough
flotation devices that should have survived but again, nothing was ever found. Up next in at number 8 we have a very unusual
disappearance. Lets travel back to November 3, 1978 when
a pilot left St.Croix and was headed towards St.Thomas to pick up passengers. This experienced pilot went on this fight
by himself and he has done it a bunch of times. Apparently the visibility was good and temperatures
were nice and warm. Some would say that he had the perfect flying
conditions. But during the flight, the control tower advised
him that he was headed for a small shower so he should alter his route a bit. He made the adjustments and as he was getting
close to the St.Thomas airport, the plane was cleared for landing and the control tower
saw the red and green lights blinking from the plane. But soon after, another plane took off and
the controller couldn’t see the lights from the original plane. It had disappeared from the radar and an emergency
search effort was put into place but nothing was ever found. Keep in mind that this plane was literally
only one mile from landing. That is absolutely horrifying. The disappearance of a small plane takes us to number 7. This is probably one of the most recent cases
of a plane disappearing from the Bermuda Triangle. In May 2017, this flight was carrying two
adults and two children and it was scheduled to fly from Puerto Rico to central Florida
but it never arrived. Miami Air Traffic Control lost radar and radio
contact with the airplane just three hours into the flight. Rescue crews searched more than 8,200 square
miles in over 30 hours but the plane just seemed to vanish out of thin air. All four of them most likely lost their lives
but because of this mysterious disappearance, so many people are coming up with their own
theories about what really happened. Some say that
aliens are controlling the Bermuda Triangle and they can cause ships and planes to crash. And others believe that there is a utopian
society located in the Bermuda Triangle and people who find it, never want to leave. Star Tiger comes flying onto this list in
at number 6. Back on January 30, 1948, a plane was scheduled
to fly from England to Bermuda but it suddenly vanished without a trace. They were supposed to arrive by 5:00am the
following day but the pilot and 31 other people on the plane were never heard from again. In the official report, investigators claim
that the heater on the plane was unreliable and it might have failed en route. So in order to keep the temperature inside
of the cabin warm, the pilot might’ve chosen to fly at a lower altitude which would’ve
burned his fuel a lot faster. And if he was flying low, that wouldn’t
give him a lot of time to react if he ran into some trouble. It’s been 71 years since this plane disappeared
and it still remains a mystery. Star Ariel comes onto our list in at number
5. This aircraft is very similar to the Star
Tiger. It left from Bermuda on January 17, 1949 with
seven crew members and 13 passengers. It was en route to Jamaica but no one ever
predicted that they would become another casualty of the Bermuda Triangle. Apparently the pilot reported that they flight
was going smoothly but shortly afterwards, the captain said that he was changing his
frequency and he was never heard from again. A search and rescue team was sent out to look
for them but nothing was ever found. After this aircraft disappeared, British South
American Airways stopped the production on the Tudor IV planes because they clearly have
a bad track record of mysteriously disappearing over the Bermuda Triangle. Here’s a crazy idea, instead of stopping
the manufacturing of these planes, how about you don’t fly into a place that eats planes
whole? I think that would be a safer bet. Number 4, we have the mysterious disappearance
of a Trislander. A small 3-engine aircraft was set to depart
from Santiago to New York On December 15, 2008 and it was carrying 12 passengers on
board. But the unthinkable happened just 35 minutes
after the plane took off. It disappeared from all radars and no one
was able to track down its location. The US Coast Guard initiated a massive search
and rescue mission but the plane was never found. There wasn’t even a trace of the plane or
even a small piece of wreckage. It’s last known location was 4 miles west
of West Caicos (KAY COS) Island. But sadly, we will probably never know what
happened to those 12 people on board and their disappearance will remain a mystery forever. Maybe aliens had something to do with it… Moving on to number 3 C-54 Skymaster. The C54 took off from Bermuda on July 3, 1947
and it was intercepted by a massive thunderstorm. A lot of investigators and researchers blame
the storm for the planes disappearance, but there is a lot more to the story. The real question is, why did this plane head
straight for the eye of the storm, when it could have easily avoided it? The C54 was a military aircraft that was capable
of carrying 85 passengers. On the day of the flight, there were 5 crew
members and a very skilled pilot. Soon after it took off from Bermuda, the plane
started to go off course but the pilot and the navigator on board weren’t aware of
this. As a result, it was headed straight for the
storm. It headed in this direction for a long time
until the ground radio operator heard a chilling SOS distress call but ignored it. Some debris was found but they quickly blamed
the storm for crashing the plane. I don’t know, it sounds like something fishy
was going on here...but I guess we will never know what truly went down that day. Flight 201 makes an appearance on this list
in at number 2. The aircraft left Fort Lauderdale on March
31, 1984 and it was supposed to land on Bimini Island in the Bahamas but it never made it. Despite the heavily experienced crew and pilot,
something terrible went wrong. Half way into the flight, the plane slowed
down significantly but no radio signals were sent and no distress calls were made. Suddenly, the plane crashed into the water
and it completely vanished from the radar. But interestingly enough, a woman on Bimini
island reported seeing a plane crash into the water about a mile from the shore but
no wreckage was ever found. How is this even possible? There wasn’t even the smallest trace of
the plane left behind. That just gives me the chills. And finally, topping our list at number 1,
we have the disappearance of Flight 19. On December 5,1945, five US Navy Bombers took
off from Fort Lauderdale for a routine training exercise but they had no idea that they wouldn’t
make it back alive. The first leg of the exercise went according
to plan but shortly afterwards, something strange started to happen. The only experienced pilot on the plane radioed
to the base saying that both of his compasses are out and he’s trying to find Fort Lauderdale. He was sure that he was in the Florida keys
but he didn’t know how far down he was. Take a look at this picture. The yellow part is the flight path that they
should’ve taken, the purple path is where the pilot thought he was and the red shows
you where they actually flew. They are nowhere near each other. They believe that the pilot became extremely
disoriented and one of the trainees said that if we would just fly west, we would get home. As it turns out, he was right but because
the experienced pilot was stubborn, they became another victim of the infamous Bermuda Triangle. Oh and the rescue plane that went to go find
them also disappeared just 20 minutes after take off. Well there you guys have it…
