The timeline of events leading up to the disappearance of Flight
19 suggest, as with so many tragedies, that it was not just one
mistake responsible for the ultimate loss of 27 airmen, but a
series of minor miscommunications and faltering. This is
perhaps due to the ordinary and routine nature of the training
mission, one that was not far from home base and one that wasn't
supposed to go so wrong. But how could a seasoned flight
instructor with combat experience and around 2500 hours of flying
time to his credit become so disoriented, especially one who was
familiar with the region? Why couldn't a simple
navigational error be corrected amongst the 5 pilots and
crewmen? Was there a general feeling of overconfidence in
eventually correcting their course, or was there some unknown
environmental force acting upon them, one that is suspected of
the area? We'll never know the answers to these questions,
but what seems to be their most likely fate is that they finally
ran out of fuel and ditched into the ocean. However, we've
discovered that the results of an imaging technique may provide a
clue that this flight has a much more mysterious resting place
than we can understand.
