I just thought about it. Plzz do disscuss and it also telecast in History channel as well.
On 5 December 1945, disaster was about to strike the personnel of Fort
Lauderdale in Florida. That afternoon five torpedo-bombers took off on
a routine training flight. Soon, things began to go wrong. The flight
leader reported equipment malfunctions, gyro-compasses went crazy, and
he lost his horizon. Finally, he reported that he was lost. This
happened just off the Florida coast and, as the day progressed, the
weather worsened rapidly. Two hours later, the aircraft disappeared and
were never seen again. No bodies were found and no wreckage spotted.
In isolation, the tragedy was not unprecedented. Disorientation is easy to achieve over water and, if lost, it is easy to fly until your fuel runs out, simply falling from the sky. The lack of evidence of a crash was unusual but, again, it has happened before. But what do we make of a sixth plane - part of the search and rescue operation - blowing up less than half an hour after take-off, with total loss of life?
SOME QUESTIONS
1) When was the disaster about to strike personnel of Fort Lauderdale ??
2) Where was the Fort Lauderdale situated ??
3) How many planes dissappeared ?
4) WHat is Disorientation ??
5) How was the weather ???
6) Do you want to add ssome thing ???
