As such, you have heard about many incidents that are considered to be very astonishing and mysterious, whether it is about the disappearance of ships or stories about mysterious planes disappearing in the Bermuda Triangle. Today in this article we will discuss about such airplanes whose mystery behind their disappearances remains a puzzle even today.
Flying Tiger Line Flight 739
On March 16, 1962, Flying Tiger Line Flight 739, a Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation chartered by the United States military, left Guam en route to Clark Air Base in the Philippines. This plane had a whole batch of soldiers, carrying more than 90 soldiers who were flying to the Philippines, but surprisingly the aircraft did not reach its destination. Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft disappeared from the radar, even the two pilots did not report any message on the radio. Researchers believe that this plane may have vanished somewhere over the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Many agencies and big companies were engaged in searching for this military aircraft, comprising 1,300 people, 48 aircraft, and eight surface vessels, all of which covered roughly 144,000 square miles but still, no clue of this aircraft was ever found.
2003 Angola 727 disappearance
A Boeing 727 aircraft was one of the most advanced aircraft of its kind that went missing from the international airport in Luanda, Angola on 25 May 2003. Shortly after its disappearance, the teams of the US-based Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) started investigating it, but no trace of this plane was found. During the incident, two men were aboard the plane, one of them was American pilot and flight engineer Ben Charles Padilla. But how this aircraft went suddenly missing no one knows anything about this, even today the scientific team and investigative team have not been able to solve the mystery behind the disappearance of this aircraft.
Amelia Earhart Disappearance Mystery
It is the most famous of all the incidents of accidents or disappearances of aircraft in aviation history. Amelia was a female pilot whose private plane went missing in the year 1937, on July 2. Amelia had a dream since childhood that she could be able to travel the whole world with her plane and that is why she became the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Before disappearing, Amelia's plane was flying over the Pacific Ocean with colleague Fred Nunan for a world tour and then suddenly vanished. But even after much research, investigators failed to locate this twin-engine airplane. Two years after this incident, Amelia was declared dead and her plane is still being searched. Several documentaries based on this incident have also been shown on the History TV channel. The disappearance of Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan is still one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of all time.
Five Torpedo Bombers (1945)
It was December 5, 1945, when five American torpedo bombers fighter planes left from an airbase in Florida for routine training. These bombers were the most powerful fighter planes of that time. Shortly after the planes flew in the air, the one pilot spoke to the control room and said that the day is looking a bit different today and the sea is also in a different mode. Shortly after saying that the radio was no longer sounding. The place where these five aircraft were flying was the Bermuda Triangle (Bruce Gernon's electronic fog and time warp experience), but within four hours of taking off, those five planes disappeared into the sea. A search and rescue plane of the US Navy flew through the Florida airbase at the right time to locate those disappeared planes. But 20 minutes after takeoff, that rescue aircraft also disappeared. In search of these missing planes, a large number of airplanes were rushed towards that location, and even after a long search, there was no detection of these planes.
Malaysian Flight MH370
One of the biggest plane mysteries in history was the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. On 8 March 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing at night 12:41 MYT (Malaysian Standard Time or Malaysian Time). The aircraft carried 227 passengers and 12 crew members with a total Occupants 239 from 14 countries. Within one hour of flight takeoff at 01.19 MYT, the aircraft lost contact with air traffic control and disappeared from the radar screens. Numerous search operations were undertaken to find the aircraft, costing hundreds of millions of dollars, making it the most expensive search in aviation history with 26 countries contributing ships, submarines, planes, and satellites to the international effort. But even after spending a lot of money, there was no specific information found. In June 2015, only a few pieces of debris were found in different locations in Madagascar which is likely to be from the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and nothing found more than that. Investigators do not even know where the plane crash actually occurred.
