Congress has honored the 27 Navy airmen lost on Flight 19, a mission of five planes that vanished off Florida's coast on December 5, 1945. That mysterious disappearance first launched the Bermuda Triangle meme. From the Associated Press:
Rep. Clay Shaw (R-Fla.) said he hoped the gesture (of the House resolution) would help bring closure to surviving families.
What happened is the question that has befuddled, entertained and tormented both skeptics and believers in the Bermuda Triangle, a stretch of ocean between Puerto Rico, Bermuda and Miami that many believe is an area of supernatural phenomena.
"There's just so many weird things here that experienced pilots would have not acted this way," Shaw said. "Something happened out there."
