The planes were in good condition, they had the best equipment on board including compasses and radios, and they also carried life rafts. The planes could float on water for ninety seconds. One and a half hours after the take-off, a radio message from one of the planes was heard at the control tower at Fort Lauderdale.
"I don't know where we are."
After that the planes could no longer speak to the control tower, but they could speak to and hear each other, and the control tower could hear them.
"The magnetic compass is going crazy."
"We're completely lost."
No other messages were heard after that. Nobody else heard from the planes or saw them again. Three hundred planes and many boats searched the area, but not one trace of Flight 19 was found. Then one of the planes that was sent to look for them also disappeared completely.
