On December 5th, 1945, five U.S. Navy torped-bombers leave Florida on a three-hour training mission in what was to become known as the Bermuda Triangle. They never return.
After reporting that both compasses had failed, the leader of the squadron is dismayed that the other aircrafts were also experiencing similar problems. With their positions unknown, radio facilities on land tried to find the 'lost' squandron and lead them to land... But they failed. A rescue plane was sent to locate the planes, but it too never returned.
Later, ships and more planes went in search of the lost planes. However, nothing was found.
Mechanical failures? Ran out of gas? A combination of the two factors? Something else? No one knows for sure, but the fact that no remains were ever found of the crews or aircrafts helped to thrust the Bermuda Triangle into the spotlight of American folklore.
As we remember this day, let's not forget that our plans may not turn out the way we expect or plan. Certainly, none of the doomed men expected their training mission to turn into disaster. But, it did, nonetheless. And, with that in mind, let us not forget to place God first in our lives. To keep our eyes fixed on him and not be surprised of unforeseen circumstances on the horizon. Yes, being Christian will not prevent us from experiencing this world's twists and turns, but the outcome of those who place their faith in God is already certain... Eternity with the Father. |
