Inside the mysterious “triangle in Nevada” where planes disappear never again – Daily Mail

Most of us have heard of the Bermuda Triangle in the North Atlantic, where it is said that ships, planes and humans have disappeared mysteriously.

But less familiar is a similar phenomenon in Nevada.

The triangle in Nevada is an area of ​​25,000 square miles in a triangular border between Las Vegas and Renault, Nevada and Freen in California.

Experts claim that in the last 50 years, about 2000 aircraft have disappeared into the triangle, Many are forever lost in the remote, mountain and often inaccessible landscape.

While highly trained aviators are often found, others are not.

Although the reasons that remain, why remain a mystery, Marty Beville, president and owner of Fresno Flight Training in Madera, believes that Sierra Nevada’s mountain terrain plays a major role.

“When you take airport planes with a higher elevation, you lose power in the thinner air, you lose the lifting of the wing due to the larger air, you lose the ability to accelerate. You lose a lot of things in a higher elevation, “Beville told Fox26.

Two remarkable disappearance, decades from each other, are particularly puzzling for aviation experts.

The Nevada Triangle extends from Las Vegas, Freen, California and Renault. The area of ​​25,000 square miles claimed planes and human lives

In 1943, the B-24 bomber plane flew into the sky near the triangle, but never returned it. Later found in 1960 after another deadly crash (pictured: a workshop in the park pulls some of the water)

In 1943, the B-24 bomber flew into the sky over the triangle, but never returned it.

Lucky Lee left for the flight on December 5, piloted by the 2nd lieutenant Willis Turis and piloted by the 2nd lieutenant Robert M. Hester.

The plane also wore four crew members, 2nd Lieutenant William Thomas Cronin, 2nd Lieutenant Ellis H. Fish, Sergeant Robert Burcy and Sergeant Howard A. Wandtke.

Cronin was the navigator, the fish was the bombing, the bursy, the engineer, and the wontke was the radio operator.

The crew went to a routine night workout, which would take them on a short flight to 111 miles between Hammer Field to Freen, to Bakersfield, Tuson, Arizona and back.

But at the first game of the flight, the World War II bomber disappeared, igniting a rescue mission involving nine other B-24 bombing planes.

But in the morning after the start of the rescue mission, one of the planes involved in demand also disappeared. The B-24 was piloted by the squadron commander Captain William Darden and had a seven-board crew on board.

When the plane came across problems, the pilot and the radio operator chose to jump to what looked like snow and ice covering the clearing below.

The other six remained on board.

The plane and crew were not found until 1955, when the plane was found at the bottom of the Huntington Lake tank when it was east to repair a dam.

A later investigation revealed that the plane may have lost control of high winds.

The two crew, which managed to parachutes from the plane, said the pilot was wrong about the frozen lake.

Darden dies with the 2nd Lieutenant Samuel J. Swell, SGT. Erwin Mayo, S/SGT. Franklin C. Nyswonger, SGT. Richard L. Spangel and SGT. Donald C. Vande Plasch.

The two survivors, George Barulic and the 2nd Lieutenant Marion K. Seth, described in the freezing details of what happened to the California Foundation for landmark in 2008.

“When I jumped, I hit my back under the plane,” Baru said, then 86 said.

“I pulled the torn cord and couldn’t be more than a few hundred feet from the ground.”

He landed at the end of the water and soon found a settlement. Both were left without injury, although the plane fell into the lake.

“I looked and saw the oxygen tank float,” Barulik recalls.

The plane was eventually found 190 feet underwater, with the other five crew still in their stations.

Although attempts have been made to extract the aircraft from the water, not all can be saved.

Several engines and other small parts were removed.

“I think I have to be alone,” Barulik said of the plane.

Since then, the remains that have been restored have been buried at the Arlington National Cemetery.

Although the second plane is discovered, Lucky Lee’s location remains a mystery.

Pilot’s father Robert Hester began his own Private search to try to find it. The grieving father eventually died of a heart attack in 1959 without finding the plane.

Steve Fotset lost his life in a tragic plane crash after leaving on September 3, 2007 in his two -seater two -seater plane

In the bitter turn of fate, the original B-24 was found just a year later in 1960, about 100 miles from the site of Darden’s plane crash.

In another shocking airplane crash that suspects that it appears in the Nevada Triangle, famous aviator Steve Fotet lost his life.

Fawcett, the first person to fly alone in a continuous journey around the world in a hot air balloon suddenly disappeared after flying away from the M Ranch Flying Airport in Lyon County on September 3, 2007.

The search and rescue mission was launched six hours later, after no one was heard from it after leaving in his two-seater two-seater plane.

After about a month of trying to find a Tennes -born entrepreneur, he was declared dead.

Although they did not find it, the search crews have found several other crashed planes in the area, numerous retail outlets reports.

A year after he concluded that Fotet had died, a large clue arose when a tourist discovered his ID, scattered in the Eastern Mountain Sierra Nevada in California – about 65 miles from his place to take off.

Part of his plane and some of his remains were found weeks later. By November 3, they were confirmed that these bones belonged to Fotet.

Officials believe the other remains may have been abducted by wild animals in the area.

He was killed in the influence of the crash, according to former sheriff of Madera County John Anderson.

With all the tragedies around the triangle in Nevada, it is not yet definitely defined how or why planes lose control in the area.

While Bevil predicts that about 2000 aircraft disappeared into the triangle, Paul Hamilton, a Pilot based in Carson City, and Dan Bub, a professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) believe this number is probably inaccurate.

“Two thousand catastrophes look terribly tall to me; This is a difficult number to know, “Bubb told Las Vegas Review-Journal.
