It was, quote, a male voice that had asked Powers, which is one of the students, what his compass read.

And the recorded reply being, I don't know where we are.

We must have got lost after that last turn.

So this is really interesting because, again, we know that this is flight 19, meaning 18 other navigation problem one flights have gone out.

And there's another 20 that's about to go out.

This is so routine that they're quite literally all lining up on the runway one at a time.

Your turn, your turn, your turn.

But in preparing, he wasn't supposed to get this, but kind of in transmission, Lieutenant Cox overhears this.

And this is the first indication that not as all well on this training run with one of the students saying, I don't actually know where we are.

So we're a little bit lost.

Now, Lieutenant Cox responded to the radio signal.

This is FT-74, plane or boat calling.

Powers, please identify yourself so someone can help you.

And this is because he's hearing something and he wants to help.

Now, when Powers doesn't respond, Lieutenant Cox tried again.

But this time, Lieutenant Taylor, who is head of this Flight 19 mission...

said, quote, both my compasses are out.

I am over land, but it's broken.

I'm sure I'm in the Florida Keys, but I don't know how far down and I don't know how to get to Fort Lauderdale.

The whole point of this exercise is to get to Fort Lauderdale.
