And you're used to trying to make some sort of adjustment.

And then all of a sudden, the adjustment's not working, right?

Like you're trying to make the proper adjustment and you're not seeing things work out.

And that might make you think, oh, there's some sort of weird thing wrong with my compasses here in this place.

So these are the kind of things that, if you don't know about them, could make the Bermuda Triangle a little bit more interesting.

And we're going to talk later on about whether or not the Bermuda Triangle works.

Is a real thing other than in the memories of 80s children.

But there are some interesting things about it, and I think that's neat.

OK, that's enough build up.

Let's talk about the timeline.

So we're going back to December 5th.

1945, December 5th is my mom's birthday, not in 1945, but so happy birthday, mom.

She listens to some of these, so maybe she'll listen to this one.

So on that day, that auspicious day, a couple of years later, at 2.10 PM, Flight 19 successfully took off from Naval Air Station, NAS, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

It was scheduled to depart at 1.45, but Lieutenant Taylor was a few minutes late.

Now, let's just go ahead and talk about this because we're one time thingy in, but something's happened.

Lieutenant Taylor, who was the commander of this flight, is late.

Now, as we said, this is a pretty laid back thing.

Not a big deal, but already not the military precision that maybe you expect.

Later on, we're going to talk about the possibility that Lieutenant Taylor didn't want to be on this flight.
