Why Bermuda? Why can't the plane fly over?
According to British media reports, in the late 1940s, there were two most mysterious plane disappearances in Bermuda's Devil's Triangle. Sixty years later, entrusted by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), journalist Mangel De launched a new investigation into these two mysterious disappearances. His investigation provided some specious explanations for the disappearance of the passenger plane. According to his investigation, one of the aircraft may have catastrophic technical failure due to design defects, and the other aircraft may eventually lead to tragedy due to fuel exhaustion. Sixty years ago, British South American Airlines (BSAA) operated this route, and its safety flight record was a mess. In just three years, this airline's passenger plane had 1 1 serious accidents, * * * lost five passenger planes, and 73 passengers and 22 crew members were killed in the accidents. 1948 65438+1On October 30th, the company's Avro tudor IV passenger plane disappeared without a trace in Bermuda's Devil's Triangle. The reporter's investigation found that the heater of this plane has always been known for its unreliability and often breaks down during the flight. In addition, one of the compasses is also defective. What may have happened at that time was that in order to keep the temperature of the plane, the pilot decided to fly the whole transatlantic flight at low altitude, and the height of the plane was only 2000 feet, which led to the acceleration of fuel combustion. When approaching Bermuda, "Xinghu" slightly deviated from the course, one hour later than the scheduled time. According to the report of the Civil Aviation Administration, the headwinds encountered by Xinghu may far exceed the forecast in intensity, resulting in faster fuel consumption.
