Interesting story. I suspect that thinking the last sight of land was in the Keys, Taylor thought he was somewhere over Florida Bay/Gulf of Mexico and headed NNE thinking he would encounter the Everglades. The sad reality is that the last island they passed over was in the Bahamas and by going NNE, the flight went way out into the Atlantic. By the time Taylor decided to head West, they didn’t have fuel to make land and went down somewhere between the Sargasso Sea and land..
Have always been a little less than impressed with the amazing-disappearing aircraft over the xpanse of huge ocean bodies. I mean, c’mon. Horrible tragedy, but not unexpected. The “Bermuda Triangle” just happens to also be one of the most traveled airways around.
Now, if there was some strange disappearance of say, locomotives on a stretch of BN track in Montana, then we could talk..
Ran out of gas. Bummer.
