On December 5, 1945, five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers took off from Fort Lauderdale for a three-hour exercise called “Navigation Problem Number One,” and the hop went as smoothly as the previous 18 that day. The leader, Lt. Charles Taylor, was an experienced aviator with around 2,500 hours and a Pacific combat tour behind him. Then they got lost. The flight became hopelessly disoriented and its radio transmissions grew fainter as it drifted out to sea. Ground stations could hear the radio chatter growing more anxious as the afternoon wore on. The National Archives account adds the detail that gives me chills: the sun set, the weather deteriorated, and the flight was still lost, now critically low on fuel. A Martin PBM Mariner flying boat was sent to search, and it radioed once and was never seen again, with all 13 aboard
6 Aircraft, 27 men, all disappeared on one stormy night. And this is before the term "The Bermuda Triangle" was ever coined.
Listen to the story of this haunting mystery, written using information from the National Archives. On The Red Eye.

When the cabin crew go all out whilst on a layover in a luxury hotel in the Caribbean, the hotels guests get so angry with their bad behaviour that they report them to the airline. But the consequences of that may just affect everyone when the airline is forced to cancel the flight altogether, leaving everyone stranded.
Based on a true story, this episode has put a fictional twist on this story that made the news.

Restraining dangerous passengers is something no cabin crew ever wants to deal with. Being trapped in an enclosed aircraft with someone who is threatening safety is scary.
Recently, a member of the flight crew had to be restrained after stabbing the captain with a crash axe and attempting to take control of the aircraft. That is a definite cause for restraint. But sometimes you have to think outside the box and look at the individual passenger causing trouble. Could it be something else causing the behaviour other than ill intent? A diabetic in need of sugar? Mental health issues? Or perhaps a drug abuse problem. In which case, is there a better way to stop the passenger causing injury to himself or others?
In this episode, we hear the true story of a flight crew who were about to restrain a passenger who looked like he was trying to access the flight deck, until one flight attendant noticed something that changed the way they treated him.
