  • Their disappearance came about when the Monk's TARDIS crash-landed in the Bermuda Triangle, severely damaged by the Titanic. The Seventh Doctor rescued him before the Monk's TARDIS exploded, consuming Flight 19. (COMIC: Follow That TARDIS!)
  • Flight 19 was the designation of five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945 during a United States Navy overwater navigation training flight from Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida. All 14 airmen on the flight were lost, as were all 13 crew members of a PBM Mariner flying boat assumed by professional investigators to have exploded in mid-air while searching for the flight. Navy investigators could not determine the cause of the loss of Flight 19 but said the aircraft may have become disoriented and ditched in rough seas after running out of fuel.
