for the first time it's possible to drain this area to the seabed around
12:09
three miles down
12:13
draining reveals of fast featureless underwater zone known as the abyss Allah
12:19
Plane
12:22
it's like a gigantic underwater desert and easy to see why the aircraft have
12:28
never been recovered
12:32
but now 70 years later we may finally be close to finding the Martin mariner
12:37
rescue plane

Mike Barnett is a technical diver who specializes in hunting down lost
12:47
Aircraft
12:49
he spent years investigating the flight 19 incident and thinks he's got a pretty
12:54
good idea where the Mariner crashed i tried to recreate the flight path in my
13:01
mind with this aircraft might have gone and where it went down
13:05
starting off down here at Banana River Naval Air Station with aircraft launched
13:09
from it traveled north of the Cape Canaveral and then it hit off shore to
13:14
run it with the search area it was assigned
13:18
we know about a half hour after taking off there was an explosion cited
13:24
there's a freighter out there that recording an explosion midair with it
13:27
doesn't get on site they didn't find it to breed either the aircraft sunk or
13:32
portions of it were carried away by the Gulf Stream today
13:37
Mike and his team set out in search of the remains of the Lost aircraft
13:44
let's say we're going to investigate today it's about 230 feet of water
13:48
about 50 miles off the coast we think this is a potential suspect worthy of
13:52
investigation because it is in the general area
13:55
it's a little bit north of where we would expect it but with the influence
13:58
of the Gulf Stream it could have been carried north
