“Both my compasses are out and I’m trying to find Ft. Lauderdale, Florida,” Taylor said, his voice sounding anxious(Andrews 2). The compass might have been out of reach of Ft. Lauderdale(Andrews 5). The compasses were most likely made of metal shards that attracted to something, so that is something else that could be a result for the missing planes.Flight 19's location was last given as 75 miles northeast of Cocoa, Florida. Cocoa, Florida is the east of Orlando. The weather was getting pretty rough; the seas and the wind were both running high, and there was rain. The compasses went out in just 2 hours in the practice run due to a thunderstorm over the Bahamas. "We cannot be sure where we are," the flight leader announced, "repeat, cannot see land"(Flightglobal 10). Even though the clouds were acting weird the water was too. The water wasn’t blue, but it was like a white color.
