In March 2022, a dive team began searching Florida's coastal waters for a lost rescue plane from the World War II era. The crew was filming a History Channel series about the Bermuda Triangle when they discovered something unexpected: debris that, as NASA later confirmed, actually sat well outside the area popularly associated with that name, a large, man-made object, partially buried in sand on the sea floor, according to a NASA statement. It didn't look like wreckage from the 1940s; instead, it seemed a lot more modern. That one detail ultimately linked a routine dive to one of the most painful days in American space history.
