Amelia Earhart found again.

Time for a new History Channel special.

He's 99% sure it's her. Of course, his theory is based on measurements of bones, which no longer exist.

This is not directed at you Fitz but enough already with Amelia Earhart. How many movies and documentaries have we already had about her? I've lost count.

And when you objectively look at it, she's not even a very important historical figure.

Don't they do this once a year?

The last series I watched about her a couple years back was just like every other freaking "discovery" type reality TV crap.

Oh, we have three weeks (just an example) to do some diving and exploring of uncharted islands...but the water is too rough or cloudy to dive...or, we damaged some equipment so we're SOL...

It's about like that Oak Island show that's been on for what seems like 10 years (because all it does is drags), and every year they get close to something...but something messes up...so wait for next season. Bleh.

There's other evidence too - some navigation equipment known to be carried by the navigator.

Sounds like she came to a miserable end

Yep. I think she and Noonan died on Gardner island and those bones were indeed hers.

" Amelia Earhart found again."

Can we stop losing her?

Earhart has turned into another "Al Capone's vault". I'm surprised Geraldo Rivera hasn't hosted an Amelia Earhart special yet.

At this point she has fewer secrets to reveal than Victoria...

Yeah...never watched that show but I remember it from "In Search Of" In Search Of - The Money Pit

I loved that show as a kid. About the only thing that was ever possibly "legit" from that show was the one about the Coral Castle. That one is still an interesting mystery.

I watched a couple episodes of Curse of Oak Island. Repitive them finding “ interesting” clues that wind up going nowhere. Got boring quickly.



I’ve been to Coral Castle. Pretty impressive building by one man.

I spent two weeks in Homestead FL at Homestead AFB...didn't visit the Coral Castle...and I'm kicking myself for it...lol.

I watch oak island on the DVR only, otherwise too much repetition. they just found a searcher shaft, waiting to see how that pans out.

they found a what ?

excavation made by previous treasure seekers (searchers)

Not important? She showed women at the time they could be more than just housewives or secretaries. That they could do things men can do in a men's world like flying airplanes, which were still a new thing.

You will be joyful to know Earhart been found again.

I’ll wait and see.

NFB must be the unofficial dead thread reviver.

Thanks NFB, let's wait for their next trip with camera now.

Not the kind post I normally make. But, just for fun

This was found relatively near to where her aircraft was said to be lost.

I will be very interested if/when her aircraft or some other evidence of her fate is definitively found.... until then I'm a skeptic.

She disappeared in 1937. Will any aircraft still be intact enough in salt water after so many years to still show as an outline of an aircraft on sonar?

Some of it will be. But less and less as time and corrosion do their work.

The article said words to the effect that:

At that depth, corrosion, paint damage and other factors that destroy crashed aircraft over time are very, very slow.

Thus, if they actually recover the craft or get cameras close and photograph it, they they believe they are likely to see its markings. Her aircraft had a very distinctive/unique marking on the wing.

They plan to try and get that close -- eventually. But, the article cautions that until they do, we just don't know anything for sure -- i.e. we can't even be sure its an aircraft.
