Piece of metal may solve mystery of Amelia Earhart's disappearance

as an aviator and aviation history buff, this is exciting as hell

That'd be absolutely nuts if they actually found a piece of the thing after all these years.

I watched a show about it a while back. While I don't remember all the exact details of the various theories, i remember being very interested in it. all the evidence they presented for the theories, seemed reasonable. amazing it's been this long and we're still not clear.

Wait so they've had this piece of metal since 1991 but only now have been able to link it to Earhart?

This seems to happen every few years or so.

This.

Anyway, im pretty sure she flew through the Bermuda Triangle and was abducted by aliens and subsequently fed to the Lochness Monster.

Why is this so hard for people to understand?

Because there's no way sasquatch would have allowed it to happen.

You forgot after being boned by everyone on the space ship

So she & her copilot lived on a deserted island for the rest of their lives? interesting

FYP

As neither of those things, it's exciting as hell for me, as well!

I hate to bring this up, but I would think the copilot would have finally resorted to eating Amelia and survived for quite a while.


Then, after he got tired of doing that, he could have built a huge fire and roasted her, then dined on her for quite a while after that!

Was probably pissed he couldn't get his hands on some fava beans

based on her looks, i wouldn't be surprised if he found "her" "Fava Beans"

She found out she was from Atchison and killed herself

Oh I would've too. Sooner or later.

You don't say? Let me call a buddy of mine. He should be able to tell you all about this piece of metal.

best I can go is $500.

He specializes in pieces of metal.

Look how long it took to find the Titanic. The Ocean is a big place.

They should make a movie about it. Include a plot where she took a soccer ball with her and she marks a face on it and gives it a name for companionship. Maybe even create some fiction, like she comes back to a lover who has found and is living with another man now.

That puts a different twist on the Wilson scene

The sad thing is that if they did die there, it was just roughly a year or so before the island was visited by a ship from some western nation's navy. (I forget which)

There was a movie about Amelia several years back. I saw it. I really enjoyed it but it wasn't a hit by any means. Kinda came and went. After I saw it I used her portrait for my avy here for awhile.

A piece? We don't want a piece.

We want the whole thing.

For a thousand dollars, I'll bring you the head, the tail, the whole damn thing

Link?

Looks like NOLA is about to get the shit kicked out of it again.

Excellent.

Also, huge if true.

MH370

No the patch thing was actually on Noahs ark and he picked her up. Thats why people keep finding both of them every 2-3 years.

So we can find a small piece of metal in the ocean yet a massive Malaysian airlines plane is still missing..?

I agree- they seem to be getting closer. Always figured she landed the plane.

It was the japs.

They thought they'd nailed Jack the Ripper, too.

I'm glad boxxy is back

If only she had stayed in the kitchen

#6. Amelia Earhart

The disappearance of Amelia Earhart is probably the most well-known mystery in the world that doesn't involve Tom Hanks looking for clues in old paintings. In 1936, Earhart planned to reserve herself a page in the record books by flying around the world; a 29,000-mile journey. On the last 7,000-mile leg of her second attempt in 1937, she disappeared after giving her last radio transmission. The transmission was not anything helpful like, "I'm going to try to just fly through this mountain. I saw it in a cartoon once."

More has been speculated about her disappearance than has probably been written about her life. One of the more epic theories is that Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, went down over part of the Japanese Empire and were captured, interrogated as spies and executed. Some assert that she was actually a spy for President Roosevelt, and that she secretly lived to the end of her days in New Jersey. Still others, with less imagination, think that she deliberately flew her plane into the Pacific because **** it.


Maybe her gigantic head popped at high altitude.

The Answer:

Remarkably, we've pretty much had the Earhart mystery solved ever since partial remains were found on an island... in 1940. That's right, 70 years ago. Only four years after she vanished.

To be fair, half of the bones were carried away by giant crabs, and the rest have since been lost because nobody thought it was important or even curious that a skeleton should turn up on an island just southeast of where Amelia freaking Earhart was going. Neither did it strike a chord that the remains turned out to be those of a white woman with Earhart's measurements, or that they were found alongside a pocket knife, a broken cosmetics jar, a piece of glass from an airplane windshield and the same exact type of navigational system Earhart had been using. It's inconclusive, dammit!


The truth is out there. And we won't rest until we find it, or we get too drunk to remember how to spell "Eaerhurt."

Even though all of this evidence is circumstantial, it's a freaking slam-dunk compared to what we have been forced to swallow from conspiracy theorists, who rank Earhart's disappearance right up there with the mystery of the Mary Celeste.

and this is from a comedy sight that has more facts than nay talk radio host

women drivers :shake:

I just don't get the interest in this at all.

Good Stuff !!

I don't really share it, but I get it.

I thought she was taken captive by the aboriginals. Ehh, maybe that was Toby Gerhart I was thinking about.

This. Although it seems unlikely it would be even remotely in tact after this long.

The time is getting short to be able to save her. She's 117 years old.
