Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare...
Papua New Guinea, a remote island in the vast Pacific, so impenetrable is this jungle island that only the most adventurous travel here. This untamed land holds many secrets, it plays host to the greatest aviation mystery of all time. In 1937, Amelia Mary Earhart took off from Papua New Guinea, then vanished without a trace. Now her true fate is finally emerging, armed with new technology, experts are going back to the Pacific to find the queen of the skies.
International travel has never been easier, thousands of aircraft girdle the globe, guided to their destinations by satellite navigation systems. Pick any place on Earth and it’s only a plane ride away, it would never occur to us that our pilot might get lost, but in the pioneering days of aviation when Amelia Earhart was flying, getting lost was an occupational hazard. When she opened up the air routes we fly today she did so with little more than a compass to guide her.
In 1932 flying across the States was big news, especially when the pilot was a woman. Amelia Earhart’s daring and charm made her a media celebrity, people hungered for every detail of this remarkable woman’s life. When she became the first woman to fly the Atlantic, New York City gave her a hero’s welcome. In an age when most people had never seen an aeroplane, flying across an ocean was like going to the moon.
In 1937, Amelia announced her most ambitious project, to fly around the world. The first two thirds of the flight were successful, a month after she left the US Amelia reached the Pacific island of Papua New Guinea, California was only three days away. But she never made it.
“In Search of Amelia Earhart”, is a documentary, from the “World of Mysteries” series.
I just listened again to the interview with Betty Klenck, the teenager in Florida that heard Amelia’s distress call. As a retired criminal investigator I am convinced she really did hear Amelia’s calls for help. She still had her notebook from 70+ years ago filled with contemporary notes, song lyrics and drawings with Amelia’s distress call right in the middle of it. There are too many details that she wrote down for it to be fake. She wrote “Howland”, “157”, and her descriptions of Amelia and Fred fighting over the microphone with Fred wanting out of the plane because it was too hot is just not something anybody would think to fake. In fact, two men did fake hearing her call and it was described as a sterile call for help with none of the drama that Betty described. Amelia simply had to have landed on an island somewhere and survived for a period, it’s more logical to assume that than to assumes Betty’s notes were faked. Occam’s Razor. The simplest solution is likely the answer. Running out of gas and plunging into the ocean was the simplest answer until I heard Betty’s story. I’m not saying it was Gardner Island but again Betty wrote down “sounds like New York City” and the wreck of the Norwich City is there. That is spooky. Betty heard Amelia crying and heard her last words. Now that she has passed, I wonder if Betty found out the truth.
Well said! Betty Klenck's transcript is incredibly compelling evidence that Earhart and Noonan landed at Nicomororo. My jaw dropped at the "New York City/Norwich City" part.
@@twinfairviews2893 She’s like a human cockpit voice recorder. At one point she said Fred’s voice wavered when he went to the back of the plane, and Amelia couldn’t see where he was. Then he was out of his mind fighting to get out because the plane was so hot, they wrestled over the microphone. Just too many emotional descriptions like those and that Amelia _was crying_ . All of her notes were in a notebook with contemporary evidence dating it to the correct time frame. It’s a shame Bob Ballard didn’t investigate it in the very first trip that Tighar took. I believe he might have found something but too many years and tropical storms have passed. I know I keep repeating myself, but I am impressed with Betty. I investigated fraud all over the world interviewing suspects and witnesses. I was a police Sgt. then went to work for a Fortune 50 company. People would make fraudulent claims about a product being defective and injuring them, it was my job to get to the truth. I know how a fake report would be composed and we actually have just such a fake report made by two guys who said they heard Amelia. Brief, to the point - _This is Amelia Earhart. We crashed on a deserted island. My navigator is hurt. Please help. Hurry!_
@KaLynne W what would you like to know? You should watch Betty’s video interview, it’s terrific.
@@robertansley6331 See, that last part, where the call he got was blunt and to the point just doesn’t sound right. Bettys sounds much more believable and it’s very likely it’s true. Details aren’t usually used, or at least not many, if someone is lying.
@@robertansley6331 where can I find the interview?
Nothing solved though an interesting documentary how can you say mystery solved without proof, complete waste of time once again regarding Amelia.
5 years after this vid and still no new findings
I just think it's funny how the started off by say that they know where the plane is FOR A FACT. But by the end of the show they speculate where the plane is..
2 companies spent several million dollars looking in the depths around Howland Island --
the end result was the same as 1937 when the Navy found absolutely wreckage let alone an oil slick!
They didn't find so much as a propeller blade from the plane because it NEVER sank near Howland Island!
I think the natives in the Marshall Islands and Saipan were telling the truth... she crashed hundreds of miles off-course. She had a LOT more fuel in that modified Electra than Elgen Long and the other "crash and sink" experts think.
The US Marines saw the Electra on Saipan in 1944... it was destroyed shortly after the occupation of the island by American forces to prevent certain truths being leaked to the public. It was an election year and it wouldn't look good if it appeared like an American president let one of his most famous supporters die in captivity when he knew all about her whereabouts. There's a decent case to be made that Earhart was spying on the Japanese Navy in 1937, trying to get evidence back to show they were building up fortifications on the islands and violating all kinds of treaties (which they did in fact).
Circumstantial evidence or not, there's a lot more people in Marshalls and Saipan saying she was there... They got a lot more to support them than the official storyline which the federal government doesn't have so much of a plane rivet's support for!
FYI, if people think crash and sink is a joke, TIGHAR's storyline is even sicker. It's a scam to get money from gullible who have too much money and don't know the story of Gardner Island better.... Earhart was never there and there's so much junk on that island from a half dozen different settlements that you can make it look like anything you want to people who don't know squat...
She's alive!!! It was her on the grassy knoll that killed JFK!!!! And she flew bigfoot to Roswell to meet elvis!!!!!!
+AvengerII I agree! I think they were captured by the Japanese and eventually shot as spies. They weren't necessarily spies but they were suspected and that was enough for the Japanese soldiers.
+Krisna Reece No one really knows what happened to her after the Japanese got her... There's two schools of thought there.
1) The simplest conclusion is that she died in captivity from disease or the Japanese eventually executed her (and Noonan) prior to the US forces landing on Saipan in 1944. Oh, by the way, the Saipan operation was the Pacific equivalent of D-Day!
The fact of the matter is that there is only hearsay about her fate. Unless someone comes up with identifiable DNA, an official post-loss report/secret document, all we've got is hearsay about her fate.
What happened to the Electra seems to be locked in. I've heard at least one story that they found a piece of the Electra some years back but it was never verified. There's another story that they DID find a hydraulic gauge or something to that effect on Saipan. Officially, nothing's been verified (as far as recovered wreckage/pieces) but it's almost certain that the plane was destroyed and buried on Saipan.
2) Earhart and Noonan were taken in by the Japanese but eventually repatriated to the States and assumed new identities. There's some circumstantial evidence for this... It's not that hard to find. A couple of books have been written about the possibility that she was returned to the US after WWII. There's some controversy over whether she applied for Japanese naturalization (she loved Japan but was no warmonger) prior to 1939 -- some documents suggest she did something that really teed off the FDR administration --, did some aeronautical consulting for Japanese manufacturers prior to WWII, and was possibly made to do some of the Tokyo Rose radio broadcasts.
It's really controversial stuff that paints her in a less-than-flattering light but people aren't looking at the entire picture here. She could have been duped, realized what was happening but was in a bad spot, and had no choice but to cooperate to a point. This storyline suggests she eventually ended up in a prisoner camp in China was she was liberated at the end of the War and taken back to the US under an assumed name: Irene Bolam.
As for Noonan? There's a lot less known about him, period... They have a hard time finding or DIDN'T find a birth certificate for him or his alleged post-loss alias, William Van Dusen. His story is even WEIRDER than Earhart's if you can believe that!
Yeah or probably smashed into a mountain in the storm
His voice is so awesome!
They calculated the distances from her radio signal, but what if they had it backwards? You get the Nikumaroro side.
What????
Interesting perception
Papua New Guinea - a remote island only 150km from Australia, pretty close to Indonesia, and regularly visited for the past two centuries. How remote can that be?
Ok, just to save wasting your time, they didn't find anything, just the usual guessing and maybe's.
Why does this guy Franco keep posting about hacking his GF Instagram? I see that post on a lot of things and no I’m not clicking the link because it’s clearly going to be something awful just curious why?
“ gas running low,,, we are on the line 157- 337 flying north and south “
Fred would not waste fuel flying in circles. That line flys directly over Gardner.
They took off with maximum fuel load for reserve of adverse head wind. Arrived at line southerly of Howland and cloud cover may have obscured horizon. Reception antenna below fuselage was damaged by main wheel kicked up stone on rough strip at Lae. Ship so heavy used all available runway.
At arrival over Itasca cloud cover. She was southerly of intended line.
She was low on fuel not out. Search on line for known chain by visual and minimal airspeed with now vastly lighter aircraft. Lean carburetor setting for maximum fuel conservation.
Remember the craft was a essentially a special adaptation for flying fuel tank with small space for Fred in tail. He could crawl over cells to access left seat however. Probably there to help visual at last moments. Radio may have been inadvertently made non transmitting in this leg of flight.
Tail wind from southern flight ( from Howland ) allowed remaining fuel to land at reef near Norwich City wreckage. Reef at low tide there is remarkable landing able. Radio was able to transmit ( from static position on reef) possibly by discovery of loose contact.
Low tide allowed for brief runs of right engine for power supply. High tide eventually takes craft out to sea. Fuel cells now exhausted provide as pontoon flotation for time enough to become hopelessly lost to history.
The best explanation I’ve heard so far
They obviously weren't as close as they thought because this was filmed in 2001/02 and 23 years later they are no closer to the discovery.
Was it necessary for that Dr. woman recreating that flight from NY to get the same haircut and wear the same outfit?
One day the wreckage of the plane will be found but sadly unless someone with lots of money and the determination to search a wide area we will have to keep wondering? RIP Amelia you will continue to be an unsolved mystery.🤔
The wreckage will never be found it was burnt in 1944 by US troops on Saipan Rooseveldt betrayed her.
LOL the "documentary" that claims to know where she crashed has no idea where she crashed. Almost like it's complete fing trash meant to fool you into thinking you're learning something.
@@johnsmith-mq4eq 🤪🤪🤪
I've had a close look at this incident & it is my humble opinion the plane is to the north north west of Howland Island, perhaps within 100km (60 miles). The plane is not to the south of Howland Island, as a lot of pundits suggest, & it certainly did not land on the exposed reef platform of Gardner Island everyone suggests it reached. That idea is preposterous! For 2 million US a dedicated search using Ocean Infinity technology would probably find it within 20 days (unless the whole thing has since been silted over)..
Within a 500 sq mile blob near Howland... wow you guys are clearly experts at the top of your field. Pretty sure the Itasca radio operator could have told you that in 1937
Morse code is so easy to learn. I can teach anyone in a few hours and to be fairly fluent with it in a day. Sad to think about how that one crucial thing could have saved their lives being into amateur radio and knowing how efficiently and effectively CW propagates through the air with very little radiated power.
Go on then.
cobrasvt347: It may be "easy" but not if you don't have a Morse-key with you (as explained in the video).
Amelia Earhart was a brave woman and did what she loved the most in life
She was great pilot if she just new when to get on ship call it quits
Actually, she was not a great pilot at all. She was a very mediocre pilot. She just wanted to be the first to do everything and not be the best. What’s really sad is she gets so much attention and a superior pilot, Jackie Cochran, never got the recognition. that’s what’s really sad is people don’t know much when it comes to aviation. I am an airline captain been flying for 38 years. At my airline for 28 years and I can tell you most pilots don’t think a whole lot of Amelia Earhart.
And?
Adam and Eve
I had a laugh when the narrator said Earhart had to "gun the engines" .Sounds like something bank robbers would yell at their wheelman in a gangster movie.
I'm not believing a word they say until they show me her plane on the bottom of the sea
waste of time dont watch it..they didnt find her..they just said she might be somewhere in the water,,
She is not in the water they found SOME of her remains near water. I know all this because I am nine and a half 😇😇😇😇😇😁😊
Lacie Coleman
they found only the plane parts not her body
ashwin padmakumar Is there a video on this you can suggest?
I doubt they'll ever find her honestly!!! And them saying they solved this mystery is the bs all the docs on her say.. Have you assholes found her!? NO.. Let her fucking rest ffs!!! 😒😑
If only the Aussie truckie called "Double K" was on the scene back then, he would of picked up her signal from his Kenworth on the Hume Hwy and guided her back down on his old AM set.....
nice imagine Kel.
I couldn't stand how the lady who made a bunch of excuses for Amelia. This was an unforeseen weather problem, which was always their largest risk! So, making excuses like she was tired, exhausted, blaming the plane, calling her navigator a drunk (which was disputed and he directed the correct search pattern). Nobody wants to hear excuses, especially when you blame someone who died with her. Why not just say they were brave for attempting a very high-risk exploration?
She didn't fly the atlantic -- the pilot Stulz did all the flying; even she herself said so.
Amelia flew across the Atlantic solo in 1932. Who did the flying then? :)
You know, they really should have done their homework. When she took off from Newfoundland, it was really Labrador. More time spent studying geography is required
I think Amelia Earhart died doing what she loved I admire her spirit courage bravery she was dynamic
Well, her trailing antenna, VITAL for HF communications broke off during the PNG departure. I know, as I spoke to Sid Marshall as a teenager, who was a veteran pilot operating in PNG at the time.
Sid also helps Earhart and Noonan .re-fuel. One thing that always puzzles me is WHY Fred Noonan went along with it. I thought they would have turned around and landed to fix it, but the axel weight was to high for the landing gear.
The weight of the Morse key and inflatable life raft would not have made a difference.
Someone should present the evidence that Noonan was a drunk. There is none. A lot of people enjoy a drink now and then, even have too much on occasion. That doesn’t make you a drunk, and he wasn’t fired by PanAm, he quit.
Don't forget that it was 1937 and navigation instruments had not been perfected. They could have caused problems just because os the weather or atmospheric pressure. Etc...
Well, they were using this thing called Dead Rendering, which Fred Noonan was an expert in, which is where you used a fixed location, a compass, a map, and an accurate clock to locate your position, so as long as you know your fixed position and you are absolutely sure of how much time has passed, you can be absolutely sure of your location, but if Noonan was drunk, or even still hung over, there's a chance that that, along with the celestial navigation, wasn't accurate.
Dead *Reckoning.
malangrad lets see u do it if before you call her a bitch she was the #1 female flyer in the world
What is your accomplishment?
malangrad gosh you are sooo lame. Your salty and as a computer tech ur pretty pathetic for calling down someone who jad a job x10 harder then yours
Your on here making fun of people who are long since dead and known by millions
Lol your nothing
malangrad you talk alot
One word: Croatoan. I'll leave you all with that.
Sir Walter Raleigh
What they should do is put the same power of radio in same location with same power and frequency, and fly a plane around, taking off from the island she was supposed to land and fly around to duplicate same outcome and search those locations
what a mystery......... she is on the bottem of the sea......... people always wanna make a story... she crashed and sunk... simple as that
yeah your right
No, it's not "as simple as that;" those numerous post-loss messages verify that the Electra was located somewhere on its own landing gear.
Robert Lichtenberger you’re both wrong
Bisyhefr you are almost certainly right. I dont know why people have to make up outlandish stories to try to explain something with a simple explanation
amelia earhart was terrible at finding where she needed to go. when crossing the Atlantic she was to land in Paris but ended up in the north of Ireland.if u do that in the Pacific u are never finding howland island.
paul mcgettigan she also only had a compass lets see u do it
I'm just saying if she was that bad at navigation she was never finding howland Island
paul mcgettigan she wasnt bad at navigation at all though, back then she was known as the best female pilot and even one of the best pilots in general
She dared to do things no one else could and says although she didnt survive means in no way was she bad at navigation? How much do you know about navigating the sky with a compass
Ill take it not much
Neither do i
Neither do 95% of the worlds population? So was she terrible at navigation
NOT AT ALL
was she at the wrong place at the wrong time
ABSOLUTLEY!!!
If she never had to go through a storm she would have made it
But infortunatley the storm and many other enviromental errors caused her to use as much power and speed as possible to compensate
Making more fuel burn to a point where eventually she lost the battle against the storm
Do you even realize how close she came to makin it to her destination
VERY VERY VERYY CLOSE
paul mcgettigan why she took a navagator with her.:)
Confucius wrote: Women who fly upside down are bound to have crack up.
How do the people who believe the Saipan theory explain Amelia's distress calls heard from the Pacific to Florida?
Twin Fairviews: They don't .....they just ignore the signals because it doesn't fit in with their theories. They also don't explain how she could have got to Saipan when she was near Howland and almost out of fuel during her last transmission.
Twin Fairviews Because they are anti Japanese bigots.
If she had been successful, would we hear very much about her at all today?
Best info summary available to date in this video but still no find
Being exhausted and having an alcoholic as your navigator is always bad.
i don't believe her husband was a alcoholic , when Amelia was a child her father was a alcoholic it was so bad she had to move in with her grandparents. ever since then she HATED alcohol
There's no evidence that Noonan possessed an alcohol problem; on the morning of the departure from Lae he appeared to be absolutely normal.
Weak ending.
Did they ever mount an expedition?
If so, they were apparently unsuccessful.
+MikeKye200 i agree a shitty ending and most likely ran out of money. you can be sure they could find the plane if they had a open check book.
16:31 "she bought a plane from Lockheed"
mystery solved, she bought a lemon plane from the lemon factory
moonmoonbirdcpt blackbird sr71
No Lockheeds were good planes on those days
If this guy is so good finding where other planes and ships went down, WHY haven't they found the plane that went down a few years ago. Ya hit or miss operation, try and try again, then say, we knew that it was there all along. Just waiting, sure.....
She's hanging with Elvis Presley and Jim Morrison.
Aliens. 100%
Darragh M nope, she was captured by Japanese and they made her a prisoner
its a shame that Amelia Earhart was never found. We found the Titanic and many other things under the sea, surely we could find her too. Their are people out there with the money to fund an expedition.
They knew where the Titanic was plus it's much larger
well this was published in year 2014.....did they find her or not????
Ok she may be amazing but buddy is insane for calling her beautiful. Far from
Jesse Belanger I don't think Amelia Earhart was ugly in the photos and video I've seen. I think she just was a plain Jane there was nothing really special looking about her. I don't think she was beautiful nor do I think she was ugly.
Sorry, her plane was found and burned on Saipan in July 1944 by the US Marines at Aslito Airfield.
Considering this is almost 10 years old they never were that close.
So we still don't know where the plane is!
excellent documentary
she flew to maui
Let her rest in peace
I am at a loss to understand all the vicious comments. What is it about Amelia Earhart that seems to attract the attention of the worst type of haters.
+rowbom I really don't know.
That is unnecessary to say that. How can you call making a solo flight across the Atlantic and then from Hawaii to mainland U.S.A. a failure. Most people could only hope to do what she did.
I don't hate her, I think she was kind of hot. But the whole escapade was a bad idea from the start. A bit ahead of technology for the day, obviously.
She was a successful woman. That's why.
The "Around the World" flight would have had a far greater chance of success had Amelia's ego not virtually predetermined its failure; she possessed no Morse ability, she chose to leave behind almost anything required for an emergency situation, and the entire Electra/US Coast Guard interface was ill-planned & unsuccessfully executed. In essence, Earhart assured both her own as well as Fred Noonan's death.
I already knew about her life and accomplishments and her mysterious disappearance, the reason i watched this one hour documentary was because i thought they finally found her plane wreckage or something.
This documentary surely gave me more information than i had, but it kept streching the same information for one hour..her disappearance is still mystery..
what about bermuda triangle ?
Another Earhart BS video...They don't have a clue.
Earhart said that women needed to take chances and grow. She did--the last flight is tragic, but she did what she loved, that's what matters. Had courage, natural charisma--and a great smile. She's an American original. Unforgettable.
and talent, of course
Excellent female pilots was hardly an unknown, even back then.
How about Hanna Reitsch for instance?
windstorm1000 true.
@WOKEN'T Ouch, she went throu AC like Kardashians do plastic surgerys. Not being interested in men she married for $. You don't accentuate the negative when promoting something. There was a lot of money to be gained or lost, rights to the story, a feather in Beeches hat, radio navigation was the newest and greatest feature in AC. and she was a hero to the womens movement. The majority of pilots that knew her firmly believed that she wasn't a good pilot. We love mysteries, putting clues together to form the solution to the puzzle. Throw in WWII and the possibility of her spying on the Japanese for America adds more intrigue. Pilotage and dead reckoning are extremely difficult over water because you have to make up check points, guesstimate the winds aloft, and come up with an answer. Just a guess in the middle of nowhere doesn't cut it. I think she she had an unexpected headwind, burned more fuel and surprise splash.
and lastly she was the brave
Im facinated with all this mystery im reading and seeing things I never thought possible from ghost ships to vanishing pilots im absolutely hooked im really enjoying this
It's good stuff, eh? I love bridge disasters too...
Nothing beats a good mystery....except solving one lol
The aircraft depicted at 9:45, Avro Avian IV airworthy at the Golden Wings Flying Museum in Blaine, Minnesota. It was once the oldest flying aircraft in Australia and has been converted from an Avian II configuration. It is painted to represent G-EBUG, an aircraft Amelia Earhart flew across the United States in 1928-1929. In all, there are nine survivors of all marks from around the world.
Humans guessing signal strengths, and then the "the computers ran the numbers" to contrive a crash site. Yeah man that sound plausible! Garbage in garbage out.
There is so much wrong with this whole vid.
Well, since this video is now over 6 years old, nothing has been solved.
Everyone who has ever searched for her says they have found the answer. It's all conjecture.
No, she was found as was her Electra. Watch Earhart's Electra on Amazon or read Fred Goerners 1966 book which tells the story in excrutiating detail and documentation. It's corroberated testimony by hundreds of people and US Marines including many Flag Officers, few know of each other but all tell the same story of exactly what happened to Amelia. Its been known for decades. www.amazon.com/dp/B005KE8P9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Yqo-EbG996S6T
MAY YOU ALL HATERS STOP COMMENTING STUFF LIKE "Go back to the kitchen"!? TODAY IN THE 21st century, people aren't sexist. People that are sexist are you all crazy mofos that are just wasting time. She is a aviation hero and no one can doubt that. No one is to blame. Even if she left the morse code thing it is reasonable to leave it due to the circumstances. The only thing I'm hating on is the company that helps locate it. They are just doing it to get fame and be more popular. They don't deserve to be the ones with the information. If they were truly trying to find Amelia, they would let other people help find her. Amelia, we (me and the non haters) praise you for the legacy you left behind, I will always remember you. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
People like you inspire to me to become a pilot. Thank you Amelia -Kenny
+Kenny Chuwing CLAP CLAP CLAP that was deep man i love that.
+Kenny Chuwing
No one is to blame? Really?

So go ahead and earn some base for respect yourself before trying to lecture people what hey have to say and to do. Just go ahead, blah-blah-blah doesn't count. How about to fly across the Atlantic alone in the night in a bad weather without radio? Go ahead, be a hero!
Excellent. I watch it to the end.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.

"two hours of fuel remaining". That's really not much fuel if you think about it. If they got lost, they could easily burn that up. They ran out of fuel and they likely died on impact. Plane ditching is usually not successful. The ocean is huge. It would be a miracle to find a trace. No more mystery.
It is not fair to blame Earheart's navigator, Frederick J. Noonan (1893-1937). and his alleged drinking problem.
Noonan had a pilot's license, a sea license (#121190) which authorized him to "Master Class Navigator, any ocean" (i.e. license to navigate and pilot any ship, anywhere).
"Noonan was rumored to be a heavy drinker... That was fairly common during this era and there is no contemporary evidence Noonan was an alcoholic." Furthermore Noonan was NOT fired from Pan American, for drinking - as stated here.
Noonan was, by far, the most experienced aviator in that Lockheed Electra when he and Earthart disappeared. And as a professionel sailor, pilot and navigator, he knew how to operate a radio, too.
"During the early 1930s, he worked for Pan American World Airways as a navigation instructor in Miami and ... eventually assuming the duties of inspector for all of the company's airports.... Noonan was subsequently responsible for mapping Pan Am's clipper routes across the Pacific Ocean, participating in many flights to Midway Island, Wake Island, Guam, the Philippines, and Hong Kong.
[Thus, Noonan already had a] reputation as an expert navigator, along with his role in the development of commercial airline navigation, had already earned him a place in aviation history.
The tall, very thin, dark auburn-haired and blue-eyed 43-year-old navigator was living in Los Angeles. He resigned from Pan Am because he felt he had risen through the ranks as far as he could as a navigator, and he had an interest in starting a navigation school."
Sounds like the skipper of the EXXon VALDEEZ
robynn, you are correct in saying he was expert. what very few know, and i learned navigation before my navy time and had to get much better during those navy years, when you deal with crossing the international date line, everything about navigation changes. your almanac is based on date/time GMT specifically. stars are considered to be absolute, that is they do not move. (not concerned with the fact they are, we are talking tables of navigation, they are considered fixed and the earth's movement is then calculated)
when navigators who are not used to crossing the date line are doing so, the errors in navigation are huge. for our girl Amelia to get on the line which lead her to crash on the island ( say crash since her partner was injured) was no small feat. the was probably too far south due to compensation for what she assumed would be northern hemisphere winds when she was still south (she drifted further south) is remarkable.
it is always a pleasure to see a thinking, informed comment when i'm reading through what is posted. in a post that might not have posted, i noted the way direction finding worked and why radar if it existed would never be spoken of. look up "lucy has one eye" to get a perspective of radar at the time which even talking about it was dealt with severely
excellent post, robynn
Crossing the IDL, nothing about navigation changes.
robynn Wow ur so smart
Perhaps you missed the part where he got fired for being a drunk😑
We cant even find a 777, I doubt we will find a Lockheed Electra that by now will have next to nothing left of it, if any thing at all. I am sure Earhart would of much rather her crash site not be found so she can remain part of aviation folk law and the mystery be a reason why we have not forgotten what she achieved.
Very minor point: at 15:10 it is stated she left Newfoundland.
Yet the spot marked on the map is actually Labrador.
Newfoundland is the island to the southeast.....
Yeah Im glad these guys are not in the map making business
Thanks for Sharing... I have always been interested in this mystery
I’d say poor Amelia is lost forever
I've studied this forr many minutes and came to the conclusion they got lost they ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean killing them both.. All this mystery stuff is pure guff
I think so to May they RIP
Many minutes? WOW! Aren't you invested? Hahaha, they've been looking for her for decades upon decades, who knew they just needed to wait for you to be born, and having studied one video for minutes you'd solve one of the world's longest running, oldest mysteries, my god why aren't you famous!? Hahaha Hahaha 😂😂😂😂 kids these days! Oyt of control and dumb as a box of rocks😂😂
Well gee, your intense study of “many minutes” far surpasses the experts, with actual evidence, and their studies for over 80 years. Good job, professor🙄
@@misssophie7717 All evidence points to they got lost ran out of fuel and crashed in the sea.. The rest is speculation and conspiracy theory professor..
I guess since you’ve studied it and gave your opinion, that must be concrete you sound like a typical American
The exact location is 'top secret'... It is so secret, that even they have no idea where the location is. Now that is a secret!
I agree …. I don’t see why The location is so Top Secret for ….
@@seachris Because they do not know the location. I mean, the guy at the end went skydiving to better familiarize himself with the ocean and it's depths. That speaks volumes of the intelligence of these glory hounds.
They may as well have said “we ain’t got a damn clue either” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
the name of the account that made the comment is Russel Williams and he has a video about f18... There is also a convicted criminal that murdered two people named Russel Williams and he was a Colonel in the Canadian airforce, does anyone see this?
Thank you Naked Science for the interesting documentaries. Very cool stuff!
😎👍
What a beautiful airplane, the Lockheed L10A Electra. Beautiful plane! That and the Beech18.
kk?h
When you read The Spirit of St Louis it's really boring as Lindberg goes on and on about working with the guys at Ryan and all the details about testing the airplane. He knew exactly what the plane would do and planed every detail and tested every piece of equipment.
When Earhart flew the Atlantic in the Vega she got the plane from the factory and busted out over the ocean without even breaking in the engine. It had a bad weld in the exhaust system that would have been discovered if she had done a few maintenance and test flights. As it was the exhaust leak became very serious.
Being a so called good pilot has many factors to it. Airplane handling is only one part of it. Her bad decision making and general incompetence that was revealed by her foolish flight in the Vega and in many ways on many occasions was going to get her killed sooner or later.
She was so close 😭
I know. It’s heartbreaking. 😢💔
You know I think running out of fuel over the ocean was most likely. But here's something to consider. If the plane was out of fuel, the giant 1000 gallon tank would make a great flotation device for the plane. It could have delayed it's sinking for hours. Especially if the wings broke off on impact. That means the currents could carry the plane miles before sinking.
Fume Ventilation and fuel dumping tubes flooded the empty tanks with water in almost immediately. From what I researched, simulations involving the 10E sink very quickly in water.
It was the greatest aviation mystery up to that time, but one can reason that she got lost and ran out of gas. It was soon surpassed by the disappearance of the Hawaii Clipper in 1938. A Martin 130 flying boat disappeared just after leaving Guam. Since it was a flying boat flying over water, it should have been able to land on water, but to this day, no trace has been found of the 14 people aboard.
There's a newer documentary out. They found a campfire, dead roasted birds and American freckle cream on Nikamoru (used to be Gardner Island) and a photo with maybe an airplane wheel sticking out of the water, plus transcripts of further transmissions on her frequency where she calmed an apparently injured Noonan. But it's certain she didn't live long if that WAS her (which can't be proved of course)
the mysterie of our century is the flight MH 370 malisian airways that disappeared in March 2014 and no where to be found period .
Disappointing vid , way too much filler material and nothing solved.
Like 20 minutes of that snake
The world was duped by GP Putnam. He saw a cash cow and jumped on it then forced her to do things that she couldn't possibly pull off by herself. Henry Manning, Paul mantz then Fred Noonan all we're going to come along with her on the world attempt westbound. When on the 2nd takeoff from Hawaii she crashed and Paul and Henry quit for their own safety. Noonan the drunk stayed on and killed himself along with a pilot who was just way over her head. No pun intended! GP was already in extramarital affair and then was married shortly after she disappeared. What is scum he must have been.
Yes, I think that’s one thing that is always overlooked in the dialogue. He was out there to make money, not to pioneer Amelia Earhart as if some noble virtue. Surely he could’ve found a better navigator and pulled this off with better planning and training.
TIGHAR. Why wasn't the baby skeleton tested DNA for Amelia? She was a women and Fred was male. Also, rumor was she was already pregnant before she left California. In a TIGHAR expedition uncovered a baby skeleton but safely placed back in the shallow grave. It is common sense to test that DNA. It could have been still born or died shortly after birth. It is possible. So why wasn't it tested?
Anyone who obsesses over "records" and "needs the celebrity" is prone to be a gambler; and gamblers are known for making poor decisions when all the chips are down. Why she is still lauded by so many is a mystery to me. Earhart is an example of what not to do. Don't seek celebrity, don't seek records, above all, do not compare yourself to other people in your career field. Such self-destructive behavior is bound to catch up sooner rather than later.
“We are extremely confident we are going to find her plane”

Seven more years have passed…what’s the holdup?
Gotta run spellcheck.
Lesson learned: Don't let the drunk guy navigate
"There's no other land within 325 miles of Howland Island." . . . um . . . it is 43 miles south to Baker Island . . . just sayin'.
So within 500 square miles of the island. What a breakthrough!
Yup , only 500 ! Lol
That is 10x 50 miles or 20 x 25 mi which is remarkable in a vast body of water like the Pacific given the data to work from. Of course this assumes this team is correct. On e assumption is which ship they passed over. One thing I don’t understand about radios is why one party hears the other but not reciprocal in reception. My cell phone has done this so I know it happens but it is on terra firma.
Check all military paperwork may be some one can find some thing
im not trying to be negative or upset people here but ,should she really be listed as a (great pioneer) when she got lost trying to follow a straight line.
The Electra is such a beautiful piece of equipment. It's poetry in motion even while standing still.
No doubt Buick wanted to be amongst good company when it chose the nameplate for it's Electra sedan.
That's an interesting thought about the Buick Electra, so good in fact that I looked it up. Alas, the namesake of the Buick model was in fact a famous sculptor, Electra Waggoner Biggs, whose brother-in-law was both Buick and General Motor's President.
Good guess, though!
Yeah, and wing walker Jane Wicker owned one and crashed and died on it as well. Spooky.
@@easygoing2479 I think David Buick was long dead before (Alcohol poisoning. (Self-inflicted)
The Electra certainly was a beautiful aircraft, and so were the Buicks of that name!
Even with all the technological advancements there is in air travel where is Flight MH370?
So this was put on TH-cam eight years ago, and may have been recorded even earlier, I haven’t heard anything, so guessing they did not find the Electra in the Pacific. The odds of finding it are very remote. Probably Amelia Earhart remains in the “we’ll never know for certain on this side of eternity“ column.
Amelia Earhart…plane found....mabey watch th-cam.com/video/vCikuQtoPjk/w-d-xo.html
She isn’t dead . She is just busy flying Elvis Presley around with Bruce lee
It seems highly likely that the storm at 5 hours was a major factor in the flight going way off course from the Howland Island target. Also, the Pacific is vast and Howland is a speck and coupled with technical problems, the flight appeared to be doomed from the start. It's possible that the trip was too much for Earhart and coupled with her exhaustion, it's not really surprising that they failed to land there. When the PNG pilot talks about how he would be very nervous about attempting a Howland island flight, it becomes clear how dangerous Earhart's attempt really was.
Correct, Julia, and Amelia was her own worst enemy by failing to properly plan & prepare for such an undertaking; example --- coordination between herself and the US Navy/US Coast Guard was very rudimentary at best. She & the Coast Guard cutter Itasca were transmitting to one another on different radio frequencies at different times; Amelia essentially killed herself plus one of the finest celestial navigators in the entire Pacific area.
Although, if she did indeed make it to Gardner, it could be said that she snapped out of that hubristic mentality, listened to Fred, and made an educated attempt at the Phoenix Islands. Doesn't change the fact that it shouldn't have got to that point, but its better than taking that recklessness all the way to the bottom of the ocean. If this is all true, we have to consider that the rescue attempt was botched.
So many variables and not much room for error. I know I'd have never had the guts to do it. Flying for so many hours when you're already exhausted, any little thing could bring tragedy.
Very true, and tragic. If the first attempt traveling west had been successful, she wouldn’t have been so exhausted on the most difficult leg of the journey over the vast Pacific. However, finding that tiny island with the technology at the time, especially when she didn’t really have mastery of it, was likely never going to end well. I admire her incredible bravery, but it was a very risky thing to do.

Or in other words they still don't know.
She was flying on behalf of president.reconnaissance all the way
*All Hail The Queen Of The Skies Amelia Earhart!*

When will they do a search just as detailed with Mh370? Jeez....
+Instacore they have and more as well spend way more money and have not nearly the idea where it crashed...you should read more about it...it is likely 4 miles down in a 1 million sq miles search area to boot.

Honestly, I don't even know why she would even marry George Putnam. But I suppose she would not have become famous if the world knew she was gay.
Stfu tard! 😒
if you have decided to look down on others because they have decided to make their dreams into reality... that's concerning. Would do more with yourself then punch a timecard or others. Your life though..
Hardly think it's the greatest aviation mystery of all time. A jetliner that disappears in the 21st century or an airplane that disappears within sight of a major city are two that come to mind.
It isn't a mystery at all really... They got lost ran out of fuel and crashed and died
One third glory hunter and a drunk . What could possibly go wrong?.
They just found her plane
Lots of peeps thought Saipan but there was a TEAM sent out here for several attempts to find anything and each time left empty handed. Was good hype for the news media and island but thats about it. Drank a few beers with the Retired American Airlines pilot, Tall lanky Texan, funny guy, He was part of the funded expedition team, even he left unconvinced. After almost 80 years and most that if they did know anything are now dementiated cant remember their own names or are dead like Noonan and Amelia. If US knew anything and is covering it up that likely proves she was on a mission from the funky expedition (Spying). Saipan, an island whos sole income relies on the TOURISM INDUSTRY was sure trying to make it she ended up there. Imagine how a declined Tourism industry would boom after that. No doubt Amelia Is a LEGEND and died doing what she loved. Thats what really matters!✌🏻🍻🇺🇸😊
