Breaking News: They havent found no new clues.
😂
So what were the new clues then? 🤔
Reread your comment carefully and I'll let you ponder on it a moment....
@@TheINFJChannel You have severe comprehension problems.
@@TheINFJChannel This is pure clickbait, there's no new information in this video, in fact, there is less. I doubt this, so called expert, ever read a book on her disappearance. 😀😀😀
🤣🤣🤣 thank you for saving me some time.
RADIO DISTRESS CALLS......your “Expert” has failed to mention that there were numerous radio signals heard and triangulated, which continued for many days after the July 2, 1937 disappearance. One such signal was heard by Betty Klenck in St Petersburg Florida on her fathers short wave radio. A woman’s voice who identified herself as Amelia Earhart was pleading for help, and repeatedly said something like “New York City”.
Not only did did the radio signals triangulate to Gardener island (Nikumaroro), but there was a large ship run aground on the reef there……the SS Norwich City.
The fact that neither one could not use Morse code was not good because CW would be much better form of communication.
Agree that CW would have carried much farther than voice… have read that they actually discarded their Morse key, though that report assumes that they only had one. While I must agree that some of the evidence put forth by TIGHAR is somewhat “hopeful”, their investigation into the “Post Loss Radio Signals” is quite thorough. Including backdated almanac for High/Low tides to 1937, in support of their theory that they ran an engine on the aircraft while transmitting to keep the batteries charged.
As a teen, I used to “shoot skip” into the South Pacific with a CB Radio. Consistently talked with folks in Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand from California. (Forgive me FCC). So I believe radio signal evidence is extremely plausible.
Wow that’s interesting. I never knew that. What I don’t get is why Havnt they or maybe they have I don’t know never found any concrete evidence to support they did use sonar to go around those islands and scan it? I mean they have stuff to run sonar better then I use fishing and I have garmin panoptix and down and side scan and they have stuff that can pick up metal in the ocean how come they never have? But again like I said maybe they have I just Havnt found where they have done that yet.
You’re making a huge assumption that Betty Klenck was telling the truth which is comical. It’s as ridiculous as seeing a 20 year old picture of some coral and believing that it is Amelia’s plane. It’s not her plane, it’s a dead end lead and the plain will never be found. You’re talking about scattered bits of a plane that has been eroding in the ocean for 100 years lol. They can’t even find wreckage of MH370. Not a chance they find Amelia’s little tin plane.
Soooooooooo where’s the photo?……
He was a ray of sunshine 😅
Felt kinda bad cuz the newslady seemed like she tried.
Right?!
She did didn't she!! Ya he was kinda of a dick, but she kept trying to bring it thru
Why does he have such a negative attitude about answering the questions?
Because it’s a photograph and no one even knows where the photo was taken.
@@kevin6293 It's more than that - he's just bad-tempered.
@@kristinstrickland1038 no I think that’s you projecting
I appreciate him giving an honest opinion instead of trying to play up a photo that is likely nothing.
He thinks Amelia was foolhardy and incompetent. That's why.
I bet this guy is fun at parties
So you really didn't have anything to report....or say
I think it's crazy that neither Amelia or Fred knew Morse code? Why not?
*morse
@@tdtvegasbro 😭
For sure, at least the basics
How did she send and receive telegrams to her husband during her trip then?
Every stop she made, she used a phone or telegraph. Not midair. @@Caravroomvroom
Not an optimist then?
Unsolved mysteries figured this out in the 90s.
I remember that, too!
@@kristinstrickland1038 Yeah it was a good episode they went into some good detail for the time. Do you have any opinion of what happened?
@@bigpicturethinking5620 That is actually the ONLY Unsolved Mysteries episode I remember. I have the mental picture in my mind of some soldiers with guns executing Amelia and her friend in front of an open grave in the ground. I thought that was a scary theory of a demise and it stuck with me! No, I don't know what happened - I would need to take a 'refresher course' on the incident! I'll have to look for that episode here on TH-cam to remember the good detail you mention.
I wish I could find and recover the time I wasted watching this. Oof.
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)..
Seriously, you described all the people who clicked on this story.
Shane on you News Nation ...fact driven click bait
So no clue still. Alright
This guy is talking out of his ass when he says the aircraft was rickety.
Personally I believe they went down in the ocean..chances are high the wreckage will never be found but then again anything is possible.plane wreckage has been found in the ocean many times through history..I would love to see it found but the chances are very slim..
I agree the last transmissions received by the Coast Guard Cutter Itasca, she told them they were at 1000 feet AGL were circling trying to pick up radio signal from the Cutter. The fact after they took off from New Guinea right away, they had communication problems should have turned back when that happened.
@@Mike-01234 I absolutely agree..I base this off of the facts you mentioned which is why I am certain they went down in the ocean..Based off of their transmissions..I also agree with you that they should have turned back .
We still can’t find a “modern “ jumbo jet that disappeared almost a decade ago.. MH17
MH17 was shot down by a missile over land and was never missing. MH370 disappeared over the ocean and remains missing.
@@noxnc I wouldn’t be surprised… do tell!
@@queenofscots839 It’s pretty well documented, I believe it was mistakenly shot down over a conflict zone in Eastern Europe. There is footage of people going through the wreckage, I believe there may have even been a prosecution. It happened close in time to MH370 disappearing, so you may confusing the two incidents, but MH17 was never missing. It took a while to figure out who was responsible, but the location of the debris was very clear right away.
MH370 is the missing plane.
Mh370
Science journalist Jeff Wise' (with no pilot's license...how did I know that?) idea of what transpired the night before takeoff:
Fred Noonan to Amelia: "Hey Hon, so we're looking for this little speck of an island in that great big ocean. Not to be a wet rag...but what if we don't find it? I mean, what's our 'Plan B'?
Amelia to Fred: "Plan B? You're a real party pooper, Fred. There ain't gonna be no "Plan B". You just get us to that island...or we swim with the fishes. Got that, big boy?" Fred to Amelia: "Huh, OK. I need a drink.......".
As anyone with a pilot's license knows - you NEVER take a plane off the ground without knowing your "Plan B". Otherwise, every flight is a potential suicide mission. Amelia had no death wish. She had her Plan B - the Gilbert Island Group just to the South - along the compass radial of 137 degrees from Howland - which (surprise!) is exactly the direction she announced she was heading when she couldn't find Howland..
Way too many unqualified "pundents" Espousing crazy ideas that Amelia flew around hoping to see what she could not find until it was too late for a Plan B. I have far more respect for her piloting skills that these so-called experts.
157 not 137. TIGHAR claims it a true course based on the sun line not a magnetic. They would need to know the magnetic declination in order to convert from a true course to a magnetic . They would need to know their location to find the correct declination along their flight path. Example Lae was 5.5 degrees east and Howland was 9.49 degrees east (magnetic declination). They would have had to adjust their course over 20 times in order to fly relatively straight. A 78 degree true course is 68.5 degree magnetic near Howland. So they would have left Lae on a 72.5 degree magnetic using compass and approach Howland on a 68.5 degree magnetic (compass). They are both a 78 degree true course.
Also if the 157-337 was a magnetic and not a true course then it would be based on the 67 degree magnetic (76.5 degree true) which is approximately 1.5 degrees (80 miles) north of Howland, and not the sun line which is 11 degrees north of Howland. But don’t tell TIGHAR about the 67 degree magnetic! We wouldn’t want them to strain themselves doing actual research.
Thanks you, I’m glad someone said it! I was getting more and more angry listening to this ‘expert’ basically trash Earhart, who, Fun fact, I share a birthday with. what does this expert think went down? that maybe one day in a pub she was a drunk telling some random guy she was going to ‘fly around the world’ and he was like ‘no way, that’s so cool. Hey I can read a map, I will navigate for you’ and that’s how the whole things started?? she was an expert aviator AND navigator, it’s just she wasn’t familiar with the new radio navigation system that had been installed on her electra. Make me so mad when people just make shit up. Sorry, this video touched a nerve.
I'm kinda like the rest of the commenters...everything in the video is OFF her plane...its not ON it
The funny thing is that the US government paid all that money to have 2 ships support and supply along with build a runway on Howland Island. And groups of people want use to believe that Earhart and Noonan just abandoned their flight plan and did their own thing. They left their lifeboat behind and tried to find an island 2 miles long out in the middle of the ocean.
I am not so interested in Where she ended up. I am more interested in Why she did not make it to Howland, a topic not often discussed.
Analysis of movie film from her takeoff departing New Guinea shows evidence that the antenna for her radio receiver, located below the fuselage, may have been damaged. This would explain why she did not hear radio transmissions from USCG cutter Itasca stationed off Holland. One of several factors.....
Remember Occam's Razor. He said; "All things being equal, The simplest explanation is usually the truth". The simplest explanation is the plane crashed into the ocean and sank. If those new images turn out to be her Electra, that will settle the issue. Those radio calls could have been made by anyone.
so...whose plane is that then? how many ppl have crashed in that area piloting a rickety plane.
Slow news day? No news news. Cool
Don't throw away clues that were real to concentrate on broken pieces of metal and dried up old bones.
Almost 100 years have passed and she made so many people rich! Let's not kill the golden goose that "still" is laying the golden eggs!
The aircraft cowling is not “part of the engine”! 2:28. You lose a lot of credibility with that statement as “an aviation expert”. It is the part of the outside of the airplane that covers the engine compartment.
had an uncle who was a pilot during the time Amelia Earhart went lost and he swears that he saw her grave on a deserted island that he crash landed on but was told not to report it by his commander. His name was
Bob Johnston.
This guy is trying to shut the story down before they even look into it.
It's a personality type. And not a pleasant one. This guy was a real sour apple!
When I look at clouds, I see animal shapes.
Her plane was found off howland island under 3 miles of water
I saw a picture of a twin-engine plane found pretty much in tact at the bottom of the ocean. What's going on with that?
Nothing more than a guy wanting to share his lack of knowledge, of anything related.
I'd hardly call a Lockheed Electra 10E a rickety aircraft or unreliable. It was a state of the art aircraft of its day being among other things the first twin engined all metal aircraft built by Lockheed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Model_10_Electra
It wasn't the plane....to call it flimsy is a clue to anyone this guy doesn't know anything...did it not have GPS...yes it had an experimental radio direction finder. That they depended on too much. Bottom line is they used too much fuel avoiding the storm and I think most of all not being proficient in Morse Code and relying on one radio..who's antenna broke is the real cause... aircraft itself 100% never the problem
I agree with @patrick, an Electra WAS one of the most state-of-the-art aircraft in 1937,, Also, his put down that "...Amelia was not a very good navigator.." carries NO weight in his argument, because Ameila was flying with Fred Noonan, A NAVIGATOR.
@@K9AF Apparently this guy thinks people in earlier times are stupid and not smart like he is.
@@K9AF do you do a lot of CW
@@steelboymi yes, that's my favorite mode.
If all these people from all over heard Earhart’s distress calls, why didn’t Earhart contact the itasca before they left Lae? The itasca got a relayed message letting them know Earhart left Lae at approximately 10am Lae time.
Significantly incorrect report.
its crazy that her plane just vanished
Boy that was misleading and if planes were so reliable/ with better training, compared to 1937, JFK Jr and so many others would still be alive
I couldn’t see a thing
She was low on fuel. There was no way she had enough to go to Nikumaroro Isiand. I’m a friend of Elgen Longs grand son Justin.
If she did get lost and run out of fuel surely she would have been able to crash land on the water ...... and with the flight being over a vast ocean the MUST have had a raft and some emergency supplies on board. If they did not then it's absolute criminal negligence.
Guarenteed she is no where near where anyone thought . Smashed inti the side of rocky mountains and gone
Is this guy an expert?? Airplane was invented in 1903 and Amelia's Plane was a 1936 Electra , , comparing it to canvas winged crop- dusters I don't believe it was " rickety " at all , , ,
typical news nation news
the empty click bait titles and ridiculous reporting are the new standards.
I find some of these comments to be highly amusing, incredibly inane and, at times insulting to one's intelligence! Some do appear to be written with a certain amount of common sense, but these are few and far between. Fact: two people sadly disappeared, apparently without a trace. The bottom line is that we, as human beings, are naturally curious. Many of us view the mystery surrounding the true facts of the plane's disappearance with a degree of sadness, regret and frustration of never knowing why and how. One day, the 'mystery' may truly be resolved. Until then, idle speculation is understandable but pointless. Two people died, either before, during or after the plane disappeared. May they rest in peace.
THIS VIDEO MUCH TO DO ABOUT NOTHING! What good was this video when it had nothing new to report? This guy being interviewed had nothing to offer the public, zero, zip. The clueless woman reporter thanked him at the end of the interview but was she that mindless, not realizing this guy didn't have anything at all to say about Amelia's disappearance? It was as if he just wanted to be interviewed so he could be on TV and watch himself with his family and friends to satisfy his ego. Watch this video a second time and you'll see what I mean.
And, I should add, this guy failed to mention the now infamous photo of Amelia and her navigator that was taken on a dock either on Saipan island or nearby after they crashed their plane into the ocean and her plane can be seen on the background, being towed by a ship. He doesn't even mention that! Did not this female reporter know about the photo? It's existence was made public a few years ago.
Well that’s stupid don’t they mark the pictures dates times locations they must have taken millions of pictures a job handled by a bunch of amateurs
When will she return.
Milli Atoll. Marshall Islands. Many eye witnesses (incl medic) of plane, A.E. and F.N. All 3 ended up in Saipan
we can't find MH370 and that was a modern not "flimsy" aircraft... let that sink in
If 157-337 runs north and south who selected the east and west starting position and how was it selected? If they flew 2556 miles they would either hit Howland or they would be north or south of Howland and then turned onto 157-337. If they didn’t fly 2556 miles how was their total distance calculated and who calculated it? 157-337 true course only points close to Gardner island if the researchers calculated the actual distance travelled and found an error. What was the error and how was it proven?
Why don’t you learn how navigation works yourself instead of being lazy? Do the work
@@jaybee7890 if a 67 degree true (sun line) is 11 degrees north of Howland then where is the 67 degree magnetic after adjusting for the magnetic field (declination)?
@@jaybee7890 if TIGHAR had done some real research instead of being lazy, they would have known the magnetic declination near Howland and found out that the 67 degree magnetic (compass) is about 80 miles north of Howland on a 76.5 degree true course. And realized that 157-337 could be based on it and not based on the sun line!
I heard she wasn’t that great of a pilot. Is that true?
No
They brought this on their selfs no pilot experience no navigation experience no reliable airplane dam people whr really dumb in the head back in those days
But at least they knew what restroom to use
That looks like rocks on the ocean floor. Is News Nation stuck on things in the water like Avi’s teeny round balls on the ocean floor?
That Lockheed Electra was the best in the world by Kelly Johnson and was not flimsy or rickety. You know nothing and said nothing. TD Atlanta
Nothing
This dude is a hater
Amelia Earhart is almost as elusive as Joe Biden's integrity.
Why dont you give people a break from politics ,enough already
Starting to sound like the search for Jimmy Hoffa
that woman need a gps and map so she can't get lost forever
Ric Gillespie needs you to donate your hard earned cash so he can take another adventure to bring up the ane.
The martians got her.
Whose the gay doofus being interviewed? He is out of his depth in this interview.
Amelia Earhart was officially the first woman to fail at circumnavigating the globe. Good job.
I see nothing round that remotely resemble any man-made object in this TIGHAR video clip.. Anyone can see that? At what time in the video if so...
This guy had great insight and commentary.
clickbait
Lol
More of TIGHAR’s minions. They can’t even explain the 67 degree magnetic (76.5 degree true) that is approximately 1.5 degrees (80 miles) north of Howland. They only researched the sunrise 67 degrees true.
She had Fred Noonan who was an expert navigator on board.
She's dead who cares anymore? Let's concentrate on current event much more interesting 😮😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂
She's dead. Let it go
Wat does Mr mh370 know
Fred Noonan
News Nation: "They may have found evidence that Amelia Earhart died on an island!!! Tell us about this exciting event!!!"
Interviewee: "Yeah. No. And by the way, why does anybody care about this woman who was never going to succeed, wasn't talented, and just crashed her plane in a vast sea where it will be impossible to ever find evidence of the crash."
News Nation: "Okay. Thanks."
Viewers: "🥱"
Is there a wet blanket emoji?
