The Odd Vanishing of Amelia Earhart

Every f***ing time that mannequin scares the sh*t out of me

This story makes me sad because she only had 18 hours left on this 40 day trip and we have no clue what happened

saw a comment that said "the scary thing is that Earhart and Noonan are the only people on the planet who know the truth" but the scariest thing is what if they aren't??

I think theory 2 is what most likely happened. Ameilia was an experienced pilot who knew what to do under pressure. I think she landed on the island and eventually died with Noonan due to a lack of supplies. Then, they were eaten by crabs.

Technically Michael Jordan did disappear once and was found in a different dimension where Buggs bunny played basketball

wow school totally f-ed up this story, I thought she got lost in the Bermuda Triangle by herself

Fun Fact: A man named Dr. Robert Ballard, the same man who founded the wreck of Titanic in 1985, is searching for Earhart’s plane.

'Half the reason that half the cases are unsolved bcoz some people found the evidence and were like, too much work, thrown em' this is sad but so truee

I love how no one talks about Noonan. Like, he died too! but no one cares. Poor guy.

The guy who tossed the bones was, like, almost criminally incompetent. Even if they weren't Amelia Earhart or Fred Noonan's bones, they were still human remains. Who just casually tosses out unidentified human remains like, "Well, it's not someone famous, so who cares?"

“Well Michael Jordan never disappeared on a basketball court forever so—“ Lmao imagine: “And then just like that, Michael went for a layup and suddenly vanished into thin air”

Lmao imagine just being a random lady living your life and then a book comes out saying you’re Amelia Earhart 🤣

Amelia is up in heaven like, “these a holes can’t get anything right”

Ok even if it wasn’t Amelia Earhart’s bones on that island, clearly someone was stranded on there and died there. Who was it? Why did no one look further into it? They were just like if it’s not a famous body we just don’t care.

The thing shane referenced, male mechanics' sabotaging womens crafts, actually happened a lot. It was a mess.

What annoys me about her story is that you KNOW that some douchebags from back then said “see? This is why women shouldn’t fly!” Amelia was such a badass and I’m glad she stayed in the public eye

Coast Guard: We think the plane crashed and Earhart died. Amelia: Quit tellin' everyone I'm dead! Coast Guard: Sometimes we can still hear her voice-

Amelia may have worn shoes too big because your feet swell when you fly at high altitudes

I feel like he burned the bones so no one could check again and find out whatever he was trying to hide. He sus.

I think it's possible that Earhart and Noonan crashed in the ocean and while the plane was sinking that's when those messages the girl found were heard, like they were stuck inside and couldn't get out. Noonan obviously never made it off the plane either dying on impact or after the crash. However, Earhart was able to figure a way off the plane and swam to that nearby island where she built that fire and where the Sekstant was found. The studies of the bones that were discovered later showed that they could have belonged to a taller than average woman and Earhart WAS TALLER THAN AVERAGE, and that makes it definitely possible that the bit of shoe sole was hers as well. I mean, I'm about 5'8 ish and my feet are about 9 1/2 - 10 inches in size. Regardless, she attempted to survive as long as she could, but without a source for food and probably sustaining many injuries, it makes sense that she wouldn't have lasted more than a week if she could find water. If no water was to be found then that would cut it down to a few days. Especially given the brute force the elements would have had on her. In the end, she died of starvation and her body wad eaten by the coconut crabs, explaining why only 12 of the bones remained. It's not unsolved, people just like the air of mystery that hangs about it. It's also extremely easy to fly over your destination, especially back then with less advanced navigation. There are dozens of cases of pilots going missing due to getting caught in jet streams and losing their navigation. Earhart is no different considering the radio message told us that she was way higher than she was supposed to be. In conclusion, the only unsolved bit is what happened to the rest of the plane, and the absence of Noonan's body. Either way. Thanks for listening to my TED talk lol.
