Just Jack Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57400586/amelia-earhart-mystery-attracts-hillary-clinton/ But the aircraft recovery group believes Earhart and Noonan may have managed to land on a reef abutting the atoll, then known as Gardner Island, and survived for a short time. They surmise that the plane was washed off the reef by high tides shortly after the landing and that the wreckage may be found in the deep waters nearby. Their previous visits to the island have recovered artifacts that could have belonged to Earhart and Noonan and suggest they might have lived for days or weeks. Now, they are armed with new analysis of an October 1937 photo of the shoreline of the island. That analysis shows what government experts believe may be a strut and wheel of a Lockheed Electra landing gear protruding from the water. Renowned oceanographer Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreckage of the Titanic and the Bismarck and is advising the Earhart expedition, said the new analysis of the photograph could be the equivalent of a "smoking gun" as it narrows the search area from tens of thousands of square miles to a manageable size.

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ric Gillespie, the executive director of the group, said the new search is scheduled to last for 10 days in July and will use state-of-the-art underwater robotic submarines and mapping equipment. The Discovery Channel will film the expedition for a television documentary, he said. He acknowledged that the evidence was circumstantial but "strong" but stopped well short of predicting success. "The most important thing is not whether we find the ultimate answer or what we find, it is the way we look," he said. What a load of crap - - you hand out participation trophies long enough and this is what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
