Very interesting. Great real world demo and excellent graphics throughout the video. Like most disasters its death by a thousand cuts, not a single thing that doomed her final flight. Also shows how history oversimplifies Amelia's story: she got lost - well duh... but how? This video explains the communication mistakes, planning gaps and technology limitations. Makes it much sadder too since with a better plan, more knowledge and improved communication things would have turned out very differently.

Why have I always heard that her plane was found on an island and that she was most likely eaten by giant crabs?? I’ve heard that so many times.

somewhere on youtube, is the where they found the aircraft within the last year. It seems she was acting by taking military photos. There was more to this story. Go an have a look. Interesting conclusion.

I’ve now watched this thrice, all in one sitting. So that I could get a solid single viewing without my jaw residing on the floor. My ignorance relative to these facts was massive. Good Lord. In some manner: Earhart had the tragic ratio of desire-for-fame / actual capability that made her not only an aviation pioneer, but on the (social) media/influencer frontier. Thank you, deeply, for disabusing me of what I held in error.

<<@TravelingWithLex
says :
Interesting how Earhart & Noonan determined their location in 1937 in a fundamentally similar way to experts narrowing the potential location arcs and search areas for MH370 after it disappeared over the Indian Ocean in 2014; the latter using satellite "handshake" analysis, and burst timing/frequency offsets instead of celestial observation.

<<@747driver3

The absolute best YouTube channel. Earhart may have been the first DEI, instagramming female pilot. She wanted the fame and recognition but lacked the skill and knowledge to accomplish this large task on her own. There were good intentioned but misguided powers that wanted her to succeed solely because she was a woman.

32:10 And this is where you lose credibility! Why BLATANTLY LIE? Calling evidence that contradicts your theory, a “conspiracy theory” means it’s actually MORE likely to be true. Why lie about radio signals coming in that used her call sign? Why pretend there weren’t bones found on Howland, an island on the EXACT line she said she was following? Handwaving away evidence you don’t like, doesn’t make you seem more credible. What does it hurt to mention the island?

What's tragic about her flight attempt. Was she had completed 3/4 of the trip already. & she almost made it. She just had to fly around 2,243 miles to an island the size of a speck of dust. Compared to the enormous Pacific. No one can really blame her, she had no experience flying over an ocean that big. & in my opinion, should have had an experienced radio operator on board as well as Noonan. Because she was lost by the time her fuel ran out. Even though it would've added extra weight for an extra person. He could've used his skills. To communicate with the Itasca. & hopefully either find the island, or radio for help.

Poor Fred Noonan, he is the original Jan Brady…… all of the attention goes to his pretty sister, Amelia….. Nobody remembers the man who is completely forgotten by history who died with her….

Perfect example of DEI. It was all about narrative. Her training was Inadequate. The Communist Roosevelts wanted subversive storyline above all.

I very much honestly didn’t think that what became her final flight was just that preventable. I’ve honestly not seen a better documentary on her last flight than this video. The explanations really did honestly help me come to turns with what her and Fred Noonan were dealing with on their final flight.

says :
This video convinced me there was no mystery to what happened. I just recently came across a "Today I Learned Science" interview with Ric Gillespie and was completely dismissive of his claims as "conspiracy theory", but by the end of the video it actually made me frustrated with how confidently this video brushes off any mystery as "conspiracy theories." I normally feel like veritasium is very thorough and reliable, but the lack of curiosity or rigor in this video was definitely a miss. Normally you can brush off conspiracy theories because they are so much more complicated than the more likely option. I didn't realize how much circumstantial evidence has to be shrugged off to maintain an ocean crash.
