I'm pretty convinced she landed on Gardner Island. There has been a body recovered several years after her disappearance and measurements may match hers. I think Fred never made it out of plane. Plane washed away with high tide a few days later. She broadcasted for 2 days which means she could start engine
@kq6up Says:
That was fascinating!
@bobbee-fr6yi Says:
Why did you not include the Earhart transmissions in the days after the disappearance? Theres plenty of documented evidence. Just curious.
@JerrryMillion Says:
What really happened? She was a terrible pilot that had several accidents before she killed her navigator and herself.
@guitarmarc2 Says:
No. Wrong. There is a TON of evidence that she died on Saipan, at the hands of the Japanese. TONS of evidence.

Without Morse they were doomed.

Whadda Loadda Bulla Shitta!
@EKA201-j7f Says:
So Commander Thompson of the Itasca (see from 30:29 and on) WITHHELD VITAL INFORMATION from Erhart and Noonan and let them die. That seems like a worthy and accurate headline.
@shelbynamels973 Says:
She was a crap pilot, end of. Cath. Vail Bridges was loads better. She never crashed any of the planes she delivered to the Army Air Corps.
@MrLodesmond Says:
Is Fred Noonan on the video?
@benquinneyiii7941 Says:
America😂
@davidgraham7279 Says:
It was piss poor planning and Earhart's incompetence with radios, not checking her radio equipment worked and letting Mr. Manning leave the mission without replacing him with another radioman. And how much does aircraft insulation weigh? THAT was a HUGE mistake.
@Rudolf-w4e Says:
Men zegt goede hoop te hebben dat het vliegtuig van Haar is gevonden. Hopelijk zit Amelia er nog in en kan ze gered worden. Arme meid!
@travisohaver42090 Says:
I dont remember what documentary i watched years ago, but the theory that stuck with me was that she landed on an island occupied by japan (at the time) they thought she was an american spy so they killed her and dismantled the plane, so there was no evidence. But like I said.... it's just a theory.

Thank God there is a mute button I don't have to listen to the commercials
@michaeldugas7932 Says:
Too Many commercials I can't watch this two commercials at a time I think I'm gonna be done with this Youtube crap
@hkvp9tactical418 Says:
Amelia was amazing…except for having a clear pre-plan or something clearly pre-communicated and confirmed amongst ALL parties…ugh 😢
@baomao7243 Says:
10:53 Love that trailing wire antenna. Used up to this day, largely for comms with submersibles vehicles.
@baomao7243 Says:
10:18. Hertz was a hack. Just kidding. He’s in good company w/ Maxwell, Tesla, Marconi, et. al. An RF rock star. It always amazes me how much progress was made just with SIMPLE tinkering and experimentation. Amazing.
@JimmyBoatright-q7d Says:
Sounds to me like she or the guy with her didn't have a clue of what they were doing
@JimmyBoatright-q7d Says:
That would have to be terrifying to be lost over the ocean and running out of fuel with no where to land but the deep dark Atlantic Ocean.
@JimmyBoatright-q7d Says:
We will never know they will never find her plane and most definitely not the body's that's just facts.
@Dark_Asteroid Says:
A medoicre pilot plus a drunk as a navigator equals disaster.
@lisahurley8107 Says:
Oh shut up
@aechmaydostuff Says:
There is actually a lot of evidence pointing to them landing on Nikumaroro Island and dying there
@mathewchebii-b7d Says:
Well done
@Mysterytalesbystanley Says:
Interesting

Loser
@marlonbrando9279 Says:
The best Earhart documentary on YouTube, excellent content 🤙🙌😎
@Cyka-n6n Says:
The first woman ever with a big brain. Spread it across the world for all to know. She was so busy being a big brain. She forgot the international date line. And drowned in the ocean 150 miles off course. Look at the big brain on her.
@martinishot Says:
Howland island Is a name for an island that makes me wonder.If the gilligans island character thurston howell III did not get his name based on that.
@joshmills9302 Says:
Why does the animation have to do her so dirty?
@frederickhahn1086 Says:
I see why the other guy bailed out. She’s seemed wildly unprepared for such an ambitious flight
@genekelly8467 Says:
Interesting...there was another famous person (Richard Halliburton) who attempted to sail a Chinese junk from Japan to the USA..he set one day and was never seen again. The Pacific is vast
@simonjonsson3654 Says:
A clusterfuck of incompetence. I almost fell asleep, but the closing remarks did wake me up. Knowledge and responsibility. Midway through life I have realized people around me understand different areas on a level I'll never will. But they are not interested in using their knowledge. A frustration is borne in that gap, and life continues.
@nothingtoseehere93 Says:
The reality is she was a mediocre pilot who stubbornly attempted a super risky flight and generally only successful previously because of male copilots. But she became a feminist icon so they had to rewrite history as usual
@ElPatudo2028 Says:
Amateur hour x 100,000,000.... duh
@surrenderdaily333 Says:
Sounds like a disaster before it started. How very sad... reminded of the expression, "The Devil's in the details," and there were too many details in this flight to make it end well by any means but God.
@yuvvrajkperson Says:
Looks like it was inevitable that her plane would crash, just for different reasons. The problem existed between the seat and the controls.
@MichaelLaVigne-ms7xe Says:
14:36 I cannot imagine what a racist Amelia Earhart must have been if the only way for the ground crew to get her attention as she was flying to her death was to repeatedly text the letter "N" to her and wait for her to write back with WE ALL KNOW WHAT LETTER. 😂
@SlumLordMillion Says:
BRO THE DUDE WHO MADE THESE VIDEOS IS A ANIMAL EXPERT
@KDSK4958 Says:
I'll save you the time. Near Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean a massive kraken wanted a snack and reached miles high to pull down the entire plane with her in it. Truly a tragic end to an incredible legacy. Jokes aside, watch the whole video.
@scubasteve445 Says:
This article was a little misleading. My understanding is, as of yet, they have not discovered where her plane or where she went down exactly. There is an expedition at the end of October, I think, of 2026 to go hunt for her, but so far I don't think they've found anything about where she went down. President Trump did declassify some information about her communications and stuff during that time, which led people on all these wild goose chases. Only time will truly tell where she went down.
@pittifullhumans Says:
A barely mediocre pilot made famous by rewriting history simply because she was a woman. DEI in its infancy.
@terryalderson2851 Says:
You all make radio navigation way to complicated. We did it with just a piece of wire for the antenna in the army. Just use signal strength
@214Wildbill Says:
Fly's into history,

wow

@quartytypo Says:
Amelia Earhart was an extraterrestrial. She was called back to her home planet because her mother was dying. They took her and Fred Noonan and the entire plane and put it inside the alien craft. Unfortunately, Fred had no choice in his abduction. He was unable to contact Earth to let people know what happened. Fred died on the planet. Amelia is still alive there today.
