Recent Evidence Suggests That Amelia Earhart Did Not Die In Plane Crash
New evidence has shown that “Amelia Earhart” did not die in a plane crash that occurred in 1937. The researchers that run the project found out that there are similarities between a skeleton found on an uninhabited Pacific Island and a famed pilot. The researchers believe that these bones may have belonged to a man.
“Amelia Earhart” who became the first woman to make a full and complete transatlantic flight in 1932 and also the first woman to fly solo from coast to coast disappeared during her first fly attempt around the world in 1937 that has given an intense interest enthusiast for over 70 years now. “Amelia Earhart” and Fred Noonan her navigator, in 1937 departed from Miami to head east. After 25 days their plane suddenly vanished as it drew near to Howland Island in the pacific and after two weeks the search for Amelia was called.
Modern forensic anthropologists and image experts have compared the measurements of the arm bones that were found in an uninhabited Pacific to the historical photos of Amelia and they have discovered that these measurements are “virtually identical”. According to NBC news, these researchers are from the international group of historic aircraft recovery and TIGHAR.
CNN reports the TIGHAR has been trying to prove that the bones do not belong to the dead American pilot since 1998. TIGHAR’S executive director Ric Gillespie told CNN on Tuesday that until the investigation on the skeleton started history only knew that “Amelia Earhart” died in a plane crash on July 2nd, 1937. “But there is an entire final chapter of Earhart's life that people don't know about. She spent days maybe months heroically struggling to survive as a castaway” Ric Gillespie.
According to US Magazine, in a press release by TIGHAR on its website, stated that Amelia's exact measurements aren't known but the experts have successfully used historical photos to detect it.
