What happened to amelia earhart
We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.” My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. “Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. The group has pointed to evidence like lost distress calls and the 1940 discovery of a partial skeleton to support the idea that Earhart and Noonan may have survived on the island for some time while waves washed the aircraft down the slope of the underwater reef.Ībout a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”: TIGHAR has favored a castaway theory, suggesting that Earhart and Noonan made an emergency landing on the reef of Nikumaroro (once called Gardner Island). Another less glamorous theory posits that she survived but assumed a fake identity and started a new life in New Jersey. Some say she was captured and executed in Saipan. All communication was lost with the duo during one of the final legs of their journey, en route to Howland Island in the Pacific. The pair headed east from Oakland, California, in a modified twin-engine Lockheed Electra 10E. Earhart disappeared in 1937 along with her navigator Fred Noonan during an attempt to fly around the world. The discovery of the aircraft could put to bed one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century. In June 2015, the group plans to sail a research vessel to Nikumaroro for a a 24-day expedition to investigate the anomaly with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), while divers will search the surrounding reef for other possible bits of wreckage meanwhile researchers on foot will scour the island for remains of a possible campsite. The hunt for Amelia Earhart's lost plane will continue next summer.Īn underwater "anomaly" detected off the coast of the tiny Pacific atoll Nikumaroro could be the wreckage of Earhart's aircraft, as it is the right size and in the right location, according to the International Group For Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR).
