The Vanishing Of Amelia Earhart |
Posted: June 26, 2020 |
Disappearances happen all the time around the world and in many cases, most people are never found. One of the most widespread disappearances is Amelia Earhart. She was a famous person who became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean in 1928 as well as the first person to fly over both the Atlantic and Pacific. One of the most unsolved and mysterious vanishings of Amelia Earhart, disappearing over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. Never been found, there have been many conspiracy theories about what happened to her. This has been the topic of wide speculation for years now and with those coming interesting theories. The first theory is that Earhart’s plane ran out of gas and she and Noonan (the navigator) died when they crashed into the ocean, the second theory is that Earhart became a castaway on Gardner island, and the last theory is that Earhart was in cahoots with the U.S government and was indeed a spy. The missing disappearance of Amelia Earhart transitions to the first theory of what happened to her. Earhart’s planeThe first theory is that Earhart’s plane ran out of gas and she and Noonan (the navigator) died when they crashed into the ocean. According to the JPL on this page concluded that with the headwinds and the 10,000 ft climb Earhart was forced to take early in the flight, her plane would have been out of fuel and would land in the ocean. The reason no one has still not found anything is because near Howland the ocean is about 18,000 ft deep and would have to search a 2,000 and maybe wider square mile area. The other reason is that before going off on the trip again Earhart and Noonan the plane was carrying the most fuel it had , about 1,000 pounds worth and Harry Balfour(Radio Operator) noted that the head winds were stronger than anyone thought. Just a little fact headwinds speed can affect plane speed as well as fuel consumption. In the transmissions, Earhart's voice was described as frantic and she stated, “We must be on you but cannot see you, gas is running low.” Earhart's good at problem solving links to the second theory of landing on an island. Gardner islandThis theory is that Earhart became a castaway on Gardner island. This is along the 157.337 lines Earhart last reported flying on and could have worked as an emergency land. According to a British officer named Gerald Gallagher, he seemed to have found the remains of a campsite and a box containing a tool used to determine longitude and latitude. Another reason to support this is that the officer also reported finding a partial human skeleton and twelve other bones on the island. Being done with the analyzing and organization named TIGHAR and determined that the bones could have belonged to a tall women of European descent and Earhart was believed to be 5’8..Lastly according to the TIGHAR director Ric Gillespie stating “The reason for there being partial bones is because of the coconut crabs that lived there and that they may have eaten her.” Lastly, a teen named Betty Klenck claims that she heard a female voice arguing with a man on her radio saying, “This is Amelia Earhart help me.” Amelia Earhart's struggle could be all scripted and could coincide with the third theory. ConclusionThis theory is that Earhart was in cahoots with the U.S government and was indeed a spy. Speculations are that Earhart had a plan B which is that if she could not find the Howland island she would leave the plane near the Marshall islands.
