Deep-Sea Drone Discovers Amelia Earhart’s Plane Wreckage After 90 Years
Deep Sea Vision, a private exploration firm, claims it has discovered sonar images that may be the wreckage of pilot Amelia Earhart’s aircraft, which disappeared over the Pacific Ocean Nine decades ago.
Hazy sonar images taken by a deep-sea drone show a plane-like object around 160 km from Howland Island, matching the dimensions of Earhart’s Lockheed Model 10-E Electra.
Amelia Earhart, born in 1897, was a pioneering female pilot, renowned for her groundbreaking achievements, including being the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.
In 1937, Earhart & her navigator Fred Noonan vanished while attempting to refuel on Howland Island during their circumnavigation, leading to the most expensive search in American history.
