How did Amelia Earhart die?

Question

I really want 2 know.

Answer 1

At 08:00 GMT Amelia made her last radio contact with Lae. She reported being on course for Howland Island at 12,000 feet. There is no real evidence as to the precise track of the aircraft after Nukumanu. No one saw or heard the plane fly over.

Several short transmission were received by the Itasca with varying signal strengths but they were unable to get a fix on her location because they were too brief. At 19:30 GMT the following transmission was received from the Electra at maximum strength...

"KHAQQ calling Itasca. We must be on you but cannot see you...gas is running low..."

At 20:14 GMT the Itasca received the last voice transmission from Amelia giving positioning data. The Itasca continued to transmit on all frequencies until 21:30 hours GMT when they determined that Amelia must have ditched at sea and began to implement search procedures.

It has been determined that the plane went down some 35-100 miles off the coast of Howland Island. A life raft was stowed on board but no trace has ever been found the raft. Some experts felt that the empty fuel tanks could keep the plane afloat for a period of time.

President Roosevelt authorized a search of 9 naval ships and 66 aircraft at an estimated cost of over $4 million. On July 18 the search was abandoned by ships in the Howland area. George continued to seek help in the search, but by October he too abandoned all hope of finding them alive.

Amelia regularly sent letters to George at stops along her route. These were published in the book "Last Flight". On an endpiece of the book is a note from her to George...

"Please know I am quite aware of the hazards...I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others."

How Did Amelia Earhart Die

Answer 3

1937. Amelia Earhart wanted to be the first person to fly around the world. On June 1, 1937, Amelia and her navigator, Fred Noonan, began their flight. They flew from Miami, Florida, to San Juan, Puerto Rico, to South America, Africa, India, Burma, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, and New Guinea. They had completed over three-fourths of their trip. On July 2, they took off from Lae, New Guinea, on their way to Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean. Amelia knew this was a very difficult leg of the trip because Howland Island is only 2 miles long and less than a mile wide in the middle of the largest ocean. Amelia's plane never arrived in Howland Island, and it was never found. On July 3, Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan disappeared in the Pacific Ocean.

Answer 4

Amelia Earhart is dead. But there was never a body to be produced after tons of searching over the lands that she supposedly crashed. There was no trace of her at all.
So to read and see her and maybe a video/audio go to www.history.com and get the real deal.

Answer 5

Amelia Earhart is most famous for the mysterious circumstances of her death. As you may know she disappeared in 1937 somewhere in the South Pacific, near the end of an attempted round-the-world flight. Her presumed death was 2 July 1937 from a plane crash at sea.

Answer 6

I believe her and her co-pilot were shot down or forced down by the Japanese. If they survived the Japanese finished them. I haven't heard of storms in the area. The two were experieced pilots and they would have made sure the plane was in good working order and would have had the gas ups figured out at different places along the way. You don't plan a long flight like that without a plan.

Answer 7

Nobody knows for sure. She was lost in an attempt to fly around the world and never found.

Answer 8

her death is a mystery, her plane dissapeared on a trans global flight, and no one knows where she wound up. there is speculation that the Japanese captured her, she was from Kansas, by the way...so we do produce something other than prudish and retarded school boards and and the likes of phred felps.

Answer 9

There are several theories listed on this site based on radio communications and other evidence.

Answer 10

She was taking a trip in her airplane (i think she was trying to go around the world, or from the u.s. to europe nonstop or something), and she got lost and no one ever found her or her airplane.
