what happend to amelia earhart after her last flight?

Question

well what really happend to her but like what you think happend to her

Answer 1

she probably crashed into the ocean somewhere. sorry, but i'm a very realistic person.

Answer 2

She disappeared without a trace on her last flight. Want to know what happened to her? Well, you tell me and we'll both know. There are theories aplenty. If she landed on an island in the South Pacific at the time, she was likely taken prisoner by the Japs, and executed. I know, the war wasn't hot then, but as a Vietnam vet, I know the jungle has its own rules. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that theory was fact. Unfortunately, there's no proof. Bodies decompose so quickly in the jungle, even if investigators had gotten into the exact place back in the '30's when all this went down, they might not have found a trace even in that long ago time. The jungle devours bodies faster than you can possibly imagine. I've seen flesh falling off dead bodies after as little as 8 hours in a jungle environment. The jungle doesn't waste any time claiming its victims. As for my own personal theory, I think she probably went down at sea. There's not much land in the South Pacific. Her chances of making landfall would have had to be even less than my chances of wining the state lottery! Given the fact that nobody had the recources to launch the kind of searches back then that are so commonplace today, it's hardly surprising than nobody ever found so much as an oil slick to indicate the spot of her demise. Nevetheless, people love to believe in conspiracy theories, and legends die hard. That's why she's still a legend, even after the passage of all these years.

Answer 3

No one really knows but I believe due to failure and also unfamiliarity with certain navagation equipment they crashed into the Pacific or landed elsewhere than Howland Island, it is suggested that maybe they landed on unihabitated Gardner Island in the Phoenix Islands chain which is about 300 miles south of Howland and if that is the case, with no help available and limited fresh water and food available if they didn't crash into the Pacific they certainly perished awaiting rescue. I also don't buy any of the theories that suggest she was captured by the Japanese near the Mariana Islands and Saipan specifically and executed as a spy....it was 4 years before the war, it doesn't make any logical sense. All of the above is just my opinion.

Answer 4

In 1937 she set off in a Lockheed Electra on a round-the-world flight with navigator Fred Noonan. She documented the effect of prolonged flight on the human body and made mechanical tests on the aircraft. The journey was relatively uneventful until on the last stage of the flight the plane disappeared near Howland Island in the Pacific without trace. Before her departure she said to a friend "If I should bop off, it'll be doing the thing I've always most wanted to do." In a letter to her husband which he received only after her death she wrote: "Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others."'

Answer 5

No one knows for sure ... but a lot of fiction has been generated from the various theories.

Being a "Trekker" I've always liked the STNG one where she, and other famous historical figures, were spirited away to another planet.

And then of course, there is the Autobiography of Santa Claus ... where he asked her to join his group after mapping out efficient flight plans of the pacific.

Anyway, just a lighter answer to your question!

Answer 6

First of all, I do not know. I have read that after she took off from her last known place, her compass might have failed, and she and her flying partner had to rely on "dead reckoning" to know where they were to go next. So they flew "straight ahead" in the direction that they knew they were to go to reach the small Pacific island where they were headed next. At the end of that distance in that direction, there was nothing under them.

Answer 7

Due to the timing of her disappearance, I personally agree with the camp that feel that she fell into Japanese Army hands as was quietly dealt with as a suspected spy.

That or the Martians.

Answer 8

The most likely answers are that she was captured and executed by Japan for spying or that she crashed into the ocean. Either way, she died.

Answer 9

Nobody knows for sure. I think she crashed into the ocean, personally.

Answer 10

There is strong evidence that she may have crashed on an island and died there.
