Group: Earhart Died on Remote Island

Legendary aviator Amelia Earhart most likely died on an uninhabited tropical island in the southwestern Pacific republic of Kiribati, according to researchers at The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery. Artifacts recovered by TIGHAR would suggest that Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, made a forced landing on the island's smooth, flat coral reef and eventually died there.

And she's alive and well living on an atoll in the Pacific with her island husband and 16 children, 47 grandchildren and 29 great grandchildren. When contacted by researchers she said "get me out of here! What took you so damn long???"
She is being flown back to Los Angeles as this report was written.

If they can't come up with a Birth Certificate to prove she wasn't born in Kenya-it's not her!

The number of times Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan's flying craft and/or bits and pieces of them have been discovered, retrieved, and slipped back into oblivion...

What were Amelia and Fred flying, anyway, the Battlestar Galactica?

"I saw Elvis at the ULTRAMART yesterday."

That's nothing.

Tuesday, I saw Jimmy Hoffa just laying around.

I love him to pieces!

Why didn't she stop to ask for directions?

Ever since I first heard about her as a child, I never understood how this is a big mystery.

The plane went down way before it wanted it to and then she died.

Talking cartoon dogs solve much bigger mysteries than this.

This story does not jive with a recent PBS special about Amelia. They had experts testify that her arrogance led her to override the navigators last course change to put them between two islands (increaseing their chances of seeing one of them) but she overrode him and headed straight for the destination, missed it and ran out of gas circling looking for their destination island.

At least they put to bed the theory that the Japanese army captured her and executed her and burned the plane.

Well,I say she was on the grassy knoll.

If they would have had some great navigators like Magellon or Captain Bligh on board she would have been OK.

Well Lisa, could you please let the FBI know so they stop digging up farms and basements in Detroit.

Its a waste of overtime and it makes them look dumb.

I will never understand the public's fascination with these types of supposed "tragic" events. In a rational world, there would have been a one paragraph write-up on page 6 in 1937 with the following headline:

"Thrill-seeking Narcissist Dies in High-risk Stunt"

When some drunk asshole gets behind the wheel of car and kills a kid, that's a tragedy.

When some idiot flies an airplane over the ocean without adequate fuel to cover all possible contingencies and dies as a result, that's just Darwin at work.

This is all BS. Earnhardt died in Daytona back in 2001. I was there man. It was gnarly.
