[TheMakodude]

i she crazy she is going to travel the whole world i heard

[JamiseKelly]

at 0:25 you see the smoke coming out the airplain? That is what made her not hear the radio

[TheBubbleChews]

at 1:27 you could see smoke. That means the back of the plain where you could contact people fell off. That means that when she got lost she couldn't contact or hear anyone. She got lost and died In a island.

[vdub2002]

@TheBubbleChews do what?



[TheBubbleChews]

@vdub2002 If you dont have that it means your radio cant work

[PersistentResistance]

Is this the Hawaii first attempt or the the one from New Guinea? Im doing a senior project on her and i want to know this.

[bsable1965]

@PersistentResistance Lae New Guinea-The second one

[vdwlanimalsrus101]

This video was extremely bad and had no sound. I was hoping to show my class something for their project but no sound. TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!

[joshortiz543]

@vdwlanimalsrus101 Listen, it was 1937 not many people could really afford something with recordable sound you want a good video?! Go build a time machine and fucking tacke a camcorder you bastard

[freddygotfingered23]

@vdwlanimalsrus101 you were able to actually see the video. who the fuck cares about sound? plus, it's old. put music over it or something for fucks sake.

[rangers94ism]

@vdwlanimalsrus101 They didn't have microphones on the cameras back then. Did you know that the sounds of explosions in all of those WWII footages were added in later? Use this footage next time.

[7Lukibi99Tore7]

The puff of smoke that appears under the tail section of Amelia Earhart's airplane in this film footage may not have been the airplane's radio antenna breaking off the underside of the airplane. In a book about Amelia Earhart's disappearance titled "Amelia Earhart: The Mystery Solved" written by Elgen and Marie Long which was published in 1999, the authors state that a device that released smoke was used to alert Amelia Earhart as to when she was half-way down the runway.

[poljana]

If all the scientific eveidence proves that she did infact make it to Nikumaroro Island it only proves further that she was infact the best pilot of her time! That would obviously mean she never really crashed and she landed safely, probably on fumes if not gliding.

[TheBookWorm1718]

@poljana A book was published 2 years ago called Amelia Earhart: The Thrill of It, and talks of evidence found that suggested she and Noonan DID survive the crash and lived on the island for a few days following, after that, it's anyone's guess.

It's a good book, it also talks about, among other interesting things, when she was in school, she petitioned to have her teacher replaced, and when that didn't happen she opted out of the class and got credits for reading in the library instead.

[MySweetRemedy1]

I wish that I could travel back in time and tell her about everything...Or even go on the plane....I realllly want to know the answer to this mystery soo bad! It troubles me lol...I watched the Amelia movie too..Loved it

[MrCraig1930]

I was 7 years old when the news about her plane was missing came to the Theater News Reels.

[kh2hbTV]

These days it would be easy to find her Electra - it would be the one covered with ads for Verizon, Blackberry, BP, Burger King, Taco Bell, Delta, bling-bling and you name it. Think about how commercialized everything has become! Awful!

But to the antenna comment - They think it was damaged on takeoff and they can tell from this video, but I'm not sure what to look for or even if this video has the resolution to find it.

[riproren001]

I thought she had removed the trailing antenna cable voluntarily to reduce weight and take more fuel, much to her husbands dismay.. it weighed about 100lbs or so..

[deftdrummer]

Thanks so much for posting this! was looking for. I was looking for evidence of the antenna falling off the back of the aircraft, but I didn't see anything.

[vinylloung]

@CustomVideoMusic yes, she abandoned on an island and died, people are searching that island right now

[bukibby]

- i don't know lol like i did alot of research there is proof a women was on the island and alot of things that we're on the plane they found there. idk.

[bukibby]

- a direct family member of earhart will provide a sample of mitochondrial DNA. on Dec. 11, 2010 @ 9pm eastern time on Discovery channel they will show a 2 hour special on Amelia Earhart and their findings. hopefully they do find something about this whole mystery and Amelia whereabouts will no longer be unknown! :) amelia is seriously a big ideal to me and i look into this mystery ALOT!

[AmeliaEarhart2]

@bukibby SO cool! I'll have to watch that! :D sounds like the advances in science are really gonna solve this mystery! I do think she's a big deal, but I miss ALOT of things about this Mystery! :(

[azkadelialover]

@bukibby me to what is ur theroy of what happened?

[bukibby]

@azkadelialover i honestly think she might of really crashed onto that island. 

[azkadelialover]

@bukibby  oh why do u think that is what happend?

[bukibby]

- gardner island (now called Nikumaroro island) is where they say they had landed and survived as castaways for several months. that is where they found bones belonging to a women but eventually lost the bones (how? which is beyond me) & several campfires there as well. just recently in june 2010 tighar went back on their 10 expedition and found over 100 things that could possibly lead up to amelia earhart .. they are going to test 10 of the items for DNA.

[AmeliaEarhart2]

a book i read or an artical i found on the web says that Noonan had a couple drinks at their last stop before they were lost. Amelia knew this but she pressed on anyways.

[mbblover]

this book said that howland island was wrongly charted and 6 miles wrong on amelia's and fred's maps! that's huge in a tiny speck of land in the pacific!

[mbblover]

as i was saying.... most people who know of the earhart lost flight, don't even know unless they have read books or seen the recent movie, that earhart decided to go the different, much more difficult route last, if she had stuck with her orginal route she would have made it easy!

recent book i read was very detailed, but i still wasnt' quite sure where the authors thought amelia went down at and how far from howland she was? anywhere from 20 to 50 miles, but which direction? as it turns out

[mbblover]

i've always wondered why didn't she just go the orginal route around the world? read some books on this and no one ever makes mention of why amelia just had to change course besides the weather excuse, i guess there was the publicity issue and money was running out, but she was fricking amelia earthart i'm sure somewhere and somehow money would have come in from somewhere to afford them to remain afloat until she could make the original flight plan! so instead she takes the hardest route?

[tbursee]

I've seen pretty convincing evidence that she was captured and killed by the japs. What incentive would they have to cover that up? We've already had Pearl Harbor.

[jpd782]

@tbursee Maybe they did. I've heard that as well. Among other theories But..She supposedly died in July 1937. Pearl Harbor took place December 7, 1941. Is that what you meant? When you said, "We've already had Pearl Harbor"

[tbursee]

@jpd782 right . In other words , what incentive would they have had to capture and kill her? Obviously , ahe had to have been tired, hungry, and lost. How much of a threat could an umarmed 120 pound american woman and a drunk navigator have been?

[dementis93]

@tbursee Actually, they found her body on an island, with her navigator - she'd landed there upon running out of fuel and just lived there until she died.

[tbursee]

@dementis93 Well I have seen testimony of of veterans , too old to lie, say that they saw the plane destroyed, found soem paper work from her plane in a safe, and was told by natives of Saipan, about two white people that fell from the sky , and where they were burried.

[dementis93]

@tbursee We weren't at war with Japan at the time, though. We weren't at war with Japan until the forties, and she went missing in 1937. They would have had no reason to do so. The Japanese are people too, and I don't think they'd want to waste their time on one harmless American woman.

[tifm279]

probably if there was more evidence they would have been able to figure out where amelia earheart probably went or if she was alive or not but i am interested in this i wonder if some of the old videos might have some small clues....

[safetychoice]

Great footage. Thank you so much. Did you notice what a hard time they had getting off the ground? Was that plane ever loaded down with fuel!

[dontmesswithbill23]

What an amazing adventurer she was. Perhaps her greatest legacy was demonstrating that a person can accomplish so much more than "normal life" typically affords. And as a special example to the world's young women.

[laughingtiger123]

bet she was a really cool person. But.... as a pilot, she crashed and died... evn with the help of a another pilot on board. Shame.

[MsFrankie98]

Thank you for posting this, yes I'm sure it was hard to find

[gapretos]

awesome!!!! what a courageous woman



[Chetan376]

hii

[spitfireJEJ]

@justingirl451 Deceased.  Anyone who thinks othewise has a lot of proof to provide.

[3carolinelukeify]

@justingirl451 ?

[irishballetdancer]

@justingirl451

[glittergloss255]

@justingirl451 she is dead

[Jskills4ever]

does anyone has a update about amelia earhart? is she dead r alive?

[Fantasygold2]

@Jskills4ever She's probably dead anyway now since otherwise she'd be over 100 years old.

[chipsotool]

im not supprised . i mean with the price of petrol an all

[beaglelala]

she was suppost to land and get fuel but she never arrived.

[JZLuver99]

Creepy!

[BigglesBast09]

If anyone is interested in the mystery of the disappearance of Amelia Earhart & Fred Noonan, I recommend reading "Amelia Earhart The Mystery Solved " by Elgen & Marie Long

[emoviebuff87]

God Bless You, Amelia!!!

[EmmyKami]

I saw this place; Ford Island, Hawaii when I was on a trip at Pearl Harbor. It was amazing and freaky at the same time. Just to think that that this was the.last.place.she.was.seen. o_O Amazing!

[tindog13]

If this is footage from her last flight, and it looks correct, it is not Ford Island, Hawaii. She took off from Lae, Papua New Guinea, destined for Howland Island on her way to Hawaii.

[EmmyKami]

Hmm. Cause she had a crash at Ford Island, and that's the place I saw. If I'm correct, she left Hawaii THEN to New Guinea.

[tindog13]

Well sort of, the long way around. After the crash at Luke Field on Ford Island, the plane went through 3 months or extensive repairs, then went to Florida and the second attempt at flying around the world started from there. She went almost all the way around the world from there before reaching PNG.

[tannermay1000]

it wasnt the bermuta triangle, thats in the Atlantic ocean

[MamoDad]

Wrong, fishrsim6.

She crossed the Atlantic in a Vega and the round-the-world trip in an Electra, which is a vintage twin engine aircraft.

There are no surviving Vegas and there are only ten Electras left in the world.

[fishrsim6]

You are sooo right about the aircraft type.

[fishrsim6]

However, according to FAA records there are still 5 Vegas registered in the united stated. There is one Vega 1 and four Vega 5s still registered. That doesn't include aircraft in museums of which there are at least three.

[tindog13]

The plane in this video is definitely the Twin tail Electra.

[FlyinRyans35]

such an awsome plane she had. A Lockheed electra. Wish I had one

[Stargeek25]

Amelia Earhart is one of my favorite aviators along with Jimmy Doolittle. Its sad that she never got to finnish traveling arround the world. As I observed this film closey, doesnt anyone see smoke coming out of the left engine at 27 seconds? I know for certain its not the landing gear unless of course I could be mistaken.

[usairforcerules]

Thats nt smoke its dirt when the wheel bounced

[MYSTERY4575]

i got a fake pic of her

[goatgirl4life]

I think that she partied on a island somewhere until she died but I don't think that she died.

[scoobydoobyquack607]

i think it is the bermuda triangle

[angelholley12222222]

i have always admierd Amelia Earhart and always will i just hope that shes still alive and we can figure out this mystery about her,Fread Noonon, dna the Electra!! :)

[horselover398]

i think she is old still alive somewhere lol

[TurquoiseDancer]

this is amazingly sad. Thank you so much for the video. i am doing a report on Amelia Earhart this will he help A LOT

[steffidude]

Through blinding fog in the North Atlantic, across the vast, dazzling expanse of the South Pacific, into the strange harbors and along the mountainous coast lives the memory of of Amelia Earhart and her Lockheed Electra.

[1nami11ion]

I think it is sooo baffeling that no 1 is FOR SURE about what happened!!!

???

[steffidude]

I strongly believe she was the prettiest woman who ever lived.

[1nami11ion]

...so do i~

Naturally too~

[Foo3112]

@steffidude On the inside... no one comes closer :)

[ironiccliche]

Thanks, she was an amazing woman.
