1-15 In Search Of... Amelia Earhart (Part 1 of 3)

[dtjesus101]

2:11 mmmm...I'll bet her cock pit is very warm :-)

[david1513]

that air craft for that time was the most sound design there was two engine incase one failed and there where tryed and ture engines, best built air craft there where, later this type air craft was so good it was used as comercial air craft,

[david1513]

well thats one way to run away from your english husband and run away with your navagator, lmao, so thay hide out on a deserted island, JMO...! lol

[leedumett444]

the seabed, is where amelia, and noonan are.

[jamesedwardclard]

she didn't fly across the ocean alone, She had two experienced male pilots with her. Most of her reputation was based purely on hype

[LindMarcus]

She DID fly across the ocean alone, and not once: in 1932 across the Atlantic, and in 1935 from Hawaii to California. And she really did a good professional job in those flights and in many other ones. No "hype" can save you in a dark night in a small aircraft

alone in a bad weather over the ocean if you're not a good professional. Period.

[sriharithegreat]

was there audio available on those videos made in 1937? or is this voice morphed??

[angela12938]

they died on howland island and years later the rescue team found only her thumb bone

[Bruno47602]

A Greatist Woman!

[AmeliaEarhartReborn]

@Bruno47602  thank you!

[nerblebun]

20 years ago I worked at the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Several older Marshallese natives I met told me....when they were kids,they remember a blonde woman held prisoner on the island of Roi by the Japaneese military who occupied the islands at the time.It was the first white person they had ever seen.They said the Japaneese beheaded her.I might add... none of these natives had ever heard of Amelia Earhart.I accepted their story with a grain of salt,but found it very interesting.

[leedumett444]

amelia, noonan, and the plane are at the bottom of the ocean, but people think they could have been castaways on a island. her last communication said she was low on fuel, and she was flying at 1000 feet, so its doesn't take a genius to work out what happened next. they crashed into the pacific ocean.

[ghostofjamie]

@leedumett444 I am pretty sure they have searched the ocean. I mean just recently they discovered a plane from world war 2. they could have discovered her plane by now.

[mljhnr1]

At 2:32 is that the Queen Mary ship?

[Standrew777]

@mljhnr1 i'm not sure..... the Queen Mary Ship is A little more modern then that ship, even know it was around the Same time

[kh2hbTV]

Why is it so hard for people to accept the obvious? She ran out of fuel and her navigator had a drinking problem. They were trying to find a speck of sand on a beach with equipment that was very primitive by today's standards.

Under the best conditions they may have had a 50-50 shot, but they took the risk and lost. That's all there is to it.

If they come up with some super-advanced systems for deep undersea recovery, maybe they'll find her craft - maybe.

[cliffyknight]

This show used to scare me but damn what good memories.

[jonitaJakse]

Most excellent Asian lady **busizz4me.info**

[MsOrdonez2010]

I first heard of her today while i was looking at the news on the frontier home page. History stuff has always caught my interest like titanic. This is sad just the same. I think she eather survived on that island or went down into the atlantic, eather one sounds probable. All the other rumors dont sound likely.

[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.

[HANDOG361]

i wish i got to meet her amilia earhart is my grandmals sister

[CarleyCastro]

@HANDOG361 awww. whats your grandmothers name?



[HANDOG361]

@CarleyCastro im meant great grandmal

[MsOrdonez2010]

@HANDOG361

Your family then to amelia earheart then arent you? Thats great to have a family member who has touched so many hearts the way she did. I am sorry you didnt get to meet her though.

[HANDOG361]

@MsOrdonez2010 ohh its ok...but im glad i got to my great grandmal

[MsOrdonez2010]

@HANDOG361

well in hope they find out what happened to her. Then her legacy will continue and she will rest in peace.

[MrChrisownz1]

i woundered how she died

[Memphiss322]

she was becoming bigger than the us government they had to do something my ass she just disapears outta then air, common sense people, she also fought for women rights which back then men were afraid "i fly better than i was dishes" she had money she had power from the look of things not enough power

[iNightFlight]

if i would have died tomorrow (god forbids) the 1st question that will come to mind on asking god is: where is amelia earhart?

[sprawlmessiah]

@iNightFlight or who really shot Kennedy?

[AussiesRock72]

how much do the yanky government cover up and lie there a joke to the world

[laicoshn]

I watched this series like 30 years ago. But the programs were in spanish. I always have in mi mind the introduction of this chapter: "En busca de....Amelia Earhart". That was a good show. Amelia Earhart was a brave woman.

[AniLife1]

This is really interesting! I love Amelia Earhart and i`m really suprised that you guys do to!

[atomicwendy]

I miss this show

[pomarroc]

the teacher wanted us to reserch amelia earhart in the computer lab

[lostinerinworld]

She seemed so modest and personable! She was a true hero and idol!

[NAMTRIP]

Its no mystery,she missed Howland island,and ran out of fuel,and dumped it in the ocean,and thats all she wrote.Plain and simple.

[Nightwithe]

I too think this is the case

[arei18]

i think amelia earhart was one of the bermuda triangles victims. coz it's sp imposible that a person dissapears that fast without knowng what really happened to her. if her plane crash, then there's a possibility for them to locate her but suddenly no outcomes.. so i think bermuda triangle has something to do with it. just like the dissapearance of flight 19.

[45961]

I know where Amelia is

[physictoaster]

We'll all know when we die.

[4everHarleys]

really?  I disagree.

[kryptonian541]

amelia earhart & fred noonan vanished somewhere over the pacific ocean on july 2, 1937.the U.S. government mounted the largest rescue mission in history but no evidence of the electra was found.the fate of amelia earhart has intrigued the world for generations. we may never know what happend to amelia & fred.....only god knows.

[greeniem]

@kryptonian541 God said simply, " Arby's Roast Beef Sale." :O

[angelbaby110]

@kryptonian541  god does know and god wanted that that probably to happen.

[FireitupBedford]

@kryptonian541 If they can find the titanic they will find her one day...

[Timerus]

@FireitupBedford Negatory on that. Human Bodies wil rot and therefore if her body was on the island, and died there, the chance of finding the skeleton will be slim to none for various reasons. One, crabs and other land creatures might temper with the remains. Two, the ocean waves might carry it away. Or if they didn't crash on an island but in the ocean, the bones are drifting away, the titanic, however, was just luck. Metal does not rot away as fast as flesh.

[scottieman2]

I wish they had this back on the History Channel.

[SIRSMITH08]

linburgh n amelia could have been brother n sister they look the same !! WAIT , WHAT THE ?? coooould they be the same person OMG !

[WestVirginiaRebel]

She was found by Captain Janeway in the Delta Quadrant, dont'cha know : )

[Ccrazyfella]

BTW, I LOVE the background music!

[Ccrazyfella]

She encountered a space-time rift like a cut in a curtain. She is alive or dead of old age in an alternate reality.

[Music93Angel]

I think that Amelia husband was jealous of hgun was so famous,

So I think that her husband gave money to make her disappear!

He will not have that she was so famous so he chose to get her away

[Music93Angel]

Note in 3:39 that they do not look at each other when they talk with hianden they look different directions ...

[jhunted7667]

thats not what happened , she was asked to do some spy work for the US military she was forced to land on the beach of one of the small islands in the marshall Island chain she tried to call for help but the tide came in she had no gas and had to abondon the plane the Japanese captured her they towed her plane past the reef and let it sink into not to deep of water , you can immagine what happened to her a white women in their hands they killled them so as not to go to prison after the war

[WatchingVideosOnly]

her husband was the one to make her famous -.-

[MrDroberts24]

sobored 1827. How does someone have a pretty laugh? Just curious, that's like saying someone has a pretty sneeze or birp. Now it wouldve made more sense if you said pretty voice, but since her voice is so weird sounding you said something as weird as her voice when you said she has a pretty laugh. WTF.

[MrDroberts24]

Ok people, one things for certain: She wasn't an american spy. 3 reasons as to why that's just ludacrous. 1. She wasn't trained to do something of magnitude like that. 2. She was just a civilian. 3. Thats what the military is for. Think people. A civilian to spy on a country?

[jhunted7667]

don't bet on it , she would do anything for her country , you want proof her plane rests in not so deep waters off one of the small islands of the marshall island chain where the Japs towed it what kind of life would a women have after being a captive of the Japs , I feel bad my blood boils to think of an american female in the hands of the enemy especially after what the Japs did in Manchuria in 1936 to the women there

[MrDroberts24]

wheres the proof about her plane. And what are you basically saying. If her plane is in not so deep water, y isn't she in it to. How could her plane be in water if your saying japs towed it! Unless your saying her plane was moved from one spot to another. Or r u saying her plane crashed in the water she somehow got out of the plane and escaped the water? And then what happened next? What happened to noonan?

[jhunted7667]

she landed the plane on beach stripp when the tide came she gave up calling for help he plane partially floated the japs showed up the dragged her plane off the reef and allowed it to sink they took her prisoner along with her navigator ,

[abductedbyaliens8892]

theres 4 things possible, she was shot by the japanese, and plane went down the ocean, she disapperead in another dimesion, devils triangle, shes alive, or lived and died from old age, or she was abducted by aliens.....

[sobored1827]

It woulve been a pleasure to meet her....she's pretty funny and has a beautiful laugh =)

[muttilo]

Legend !

[applesweeter]

Dear All,

I have some curious questions:

(1) Since the first aeroplane was invented by Wright Brother in 1903, what does flying means to our society and the world?

(2) What is aviation and flying means to female?

(3) Why do ladies love flying, including me?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

P.S. I am a lady who enjoy flying.

[scottieman2]

I don't think we'll ever know what happened to her and the man.

[Music93Angel]

i think we all ready know but we dont trust it!!!

[scottieman2]

Yep. :(

[45961]

@scottieman2

yes then they played with her dirty parts

[MyMerlin1]

Amelia Earhart was an extremely bad pilot. She never knew how much fuel she needed also she never knew where she was , she had no sense of direction.

[jmack619]

bad news guys , she's dead , and life goes on . why don,t you deal with the real issues on the planet

[muttilo]

Yeah life goes on , so what . It's a mystery some people are interested in ...What's your beef ? Would you prefer people here to be having some Poison Barbed Political hate-debate or something . I' m sick of that . Amelia fsacinates me .

[jmack619]

no , your right, you have the right to be fascinated by the subject of your choice. andso do I , I'm particularly fascinated by what fascinates people these days, ie sports and sports heroes, reality tv, rape/murder/dna shows,, etc, meanwhile thousands of kids starve to death daily, (no focus)

[gmccord1970]

Very big ocean, very little plane.

[CristinaFernandez]

You know what jinxed her? Amelia Earhart's 'round the world flight took off from Hialeah, Florida, the "New Jersey" of Miami. If anything counts as a bad start...!

Now, the idea she was taken by the Japanese on Saipan is just silly. Amelia Earhart was just as famous among the Japanese as in the United States.

Really, there's no mystery here. Unfortunately, she probably crashed in the huge Pacific Ocean.

[gmccord1970]

You know what they say..."nothing ever good happens in New Jersey."

[muttilo]

There was no cockfighting and Guayaberas back then

[tvargan]

Of all famous "missing people" (except perhaps Jimmy Hoffa) Earhart is perhaps the least mysterious.

The practicalities of doing what she tried to do, in a light aircraft, mean that all things considered it is likely she simply crashed in the Ocean. Sorry.

[scottieman2]

Amilia could have just crashed or got captured or something. With Hoffa, he was in that restaurant and disappeared. How is that possible that no one saw where he went? What direction?

[tvargan]

Hoffa "disappeared" , but his fate is almost certainly death by one of several potential groups.

He was last seen in the car park (parking lot) and then "disappeared." He almost certainly left with someone he trusted , who then betrayed him, had him killed and then disposed of the body.

It's possible people did see him leave, and were afraid to talk- or it's possible he simply wasn't noticed driving off.

"Who killed him" may remains a mystery, but WHAT happened to him does not.

[scottieman2]

True. It would be a good who done it movie or book.

[Femilip]

Amelia and her plane haven't been found. I'd say that is pretty mysterious

[tvargan]

Not when you consider the size of the Ocean.

[gnolti]

You cannot prove that Earhart was not simply spirited away by aliens.

[tvargan]

Or even, that she was one herself? Perhaps she just.... went home.

Seriously though.

Plane crashed into the sea, plane sinks , bodies eaten. The end.

[haroof]

lol exactly.

it's just people's obsessive need to romanticize everything.

[FlyinRyans35]

Amelia Earhart IS the most famous missing person

[Alex74740]

The lockheed Electra was a pasenger aircraft

Was it not ....... I think she ran out of fuel,(unsucsesfully) water ditcht the aircraft and died on impact.......

[sheplaysajag]

Regular production models were, but hers was modified to hold extra fuel in the fuselage increasing fuel capacity from 200 gal to 1200 gal. However, your theory is probably the most likely. Maybe one day we'll know the absolute truth.

[rageohol]

its a shame they didnt use the old 70s beginning...i remember that creeping me the hell out as a kid...this one is all updates and flashy..the original (with the same narration) was all dark and scary...(for an 8 year old)

[AmeliaEarhartReborn]

please see video

ameliareborn

Thank you!

[neilnils]

Cool song. Pertaining to the 'survival' theory, where in 1965 Admiral Nimitz did admit it was known and documented in Washington how Earhart ended up existing under the auspice of Japan after she was reported 'missing,' the question became: Would Japan, who in the 1930s regaled Amelia Earhart as a hero (Babe Ruth too) have allowed Amelia to die either by sickness or execution? OR, could another co-endorsed (U.S., Japan) solution have been achieved? The latter holds weight re: pre-WWII era.

[ragemanchoo82]

History Channel should have simply aired the originaly episodes, but they were afraid of them seeming "dated", with their bizarre (and cool) synthesizer music...
