Has Amelia Earhart’s Plane Been Found in the Pacific?

Have some deep sea explorers found part of an 87-year-old mystery? The CEO of Deep Sea Vision says he believes his team has found the plane Amelia Earhart was flying when she disappeared. It took about three months of searching after re-analyzing her flight path. More exploration and imaging will need to be done to prove whether or not it was her plane, but this team says they’re hoping to bring closure to this story of an American hero. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

I won't get my hopes up, but if that's her plane, this is insane.

[TheWizardsOfOz]

That is amazing if they actually found the right plane.

It looks like a Lockheed Electra, but the fact that its all in one piece is odd

[burakoshimazaki]

No other flights were ever recorded to have been lost in this area of the Pacific according to reports, that is what separates this story from others in the past.

Still hoping this mystery can be solved.

Her last words to her husband were "you feed the dogs and I'll feed the fish".

I’ve seen this before, 10 times. Same story. Hope it’s legitimate this time.

That’s crazy, I never even knew there was real footage of her! She seemed to be such a genuine, soft hearted lady.

[artsfreak]

Hope they'll find her. Used to talk about her with my presentation when I was just a kiddo.

🌹 Salute to Amelia; may you soar the Heavenly skies eternally. R.i.p

[Fratricide]

every couple years someone claims they found her plane

[FDR-wwxz]

She’s a true American hero right there. RIP Amelia Earheart

The problem is this area was an active base for ww2 craft it could be any of the craft used by both Japan or American craft at that time also given the time drifting the frame of modern craft hundred of miles it’s very unlikely to be her last landing site

[tommyobannon]

I hope they find it and can give the family and fans some closure.

[StayGoldBooks]

Wow. If this is actually her plane that would be something remembered in history forever!

[armaggon]

And I just watched Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian, yesterday.

Where is the sonar image/blurred photo expert?

[charlotteg.]

It would be so insane if this team solved the mystery of where her plane went down!!

[louisavondart]

Everything I have heard before this has been that she landed her plane on a beach on Nikumaroro (formerly Gardner Island). She continued to send radio messages for days after the plane would have run out of fuel, had it continued flying. People heard those messages but were not taken seriously at the time. Unless high tides washed the plane off the beach into deep water, I doubt this is her plane. Time will tell.

If that is Amelia’s plane that is incredible
