5200 square mile search area around Howland Island, her last known locale. No other plane like images reported? Not WWII battle areas. 16,000 ft down. Pretty exciting possibility. It was a top hatch plane. Never heard if they carried a life raft. It would have been difficult to deploy. So many theories, crackpot and otherwise. It would solve a big mystery. Now can you get excited? Sheesh.....
We don’t have anything that can reach 16,000 feet do we?
Her plane was strafed and set on fire and and then buried under Aslito airfield which is in Saipan, many WWii vets have come forward who were witness to it.
So what happened to Amelia if that’s the case?
Rodney Dangerfield almost got head from her, So there’s that….
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...? She's gone shootin..

We did. It self destructed while touring the Titanic!
He knew that they had her but could not do anything about it without going to war with them, remember this was before pearl harbor and things were already tense. He had the plane and all evidence distroyed because if ever word got out that he left America's sweetheat to die in captivity his legacy would have never survived. It must have been hell in the Roosavelt household since Amiela and Ellenore were best friends.
Great info. Thanks.

If the Japs seized the plane, how did FDR destroy it?
I'm not arguing for or against any theory but the Japs had Saipan too, before we took it away from them. IF the plane was stored in a hanger, and our troops found it, it's logical FDR could have ordered it destroyed.

They took the plane to Saipan, and when the US forces took over they island the plane was in a hangar at Aslito field which is now the Saipan airport. A GI who was a demolition expert blew up a safe that was in one of the Japanese headquarters on the island, and in the safe was Amelia's briefcase case with all her papers in it. It was handed over to some high ranking offcier and he and the briefcase wasnever to be seen or heard from again.

From the original link: "Deep Sea Vision says that it believes Earhart and her navigator got off track because they forgot to take into account the International Date Line leading them to be off target and crash into the ocean."
I'll be the first to admit I am no expert in navigation but can somebody explain what the IDL has to do with this?

The guy who owns the company is an Air Force Academy grad. He made his money in real estate and is now focusing on deep sea mapping. The submersible they use is rated to 6000 M.
Just googled, 32,000 ft Chinese manned. 35,000 world record by submersible.
Yep. And they did it way back in 1960.
Trieste (bathyscaphe)
Trieste is a Swiss-designed, Italian-built deep-diving research bathyscaphe. In 1960, it became the first crewed vessel to reach the bottom of Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in Earth's seabed. The mission was the final goal for Project Nekton, a series of dives conducted by the United States Navy in the Pacific Ocean near Guam. The vessel was piloted by Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard and US Navy lieutenant Don Walsh. They reached a depth of about 10,916 metres (35,814 ft).
Trieste shortly after her purchase by the US Navy in 1958.
