HAVE RESEARCHERS FOUND AMELIA EARHART’S PLANE?

A. Researchers with the Earhart Project have released sonar images that, in their opinion,
show the remains of Earhart’s twin-engine plane Lockheed Electra lying 600 feet below sea
level off the coast of an island in the South Pacific. Amelia Earhart’s daring
round-the-world flight was cut short when her plane vanished on June 2, 1937. Though
rescue workers immediately began searching the area for signs of life, neither Earhart nor
the plane was found. The U.S. government concluded in a report that the pilots ran out of
fuel, crashed into the water and sank. But the question of why the plane went down remains
one of history’s biggest mysteries.

B. Since Earhart’s disappearance, a number of other hypotheses have come up. Some
theorists believe Earhart was actually working for the U.S. government. They suggest that
she intentionally went off course to spy on Japanese-occupied islands in the Pacific and
was taken prisoner. Far more likely is the popular belief that due to mechanical errors
Earhart was forced to touch down on an uninhabited South Pacific island called Nikumaroro.
During a 2010 expedition, researchers uncovered there some clues such as three pieces
of a pocketknife, shells that had been cut open, fragments of a glass cosmetic jar and bone
fragments that may be human remains.

C. Scientists think they may have found proof that Earhart and her navigator crashed their
plane and became castaways on the island. Working with a chemist, they have been testing
the recovered cosmetic jar fragments. Based on the high mercury levels found on the
surface, the substance once held in the jar has been identified as a brand of cosmetic used
to bleach skin and remove spots – something the freckle-faced Earhart was known to have
used. Even more intriguing to researchers is the fact that its fragments seem to have been
intentionally shaped for use as cutting tools.
