Some 75 years after Amelia Earhart’s plane disappeared, a new
discovery on the bottom of the ocean points to where the aviator may
have crashed — and died. (via tighar.org)
A debris field videotaped in the waters off Nikumaroro Island could
include remnants of the aviator’s plane — the latest batch of evidence
in what has been an ongoing search for clues (see the most notable Earhart discoveries from the last 75 years). According to the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR),
“a review of high-definition underwater video footage taken during the
recently completed Niku VII expedition has revealed a scattering of
man-made objects on the reef slope off the west end of Nikumaroro.”
Spearheaded by TIGHAR, the expedition began July 12 and used an
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) and a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV)
to scan for data and record hours of video footage
