Why or why not? Could it have been mechanical errors and they crashed in an uninhabited area? Explain. What other reasonable possibilities could there be? Explain.
My personal theory on this event is that Emelia Earhart really did crash near an uninhabited island. The researchers have found a debris field of man made objects that seem to be part of a plane similar to Earharts. Its nearly impossible for them to be spies. The evidence is right there on that island.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Amelia Earhart? the evidence seems strong that she crashed or landed on the deserted Gardner Island. For one thing, no man would carry around a jar of cosmetics in a plane, and Amelia was the first woman pilot of her time. Also, plane parts matching with her same model were recovered, not to mention the photo that shows something resembling a plane's crash site beneath the water.
ReplyDeleteMy theory is that Amelia and her partner were flying when their plane inconveniently ran out of fuel. Since they were flying over water, I believe that they crashed into it and possibly drowned. Although plane crashes don't happen often, that is the most logical explanation for Amelia Earhart's death. Nobody knows for sure if she secretly landed, or drowned, which makes it so strange.
ReplyDeleteI do not believe the theory of Amelia Earhart working for the government to be accurate, because Amelia was on a fateful journey around the globe, not spying on Japanese-occupied islands in the pacific. I think it was a mechanical error and they crash-landed in the water near a uninhabited area. Other possibilities could be that they ran out of fuel and crashed. Or they couldn't see and crashed into the water, because they flew threw the Bermuda Triangle and was blinded by the clouds and ended up in the water.
ReplyDeletemy personal theory is that Amelia Earhart did crash into the water. i say this because that is really the only logical that nor her or the plane were found. there really isn't a way that they were spying on the Japanese because don't you think the Japanese would be able to find that out. also if they crashed on land the odds are there would have been witnesses to see it. that is my theory on Amelia Earhart.
ReplyDeletethe disappearance of Amelia was so strange and mysterious because she was a really famous women, then one day she is trying to fly around the globe and nobody here's from her again? that's the reason it is so strange. Amelia's disappearance was so intriguing because Amelia was a really famous and she knew what she was doing when she was flying, it doesn't make sense how she just disappeared when this girl knows how to fly. My theory on this is I think that she was flying and lost control and crashed or she was flying through a restricted air space and didn't know it and got shot down. she also could have just crashed into water and survived, but she was in a totally different country and just started her new life there.
ReplyDeletePersonally I think Amelia Earhart did crash on a Island and tried to survive. The evidence is overwhelmingly high. Like the many tools that were found on that island including objects used for cutting and purposely sharpened that way.
ReplyDeleteThe disappearance of Amelia Earhart is a strange and mysterious, for having someone famous disappear without any remains is always compelling. It's even more intriguing on this case for TIGHAR have recently found evidence that Amelia and her navigator might have survived the plain crash after all. They have found makeup and glass on an otherwise uninhabited island. I agree with the theory that the researches at TIGHAR have come up with; That Amelia emergency landed on a Japanese island and survived, for a short while, using broken glass to open fruit and trying their best to survive until the rescue team came.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe the theory of Amelia Earhart working for the US government. I think this because Amelia loved flying and that's why she learned how to and she wanted to explore the world not be a spy for the US government. I think the plane either ran out of fuel or had a mechanical error so they had to try and land. I think they tried landing near the closest island but crashed in the water near the coast of the island. Then I think they used a raft boat or a large float able item to get to the island. I think they tried to survive on the island because of the evidence they found like the makeup and bones and pocket knife. It really couldn't have been anyone else because that island was uninhabited at the time. I think they ran out of food or water or they became sick and eventually both died.
ReplyDeleteAmelia Earhart's disappearance was strange and mysterious because known is for sure where and why it happened. However, although I am not sure exactly what happened, I think that the theory of Earhart working for the United States as a spy or undercover officer is a little far-fetched. This spy theory is far-fetched because usually I would think that the government wouldn't use someone famous as a spy because famous people stand out too much in a crowd. My personal theory is that Amelia disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle for whatever reason people disappear there.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Amelia Earhart did in fact crash off the coast of Gardener Island. The TIGHAR team found debris 600 hundred feet under the ocean that resembled a plane.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that she was working for the military though. I she was just flying around the world to prove a point to everyone else in America; men and women
There are many possibilities to how Amelia Earhart vanished. In my personal opinion, I do not believe she was working for the government. It's not a very possible hypothesis because people back then who cooperated with the government would know if she was undercover or not. To this day, no one has said anything factual to her being an undercover agent for the United States government. Now, a mechanical issue on the other hand sounds more accurate. If something was wrong with the plane, there would be no solution to fix it if they were over seas. The most believable reason to why Amelia Earhart and her plane went missing is they landed on an island due to low plane fuel. They most likely were stranded on the island and were trying to survive and died. Then again, there are many possibilities to how Amelia Earhart disappeared, and no one may ever know what happened exactly.
ReplyDeleteI do not think the theory of Amelia Earhart working for the U.S. government is very accurate. There are many types of evidence regarding the fact that Amelia died on an island, not working for the U.S. government. Researchers found remains of items they found on the island and believe they belonged to Amelia. I believe Amelia Earhart's plane crashed do to mechanical errors and landed in an uninhabited area. Researchers found evidence 600 ft. below sea level of what they believe is Amelia's landing gear. There can be many more possibilities on what might have happened. Some people believe Amelia Earhart died at sea which is reasonable considering the fact that researchers found parts of her plane there.
ReplyDeleteI think that Amelia Earhart probably crash landed onto Nikumaroro island and survived there for at least a month. The left over supplies such as makeup and even possible human bone fragments shows that at least someone was there. Researchers also found man made buildings. The possible crash site of Earhart's plane is 600 feet below the surface, but we still cant be too sure that the plane belonged to Earhart and Noonan on that fateful day.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Amelia and her partner ended up loosing control or running out of fuel. I think that because she knew how to fly a plane so she wouldn't randomly crash on an island or in the ocean. Even though plane crashes don't happen often, it's what makes the most sense. It is still a mystery on what had happened, no one knows if she landed somewhere or crashed. That is my theory on what happened to Amelia and her partner.
ReplyDeleteMy theory is that the plane was flying over Japaneses water and was shot down. The Japaneses were working on something at the time for world war 2. When they crashed into the ocean one of the two swam to the shore and lived for as long as they could. Even with out food or water they could not have lived for long.
ReplyDeleteMy personal theory is that Amelia Earhart and her partner crashed into the ocean. It does not seem logical that she was a spy. While the research team did find traces of a human being there, there is no proof that it was Earhart there. It is possible for someone else to be there. There is evidence of landing gear near where they believed she crashed. This is mysterious because there is evidence if Amelia being in both places. However, one of them could not have been her. The most reasonable explanation is that Amelia and her partner either lost control of their plane, or ran out of gas.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Amelia ran out of fuel and were forced to land on the nearest island Nikumaroro. They tried to survive with any items on them but the didn't have much because most objects went down with the plane. if researchers really found remainders of makeup and real human bones than it shows that someone was living there. The question is, was it really them?
ReplyDeleteI believe that Amelia Earhart pushed her plane to hard and after technical difficulties she wasn't able to control her plane. She would be able to make gas stops but maybe she just tried to hard to do something that wasn't bound to happen. Amelia and her partner may have survived on the island, but they sure didn't have enough resources on such a little island.
ReplyDeleteI personally think that Amelia landed/crashed on the island of Nikumaroro, and that she did live their until she met her untimely death. Since they found a makeup jar that Amelia wore, it is very likely that she landed there. They also found what might be a human bone fragment it is likely that it was Amelia's bone and makeup jar.
ReplyDeleteI think that Amelia and her partner didn`t land on a Japanese plane and were taken as prisoners.They probably ran out of fuel.Amelia was known as a pilot and not a spy so she probably wasn`t trying to spy on the Japanese.My theory is that Amelia Earhart and her partner Noonan did run out of fuel.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Amelia crashed into the waters surrounding Nikumaroro. A crash landing would make the most sense. Amelia was a very talented pilot. She most likely ran out of fuel and how to crash land in the location she was at. My theory is she had to crash land because she was out of fuel and had no other choice but to crash into the ocean. She was very skilled at flying and she had a person with that she could trust.
ReplyDeleteI think that what happened to Amelia was an accident. I don't think she was working with the government because there is lots of evidence that she is dead. Also, if she was a spy and got caught the people that caught her probably would of had lots of people know that the u.s government had people spying on their country. I believe that her plane crashed into the ocean and sunk because that is the most believable explanation and has the most evidence that proves that the plane crashed. Even though her plane was not found,does not mean that she did not crash. She was also flying in the bermuda triangle and that area is known for messing with planes and ships. The area could of messed with her plane, causing her to crash and be killed by the impact of the crash. I believe Amelia and her partners death was an accident.
ReplyDeleteI think that Amelia was flying and ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean. plane crashes don't often happen for no reason, Amelia probably drown in the ocean. it dose not make sense, no one knows what happened to Amelia. that is my theory on what happened to Amelia.
ReplyDeletei think that Amelia Earhart was not able to get control of her plane. i think that she could of been in a bad storm and that is how she could of maybe crashed. if she was a good at flying her plane then she should not of crashed. if she did crashed it could of crashed in the ocean then she plane should be under the water somewhere. i think she has died by being in a bad storm.
ReplyDeletemy theory about Amelia Earhart's plane disappearing is that she crashed the plane. the plane could have crashed in many different ways like fuel running out or machine malfunction. its interesting because its a mystery and no one knows what happened. also I think she landed on the gardener island and tried to survive. since a plane has been believed to be found 600 miles below the island.
ReplyDeleteMy personal theory on this event was that Amelia Earhart and her plane had mechanical problems. I think it ran out of fuel or something got torn off the plane. Because of this I feel that because of mechanical problems, the plane crashed into the ocean. All in all, I feel that the reason Amelia Earhart and her partners plane sank into the ocean was because of mechanical problems or something got torn off.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Amelia Earhart was a U.S. spy. I believe she crash landed by an uninhabited island called Nikumaroro. They found a debris field 600 feet below the ocean surface right by the island. Both Amelia and her navigator swam to shore in which they survived for a few years. There are traces of fires and tools on the island. The tools were used to make shelter and find food, and the fire was used to keep warm at night. Overall, the plane could have crashed due to a mechanical error, and Amelia and her navigator both died instantly.
ReplyDeleteMy theory is that Amelia ran out of gas while flying over the ocean and couldn't make it all the way to land but were close. They landed in the ocean, took what they could before it sunk, and swam to shore. While they were on the island they made a fire, hunted for food with a gun and knife, but they didn't live for a long time because they found bones that might have been human bones. Amelia lived as long as she could without very much food and water.
