Have researchers actually found Amelia Earhart’s long-lost plane? | BBC News
The mystery of what happened to Amelia Earhart’s plane when it went missing 87 years ago has baffled researchers for decades.
But one team believes they may have just found a clue.
Recent sonar imaging, which maps the ocean floor using sound waves, has led the researchers to what they claim is a small aircraft around 4,877m below the surface of the Pacific Ocean.
However, some experts aren't convinced this discovery actually is the missing plane.
The Lockheed 10-E Electra went missing near Howland Island in the north Pacific while Earhart and her copilot Fred Noonan were attempting to fly around the world.
