Scientist '99 percent’ sure bones found belong to Amelia Earhart

Jantz says the subpubic angle is the most reliable of Hoodless’ criteria, but even that is “subject to considerable variation, much of which was little understood in 1941.”

Perhaps he's trying to find a nice way of saying that Earhart had a mannish build.

[ClearCase_guy]

Doesn’t really sound like settled science to me.

[hanamizu]

The bones have been ‘lost’ for likely all of Jantz’s lifetime. Yet he is ‘sure’ that people who actually saw and handled the bones are wrong and he is right.

Not according to the photos I'VE seen.

Amelia Appealsya to ME.

(Bad attempt at humorous ryme)

The picture of Earhart and her co pilot on a peer says they are all wrong. They became POW

[ETL]

Can’t they do a DNA comparison with her living relatives?

[FirstFlaBn]

Your understanding of that photo is as good as your spelling. That picture appeared in a prewar book published in Japan. Try to catch up on the news before saying dumb stuff.

And died on Saipan. Numerous reports described her in the years following the war.

She’s living with Elvis somewhere in Texas. Paul Allen off to find her aircraft.

Last video before her crash

Maybe there’s something we didn’t know about zer.

[BenLurkin]

Interesting

I never knew, but the image of Amelia in my memory is lopsided ... all I have are panted aviator images .... so I went looking and by golly, almost every photo IS a panted aviator .... and stuck in that mess was this clip.

I STILL think she was hot, and she loved the camera, but I believe she scared the JIT out'a men and I think that hurt her.

All this amateur psychoanalysis ... maybe I'M crazy.

Ah yes. The feminist ‘hero’ whose major achievement was getting lost. She’s got plenty of female company.

[Deplorable American1776]

Maybe they found bones of someone else! Amelia Earhart was a leader as far as women flying, however i wonder what she thought of the #MeToo movement, global warming and Hillary Clinton...

Naw it was JFK living in Texas with Elvis:

Shush - it’s a secret threesome of sorts. And yeah, saw the movie.

[Moonman62]

Ah yes. The feminist ‘hero’ whose major achievement was getting lost.

...

She was more of a daredevil than a pilot. There were major mistakes made on her last flight and it was doomed from the start. There was nothing but wide open ocean where she ended up.

The best sentence as usual is near the bottom of the article. Jantz is well past his prime and probably looking for some cheap attention:

Despite Jantz’s skepticism about the 1941 analysis of the bones, some modern scientists have backed up the Hoodless results.
