“She either crashed in the ocean or on an island.”
This has always been mildly interesting to me as my mom was an aviator in the 40s. The burning question about why is there no evidence of Earhart and Noonan’s remains was addressed once in a speculative video that suggested that they crashed close to an island and managed to crawl to shore. Without food or fresh water they soon expired.
The ‘no remains’ part was answered by suggesting that crabs consumed the bodies. To prove this point the researchers that made the video placed a hog carcass on the beach and recorded what happened. The crabs literally ate every molecule of the hog carcass - hair, skin, bones, everything in very short time, less than a day or two.
Bet the hog didn’t sign up for the gig.
