DID Amelia Earhart survive her plane crash? This is the most likely theory, with evidence emerging that she was making contact for days after her plane disappeared.
The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) believes Earhart safely landed her plane when it disappeared in 1937 and died as a castaway.
During a presentation in the US last month, TIGHAR’s Ric Gillespie backed up all of the group’s theories.
Earhart’s plane was last seen on the radar on July 2, 1937.
After becoming the first woman pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, she embarked on a mission to fly 47,000km around the world.
But on July 2 1937, four months after beginning her trip, she found herself in trouble.
She was flying at 375m looking for Howland Island, southwest of Honolulu, but was low on fuel.
It is believed she was not as close to the island as expected so she safety landed on another island, believed to be Nikumaroro, also known as Gardner Island, which is surrounded by a reef and about 640km southeast of Howland Island.

Well, yeah -- I've noticed in past vocations, that the donations of clothes are mostly women's, with some children's, and the men's donations are typically out of estates. I don't know about you, but I wear clothes until about 20 years after they no longer fit, or until they are too worn to be, uh, worn any longer. :^)
