Many people believe that Amelia Earhart crashed into the ocean while flying a plane. Others believe she faked her death. Amelia Earhart was the first-ever female to fly solo across the Atlantic and the first-ever solo flight from Hawaii to the US mainland. Amelia was mostly known as the “missing pilot”, but she wrote books too. The Last Flight was her most famous book. She was just a pilot and an author just trying to achieve dreams.
Earhart and Noonan, her co-pilot, departed for their next refueling stop, on July 2. It was the last time Earhart was seen alive. Soon after she and Noonan lost radio contact with the U.S. Coast Guard. President Roosevelt called a massive 2-week search for the missing two, but they were never found. They were declared lost at sea on July 19, 1937. There were many theories about what happened to these poor souls. One of the main ones is that their plane ran out of fuel while looking for the island. They then crashed into the sea, sinking immediately. They were unable to escape in time, drowning in a heavy plane, without seeing their loved ones for the last time. Another theory is that she crashed landed on an island and lived here for a while.
There has been some talk that we have possibly found their plane. Nikumaroro Lagoon. A place in the middle of the ocean. An image suggests Amelia Earhart's plane is submerged at the Taraia spit in the Nikumaroro lagoon. Also known as Gardeners Island. Two brothers were on a mission to bring Amelia and Fred home by finding their final resting place. I believe that she had a failure while flying and had to make an emergency landing in the ocean. She tried to contact the coast guard but she lost connection. I only believe this because to me it's the only theory that makes sense and is the most realistic. The main theory is that she wanted to fake her death. But it doesn't make sense why she would.
What do you believe happened to Amelia? Do you believe most of the theories?

I like your topic choice Annabelle but you didn't reply to any student comments. This was also supposed to be posted last week.
I am not sure if I can believe those theories. The sea is huge and it hppend that planes crash and they never get find, and it is the same with ships. Her plane was also not the biggest which makes it even harder to find it. I just think that something happend to the plane and she fall over seas.
I believe she, along with her guide crashed at sea and died. I don't believe there is any conspiracy or best kept secret about her life after the crash. I find it wierd that people think she would have wanted to fake her death. She had it all.
As much as people can make conspiracy theories about how "she landed on some sort of hidden island", I think she crashed and passed away. It's a very morbid thought to think and say, but truth is a beautiful thing. I don't really believe theories like this
I think no one will find out what happended to her and Yes I do belive most of the theories
I personally think that nobody will actually every know what happened and there will just be new theorys about what happened. But I think that something did happen to the plane and that lead to the plane crashing where Amelia Earhart passed aways.
I think that she crashed over the open ocean and died, never to be found. I think that nobody will ever really know what happened to her and people are always going to have stupid theorys because its more fun to just guess then to actaully know the truth.
I think something happend to the plane and they had to make and emergency landing and then crashed. I don't believe that she faked her death because she had no reason to and I don't think the plane ran out of fuel because they just refueled the plane.
I think that Amelia Earhart crashed and died during or right after the crash. I think that they just crashed into the ocean and started sinking right away, the time anyone would have got to them they would have been to far under to ever know. I do not think she faked her death, but she crashed and died.
I think Amelia Earhart did die in her plane crash and no one has been able to find her since she crashed in the ocean and the ocean is huge and could've moved the plane over time. Also I don't think she has a reason to fake her own death.
