Dr. Robert Ballard managed to find the Titanic’s final resting place
but, for now, he has been thwarted by Amelia Earhart’s missing plane.

The New York Times reported on the results of his team’s expedition to
the Pacific Island of Nikumaroro, which was inspired by a 1940
photograph that looked like it might have some landing gear from her
same type of plane. They were joined by National Geographic
scientists, and “Expedition Amelia,” a documentary about the search,
will air Sunday on the National Geographic Channel. Sadly they found
two hats, shipwreck debris, and a soda can, but no Lockheed Electra
airplanes.

However, Ballard feels good about the use of his time and remains
confident that sooner or later somebody is going to find that damn
plane: “This plane exists,” said Ballard. “It’s not the Loch Ness
monster, and it’s going to be found.” He’s going to keep looking—for
his mom:



If Earhart had not used that hopeless
drunk Fred Noonan as her navigator her loss
would have never happened.



Had she better learned to use the newly installed/upgraded radio direction
finder and not removed the long trailing wire that made it more sensitive, she
would lived and basically be lost in the annals of aviation history...never
becoming the heroic aviatrix she's remembered as.

Like a lot of hero/heroines...killed by their own stupidity and eulogized for
decades.
