US reportedly to search again for Amelia Earhart's plane

It will be found by Jessie Jackson. Turns out Amelia was black.

[P-Marlowe]

Our tax dollars at work play.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Mote wasted money.

[muir_redwoods]

She’s dead and they don’t need a body for her to vote in Chicago. Let it go, even her friends are dead. No one really cares.

[cripplecreek]

I was thinking the same thing. Not really anything of any importance to be learned from it.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Japanese soldiers captured and ate her.

[RitchieAprile]

The half-million-dollar search, <>, will begin in July.

[Psycho_Bunny]

I’m all out of caring about Earhart.

Those 15 minutes were up several years ago.

[doc1019]

Why? We should spend massive amounts of money to follow up on this? If curiosity is strong enough, academia or private investors should take up the challenge, not the taxpayer.

If you are thinking ... what massive amounts of money ... just wait.

[woweeitsme]

Somehow, somewhere, this plane will mysteriously show up and the media will be praising Obama about it.

[ILS21R]

Well the KONY thing didn’t work out. Let’s find Earhart’s plane in October.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

‘zackly.
Why doesn't some writer tackle this story ?
Is government covering the story because no one else wants to ?

[rlmorel]

Screw these people. We are going to come to a hard place like this.

[freedumb2003]

She hasn’t paid the DMV tax in all these years.

You can’t fool the taxman by being “dead.”

[Perdogg]

Maybe WH polling is showing that this “Condom for the women’s vote” is not working.

[Dawggie]

I heard that they may have captured her, but nothing of the consumption.

[mrsixpack36]

It did say it is being funded privately.

[Fiji Hill]

Why don’t they ask me? I know where the plane is. It’s at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

[Kenny Bunk]

This is wonderful news! Wonderful, indeed!

An administration that can't find its own ass with a compass, mirror and flashlight is going to find Amelia's plane. The age of miracles hath not passed. Affirmative Action Ani at work again!

Maybe this Metrosexual Mombasa Marxist MF and his commie cohort can find me some gasoline while they're at it. I have a better idea. Find the frickin' plane and lose frickin' Barack.

[SkyDancer]

Several years ago I went through her home town. History showed she was a sad figure, used by a husband to promote his business. Most of the flying she did was directed by her navigator who she ignored and did her own thing.

[BluH2o]

Emilia Earhart was the Danica Patrick of her generation. All about promoting feminism ... Danica is a mediocre driver & Earhart was a mediocre pilot (saddled with a piss pour navigator). Bottom line ... much to do about very little.

[bramps]

Her and D.B. Cooper are sharing a one bedroom just outside of Lubbock.

[Never on my watch]

To hell with this... I want the government to get to the bottom of the Bigfoot thing! Bobo can't do it alone!

[P-Marlowe]

It did say it is being funded privately.

So are Obama's vacations.

If the state department is committing even one man hour to this project, then it is being subsidized by taxes.

Harpo Marx and Amelia Earhart

[Vermont Lt]

Ok, let’s assume they find the plane. Everyone looks at each other and then what?

Sometimes mysteries are best left unsolved.

[mrsmith]

Getting a little desperate for “Shovel-ready” jobs...

[Revolting cat!]

I’ve heard that she’s shacking up with ELVIS!

[Revolting cat!]

All persons seen and unseen in the picture are dead now.

[af_vet_rr]

An administration that can't find its own ass with a compass, mirror and flashlight is going to find Amelia's plane.

Bob Ballard is supposedly involved. Maybe they are actually looking at K-129 and it's reactor and missiles, just as Ballard used the cover of the Titanic search to look at the wreckage of the USS Thresher and USS Scorpion to see if there were any problems from their nuclear materials.

But it is the Obama administration, so I'm sure they'll muck it up and leak that it was a search for K-129 or something along those lines. Reagan could keep secrets in the 1980s, Obama can't in the 2010s.

[Liberty Valance]

Three classics: Lockheed Electra, Cord Cabriolet, and Amelia Earhart.

[DB]

They’ve already found the tiny island she likely crashed on. They found personal items that had a high likelihood of being hers from what I remember.

[Roccus]

Ok, let’s assume they find the plane. Everyone looks at each other and then what?

They use more taxpayer money to find Judge Crater.

[Shadowstrike]

Wellm they had to find a way to waste more money now didn't they.

[mo]

anything to keep We the People form thinking too much about the cost of the last fillup.....

[rabidralph]

The world is on fire and this is what the State Dept. wants to focus on? Why not have Hillary just re-enact what she thinks happened.

[Young Werther]

Pieces of her aircraft were found several years ago. A welded piece of the belly of the aircraft was identified from pictures made of the aircraft after maintenacne was performed before her final flight.

A shoe and other personal items that she wore during refueling stops were also found which suggest that she survived the crash near this remote island. Remains were found but no positive ID was made.

[Kenny Bunk]

piss pour navigator

WTF? Over.

One more such gratuitous insult directed at my hero Fred Noonan, and my seconds shall call upon you, you heartless cur.

Fred never touched a drop, not a damn drop, until he met this dizzy debutante who barely knew her ass from an aileron. Besides, how the hell are were we ever supposed to find her if Fred didn't throw bottles from the plane?

BTW, Amelia Earhart luggage is absolutely primo.

“I was thinking the same thing. Not really anything of any importance to be learned from it.”

But the distraction value is great.

[Memphis Moe]

Many years ago, Robert Stack said (on Unsolved Mysteries) that the Japanese had forced the plane down and then executed Earhart and her navigator. There were local witnesses they interviewed who claims to have seen the executions.

During the island hopping campaign of WWII, marines found the plane intact in a hangar along with personal effect and passports.

“Plain clothes” folks from the government destroyed all the evidence. Some former marines were interview who found the plane and saw the burning.

Robert Stack’s credentials as a historian are, of course, untouchable.

[ncfool]

Big waste of money. Yep that’s what Obummer does best. Waste money.

[elcid1970]

Somehow I think the best memorial to Amelia Earhart took place in 1997 or so when a modern aviatrix flew a restored Lockheed Electra around the world following the same path, completing her air voyage safely, this time. Modern avionics & navaids helped.

Maybe the time to let A.E. rest in peace is long overdue.

[jusduat]

ok, so why are they searching for something already found
in pieces? What are they really doing?

[wally_bert]

He was a one man strike force for unsolved mysteries....

[WyvernAK]

Yep, but I bet she never missed a chance to vote in all these years!!!

[fso301]

Japanese soldiers captured and ate her.

Most people reading this thread will not understand Eric in the Ozarks was serious with his comment.

[Kenny Bunk]

All you need to know about Bob Stack and Unsolved Mysteries is that they had a show ready to go about Vince Foster, and canceled it after the word came down from Bill and Hillary.
