**Summary of Amelia Earhart's Disappearance Discussion:**
On an episode of "BuzzFeed," the mysterious disappearance of Amelia Earhart was discussed. Amelia Earhart, famously known as the first woman to cross the Atlantic and dubbed the "babe of the sky," vanished with her navigator, Fred Noonan, in 1937 while attempting a round-the-world flight.
Some background on Earhart: Born in 1897 in Atchison, Kansas, she made notable flights including the first female transatlantic flight and a record-breaking non-stop transcontinental flight.
In 1937, Earhart embarked on her ambitious journey to fly around the world, covering approximately 29,000 miles over 40 days. While nearing Howland Island for a refuel stop, her transmissions indicated challenges with headwinds, a change in altitude, and dwindling fuel. Earhart's final transmission suggested proximity to the island, but she was never heard from again.
After her disappearance, several theories emerged:
1. **Crash and Sink Theory:** Earhart's plane ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean.
2. **Castaway Theory:** Earhart and Noonan became stranded on Gardner Island (now Nikumaroro). This theory was supported by the discovery of a partial skeleton on the island and potential radio transmissions post-disappearance.
3. **Other Speculations:** Various radio transmissions were reported post-disappearance from locations worldwide, but the authenticity was questionable. A shoe sole found in 1991 on the island matches the type Earhart wore.
The true fate of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan remains one of history's enduring mysteries.
